About this experience

Discover the medieval streets of Siena with a personal guide at your side. Go off the beaten path and discover the alleys and streets that immerse you into the 17 unique districts (called “contrade”) of the city, as well as visit the most important highlights. The 3-hour tour starts at the Basilica of San Domenico, then continues to the famous Piazza del Campo, where you’ll get the insider’s look into the history and spectacle of the Palio di Siena, a biannual horse race with roots going back to the 13th century. Learn about Siena’s golden age of architecture and discover cultural treasures that take you beyond a typical tour. Other stops include the Cathedral (including its ornate interior); the Piccolomini Library with frescoes by Pinturicchio; and the Piccolomini Chapel, where Michelangelo worked.
