See sights from a local - This was a great way to experience Siena. It was a private tour with just my husband and I and our local tour guide Jay! Jay was amazing and took us to places we would not have found on our own. He even helped us to make dinner reservations at local restaurants! Highly recommend this tour.

Like hanging with a good friend for a few hours - Jalal was an excellent, empathetic, and knowledgeable guide to the city and to his experience as an immigrant scholar in Siena. He put in extra effort beforehand to understand my interests and customize the tour. We shared stories and chatted easily for four hours. I’m a big fan of the Canadian tour operator’s philosophy and approach to storytelling and local culture outside of typical tourist experiences! The tour operator did a good job beforehand in setting expectations for this experience. This style of tour is like visiting with a knowledgeable friend for a while, rather than doing an academic deep-dive into Sienese art, culture, and history. Set your own expectations appropriately and you’ll have a fabulous experience.

Great experience with a Sienese! - We really enjoyed our walk around Siena with Chiara. She was great! We've been to Siena before but wanted to learn some additional details about one of our favorite towns in Tuscany. Meeting a local is a great way to learn more about the cultural aspects of living here as well as obtain tips about restaurants and activities. Highly recommend!

Siena like a local tour was an up close and personal tour of Siena - Met with our guide Gisela who took us on a 2 hour personal walking tour of Siena, showing us a more non-historical side of life in Siena and the people who live there. She answered all our questions and gave us different perspective of life inside and outside the famed walls. Definitely a different way to appreciate the city. Gisela was great.

Nijat Really "Made Our Day" and Siena Visit - Nijat gets a 10+++++++++++++++++++ rating from my wife Jaime and I on 6/25/19 in Siena. He was as knowledgeable, professional, objective, and polite as one could ever dream of and provided exactly what we wanted. When you contacted me to let me know know he would not be providing the "typical" European tour, that was exactly what we were looking for! He was a perfect fit. Also, if Nijat's type of tour is what your firm specializes in (i.e. NOT spending the tour inside museums, art museums, churches, and businesses such as glass blowers, etc.) then that's exactly what we look for and I think many others would prefer as well. And...Nijat should be your model tour guide for that business model!

Very nice kid-Good Exercise - Jalal was a very nice and likable kid with an interesting history. However he know almost nothing about the history of Siena-and much of what he did tell us was wrong. In fact, I knew more than him reading up for 20 minutes or so on my plane ride from the states
