This walking tour offers a truly local take on Siena, far beyond the postcard views. With your host, you’ll explore hidden chapels, medieval backstreets, peaceful gardens, and the living traditions of the Palio and contrade. Whether you're tracing the path of a district rivalry, admiring Gothic architecture, or sipping wine in a tucked-away enoteca, this is your chance to explore like a local, not a tourist.
After booking, you'll receive a short online Personalization Form to share your interests, preferences, and must-sees.
