Hi there, my name is Silvia and I live in a small cute village of the Chianti close to Siena. I am an outhorized city guide of Siena and Florence as well as an outhorized nature guide of Tuscany. I graduated in foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Siena, English and German. I am an energetic person who loves travel, nature, traditions and good food in Italy, expecially pasta and gelato. . . but not only! I am a mother, so don’t worry if you are a family with kids, I know how it is travelling with children and I will be happy to make the tour fun also for them. Working in turism for me is the way to share my favorite things with other travellers as well as meeting people from other countries. It would be a pleasure for me to show you the Tuscan corners that I prefer, through towns and countryside, and I hope to bring an eager and fun addition to your vacation! Please don't hesitate to write me about what you would like to see and do with me, or if you have any specific needs and interests, my goal is to create unforgettable experiences and memories for you! See you in Tuscany ciao Silvia Authorized city guide Authorized nature guide Tour guide When the tour requires transportation, I will not be your driver. I will accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

This was really a fantastic way to experience Siena when getting to the city. The history of the area is incredibly rich and extensive, and it was really such a treat to walk the streets with a local expert. Silvia was just that, a ton of knowledge and just a really fun person to spend time with as you walk and learn about Siena. The tour was structured very well, and she was able to tailor it to our specific interests. We even got a great last minute lunch recommendation from her when our initial plans had fallen through. Can't recommend this experience enough!

Here is a more polished and professional version of your review while keeping the enthusiasm strong: --- Sylvia was exceptional, and I highly recommend her. Her energy was infectious, and her depth of knowledge about Siena’s history, the Palio horse races, and the origins and rivalries of the city’s neighborhoods was truly impressive. She tailored the experience perfectly to our request for a tour with more walking and less standing, maintaining a comfortable and engaging pace throughout. From the very beginning, she kept us interested and involved, making the entire experience both enjoyable and enriching. If you are visiting Siena, choosing Sylvia as your guide will undoubtedly enhance your experience.

Silvia gave our family of eight a fantastic tour of Siena. Although some of us had been there before, Silva explained and showed us a lot of new and interesting hidden secrets of Siena and its neighborhoods. Her friendly, pleasant and engaging personality was really enjoyed by all of us ( ages 20- 80 ). You will definitely enjoy having Silvia take you around. She also gave us an excellent tour in San Gimignano.
