"Think about it. A tour of three hours in a city, you don’t know. Come on. But Pamela made the impossoble to at very engaging and interesting Tours de Siena. Not a minute too long. She is well prepared, always open to questions and putting the answers into a bigger context. It was a pleasure to spent the afternoon in Siena with Pamela."

"We met with Stella and right from the start we knew she knew her stuff. As we walked through town we stopped along the way to meet local shop keepers, while she provided the history behind the different districts ( and we know now there are 17!) She took us into Il Duomo pointing out the stories behind many of the statues, paintings and sculptures. Traversing the city with her was a real treasure! We would recommend to anyone who wants to learn about Siena to take a tour with Stella "

"Idania is fun! Knowledgeable, interesting, good sense of humor, personable, and relatable. The four of us are glad we chose her for our tour. She gave easy directions to our meeting place and the late afternoon time was great since the day-crowds were gone. The Duomo was not crowded. The landmarks and history were intriguing. While enjoying an aperitivo at the end of our time with her, she gave great suggestions for everything we asked for. We were grateful for her insight as we went to all the places she suggested. Choose Idania - she's perfetta!"

"What an amazing afternoon we had with Stella on our private food walking tour. We tasted sweets, savoury and a variety of different wines from the region. A great way to start our stay in Siena to get our bearings. Thank you Stella!"

"My husband, teenage son and teenage nephew had a great food tour experience with Stella. She is knowledgeable, kind, friendly and lots of fun. Stella explained lots about Siena's history and the Palio as we walked leisurely around the city, and we liked that she personalized the tour by both giving us her own family's history/perspective, and that she gave us options on what we wanted to see and eat. Stella also patiently answered all of our questions. We loved all of the food stops, especially the meat/cheeses and the pizza! I highly recommend Stella!"

"Stella is a wonderful guide. She is from Siena and very passionate about her city. She is extremely knowledgeable and we had a fantastic 3 hours exploring parts of the city with her. Our favourite part of our tour was walking through her 'Elephant & Castle' neighbourhood and learning about the competition between the neighbourhoods. We really appreciated the local perspective. A wonderful tour and we would recommend Stella as a tour guide. "

"Stella was an extremely knowledgeable, passionate and fun guide! We had a short time to spend with her but she took us to all the highlights, explained more than the sights, but the culture and the history as well. Her enthusiasm and love for her native city was palpable and contagious. Highly recommend Stella! We will definitely return to Siena!"

"What a treat to have this special insight into Siena and the Palio on the day of the last trial! Stella brought the excitement and the drama of this event alive with her personal insights and historical storytelling. This really was a highlight to our time in Tuscany, and we loved having this enriched understanding as it buzzed all around us!"

"We did a wonderful evening tour of Siena with Stella - she was a fantastic guide, showing us through all of the “hidden gems” of Siena, including wine-tasting in an Etruscan tomb, and lucky moments like finding banner-holders practicing for the Palio marches. The evening tour was cooler and less crowded than middle of the day, which enabled us to enjoy the town more. Stella is clearly a local, with local knowledge and connections. She was interesting and animated so our teenage kids maintained interest, and it was a really fantastic evening. Highly recommended!"

"We had a wonderful morning with Gaia. She kindly collected us from our Siena hotel & drove us (very skilfully) to Il Pino, a beautiful organic farm & vineyard near Poggibonsi in the Tuscan countryside. We enjoyed a short walking tour of the farm seeing olive trees, vineyards, sheep & cattle. An incredible panoramic view towards San Gimignano was a highlight. An early lunch of delicious farm produced & homemade olives, bread, delicious olive oil, cheeses & cured meats plus pasta & Pappa al Pomodoro was served to us by Mannino family members in there fabulous kitchen / dining loft. We tasted the wineries two wines & particularly enjoyed the Chianti. After coffee & a fond farewell Gaia drove us back through the stunning & picturesque countryside to Siena. Gaia was great company & very easy to talk to. The conversation flowed effortlessly. A fabulous trip. "
