Book tour with Sabrina. - Our tour guide, Sabrina, was fabulous. She was extremely knowledgeable about the Duomo and Siena. In addition to what was on the itinerary given we had bought the expansive entrance ticket she also took us into the Crypt. After we were done with the Duomo she showed us the church where they bless the horse for Palio in her Owl neighborhood, where community food gets served and the race museum. She also took us into a local bakery and helped us buy desserts. She truly cared and loves what she does and was so enthusiastic to show off her city!!!

Visit at the cathedral - Anna has been the best guide, knowing everything on Siena, art and history. Available to any question we might have, she even extended for free the visit for more then 1 hour, compensating a long cue we had to endure for entering the cathedral.

We loved this private tour very much. - What a wonderful experience this was to have tour guide that is an expert in art history as well as in religion. We certainly appreciate this tour because we got so much more out of it compared to if we went through the duomo on our own or with a large group. We loved it.

Wonderful Siena experience - Our guide, Shaklo was really knowledgeable, funny and nice! I did not expect much besides learning about the cathedral, but she walked us around the town too. We learned a lot about Siena and the people in Siena!
