An Absolute Gem of a Tour - This was honestly one of the best tours I’ve been on, and I’ve done hundreds. Our guide was informative and interesting. We stopped for gelato tasting, wine tasting, and had a delicious lunch of traditional Tuscan cuisine. We saw so much of Siena and heard about its history. The tour with lunch was about an hour longer than what the info said so I was glad I didn’t have anything planned for afterwards.

Great tour! - I recently had an amazing walking tour of Siena, and I can’t recommend it enough! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and truly a joy to be with, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. The city is stunning, and exploring it on foot allowed us to soak in all its beauty. Just a tip: be sure to wear comfortable shoes, as there’s plenty of walking involved. This tour is a must-do when you’re in Siena!

Great lunch at the end of the tour - Julie was a wonderful guide, however I feel like there were some areas where she shared too much details that made me lose attention. Also, I felt like the description was a bit misleading, I thought this was a tour with multiple tastings and lunch at the end, but we only tasted three different gelatos in the beginning of the tour and two sparkling wines before lunch. So I suggest you have a light breakfast because the tour started at 10:30 and lunch was at 1pm.

Julie was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. - The tour was fantastic, we saw many important areas of Siena. We learned about wine in the area, visited many historical sites and views. Most of all we had an excellent lunch and wine tasting.

Missteps and a low quality lunch - Not well organized. Gelato shop nice. Sparkling wine tasting at a high quality store. Greasy pizza appetizer. Lunch a disaster! Fast food pasta shop serving overly salted pasta in cardboard takeout containers with a questionable liquid called wine to wash it down. This tour needs a total makeover.
