  Your guide will walk you through the perfectly-preserved medieval streets to the center of the city - Piazza del Campo. In a city that seems frozen in the Renaissance, it truly exemplifies medieval glory throughout the Tuscany region. With a rich history of architecture, art, and culture, the city of Siena itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

  Piazza del Campo

  Piazza del Campo is a must-see in Siena. This (very) large, oval shaped “piazza” is a popular gathering place for locals to meet with family, friends, and classmates. You will probably notice Sienese locals resting on the wide slopes, which lead to Palazzo Comunale and Torre del Mangia. The vibrant square is also home to an annual palio horse race, an epic competition between the different neighborhoods of Siena!

  Duomo di Siena

  exploring Siena as you please, it is recommended you take some time to visit the heart of the city - the Siena Cathedral. As you walk up to the church, you will immediately notice the breathtaking facade decorated colorfully in pink, green, white, and black marble. Constructed in the 1200’s, this is a perfect example of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. Inside the Cathedral, take some time to admire the unique floors filled with marbled mosaics, depicting biblical stories on 56 different scenes. As you look up, you will see masterpieces throughout the church from Renaissance masters including Donatello, Pisano, Pinturicchio, and Michelangelo. Stroll through the grandiose atmosphere inside, and before exiting, don't forget to stop in the hidden gem of the Cathedral - the deep-colored frescoes of the Piccolomini Library!

  A truly unforgettable evening awaits you… You will be brought to a rustic wine estate in the heart of the Chianti wine region. The estate overlooks the rolling hills and lush land. You will be seated at a prepared table among the vineyards of the estate. Does it get much better than this? One of the local wine producers will serve the appetizers of local, seasonal products such as bruschette, salami, and fresh cheese. Then, indulge in a home cooked pasta dish, all made with local products from the region. And the best part - your dinner will include a tasting of various high-quality wines, including Chianti Classico. Enjoy this fantastic meal under the glowing, colorful sky of Tuscany as the sun falls into the horizon.
