Welcome to Siena, the beating heart of Tuscany and a true gem of the Middle Ages! Together we’ll embark on a journey through the historic center of this enchanting city. We’ll begin at the majestic Basilica of San Domenico, a sacred place that holds precious artistic and spiritual treasures, tied to the legacy of Saint Catherine. From there, we’ll stroll along the historic Via dei Banchi, once part of the famous Via Francigena, the ancient pilgrimage route crossing Europe. I’ll share stories of merchants, travelers, and the vibrant past that still resonates through these streets. Our walk will take us to the city’s heart, the iconic Piazza del Campo, with its unique shell shape, home to the legendary Palio di Siena—the most thrilling and ancient horse race in the world. I’ll unveil the secrets of this centuries-old tradition and the pride of the city’s contradas. Through narrow alleys with irresistible charm, we’ll arrive at the exterior of the magnificent Cathedral, one of Italy’s most beautiful masterpieces. Along the way, breathtaking views will make this journey memorable.

Join me for an unforgettable tour that will make you fall in love with Siena, its history, its traditions, and its enchanting landscapes.
