Exceptional tour with a passionate local guide - A fabulous morning tour with Sandra, who took us off the beaten track to avoid the crowds or tour groups through the backstreets with tales of Sienese life, history and the neighbourhoods. And then the food. Sandra took us to restaurants and delis we would not have found and the food (cheese/charcuterie, local pasta, gelato, biscuits and coffee) were all sublime and washed down with a glass of wine. Sandra is a passionate food and wine expert and shared this with us. A highlight of our trip, having done similar in other cities. This was up there with the best!

Best Food Tour Ever! - Sandra was such an amazing guide! We went to 5 locations. Started w appetizers, then went to another restaurant for the main courses, we then had gelato at a fantastic shop, went for a sampling of desert cakes in a great store and ended the tour w our choice of coffee, cappuccino or espresso. The food was amazing. However, the best part of the tour was all of the historical landmarks with Sandra giving us detailed information about the city, architecture, etc. On top of that she went into great detail of the origin of Italian food and wine. She was just amazing. Told us all about the war between Siena and Florence, showed us where the annual horse races were and really explained Italians deep love and relationship to good food. She was lovely and informative! This is a city/ food tour rolled into one. You can’t go wrong!! Thank you Sandra for a beautiful day!

Sandra is the best - Our guide Sandra was spectacular! She took us to “non-touristic” special places, patiently talked through the foods and history and even how to distinguish between a “real” (quality) gelato stop vs one to skip. Loved this tour, loved this guide!

Amazing food and walking tour experience. - Really wonderful small group tour. Our local guide, Alexandra, was kind and so very pleasant. She was incredibly well educated about the cities history, culture, wine and food. The stops were a good variety and specific to Siena food and beverage. Would absolutely recommend this tour for everyone!

Fantastic introduction to the City - A food tour is one of the best ways of finding out more about a City. This one, though expensive, was no exception. Our guide showed us around the City, stopping at several different eateries to try starters, mains and desserts, and catering for those with special requirements (ie Gluten free). We thoroughly enjoyed it and the other people on the tour. The only reason I have rated it a 4 out of 5 is that you had to choose either white or red with each course and I would have liked to taste both.
