Siena: private 2-hours tour of the treasure chest of Tuscany
Let our local guide guide you to discover the irresistible city of Siena, unique for having maintained its unmistakable medieval style intact. The main foundation of Siena's history, customs and popular traditions is the Palio, a horse race that takes place in the city twice a year, an event of great importance to the Sienese, who divide their supporters into contrade (districts) rich in legends, fervour and ancient symbols. The main attractions that our guide will show you during the tour are the splendid Piazza del Campo, with its characteristic shell shape, the majestic Palazzo Pubblico, the Torre del Mangia and the Fonte Gaia, a model of Renaissance sculpture. No less important, strolling through the alleyways of the centre, you will reach one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Italy, the Duomo di Siena. There are also alleys, narrow streets, ancient palaces, artisan shops, wineries and the many shops of the typical sweets of Siena: panforte, ricciarelli, cavallucci.

Where this sits in Siena
Siena is about 1 hr 16 min by road from Florence Peretola Airport. A medieval city that stopped growing and never lost its shape — the shell-shaped Campo, the striped duomo, streets that climb. Quieter than Florence and, for a few days, better company.
