About this tour
A three-hour private walk through Siena with a local guide who knows where the city actually breathes. You'll see the Duomo, Piccolomini Library, and Piazza del Campo, but the real draw is what happens between the monuments—the backstreet bars, neighbourhood spots, and stories only someone who lives here can tell. Your guide shapes the route around their passions and your interests, so you get Siena filtered through genuine local knowledge rather than a script.

What to expect
Your guide meets you and walks you through central Siena's major sights at a conversational pace. The Duomo visit is structured, but once inside you'll understand why it matters beyond the guidebook facts. Between landmarks, you'll veer into quieter streets where your guide stops to explain how locals actually spend their time—a bakery they love, a corner café, the politics of the neighbourhood. You'll pause for your included refreshment somewhere authentic, not touristy. The route isn't fixed; if you want to linger in a piazza or skip something to explore further, they'll adjust. Expect three hours of walking on medieval streets—some steep, some narrow.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for uneven cobblestones. The tour works for all fitness levels but involves uphill sections. Prams and strollers are manageable. Public transport is nearby if you need to bail early. Your guide isn't a driver—this is walking distance exploration of the centro storico.
