"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 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. "

"Idania was a fantastic guide, who introduced us to Siena and its traditions in a passionate and knowledgeable way. We had our three children with us, and she found ways to keep them engaged throughout! We highly recommend!"

"Gaia brought us to a small family winery. We toured fields, cellar demonstrating production, and had tasting with homemade treats. Loved the wine and olive oil. Shipped wine and oil to USA. "

"We arrived in Siena by train from Florence, a group of six who had never visited the city before. We took the tour based around Il Palio, the famous horse race which takes place in the piazza twice a year. Although we had heard about the event none of us had any idea about its impact on Siena and its society. Stella was so engaging and knowledgeable, and spoke brilliant English, and we really came away feeling that we had gained a proper understanding of the race's history and importance. She also weaved in the story of Siena, and gave us lots of recommendations of books and films she thought we would enjoy. Altogether a great afternoon, and I would definitely recommend Stella to others! Thank you!"

"Stella was so sweet and kind. She made our tour very special! We enjoyed our time in Siena. She is an amazing host!"

"We loved our tour with Stella! She is a true local with deep knowledge of Siena and the region. Walking around with her feels like walking around with the town mayor - she knows everyone! We learned a lot and felt like she gave us a great introduction to the city, and made us want to learn even more. Highly recommend!"
