This Tuscan hill town will transport you back to the Middle Ages. Siena's grand cathedral, built in the 1200s, has treasured artworks and marvelous marble floors. The Piazza del Campo, the main town square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's also home to the Palio, perhaps the most infamous horserace in the world. No goofy hats and mint juleps here—this is a medieval tradition involving bareback riders racing on cobblestones (so as you might imagine, it's quite dangerous). Siena is an easy daytrip by train from Florence, just 43 miles away.

We booked them over the interest with no knowledge of the company - it was absolutely the best decision we made while in Italy - we ended up using the service every day we were there. Private tour of Siena, wine tasting lunch, trips to Florence, airport transfers and day trip to Cinque Terre. So reliable, personable and willing to share their knowledge of Italy and its traditions. Sylvia made arrangements for the tour of Siena - which was fantastic and the wine tasting lunch is one of our best memories. Can not thank them enough for making our trip so special!!! Do not hesitate to book with them.

You can contact me and it will be my pleasure to share my secrets with you.
WE had such a wonderful visit in Tuscany and it was due to Lorenzo! We were fortunate enough to tour with Lorenzo for FOUR days and each of those days were spectacular. We bonded with him and now call him one of our dear friends. He took us to several Tuscan villages and arranged several wine tastings (with lunch) that were fantastic and filled with passion and knowledge by their owners. He assisted prior to our visit with restaurant reservations in Siena and Montepulciano. Lorenzo taughts us so many things about Italy and the history! Lorenzo is a wealth of knowledge. His van is large and was so comfortable to be taken around all day. He stopped at many places for picture taking and knows all the spots! Each day was great! We will defnitely tour with Lorenzo again. He is classy and made our visit spectacular!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Lorenzo. 'Till we meet again my dear friend'!
