"We had a wonderful evening wandering through the streets and the Duomo of Siena with Stella. Got to visit very interesting places. Stella is a fun, friendly and informative guide."
"We toured Siena with local guide Barbara. Her english language was great so she was easy to understand. She was a wealth of knowledge about Siena and customized the tour to fit our needs. We really enjoyed her. Thank you Barbara. "
"Stella is an excellent tour guide and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. She was extremely knowledgeable, able to impart both historical and modern information about Siena with clarity and insight. She was also charming, warm and engaging. We had a thoroughly delightful time on an evening tour of the city, and greatly enjoyed her insights and perspectives, especially regarding the contrade and their rivalries."
"My husband and I visited Siena for the first time and it will not be our last thanks to Stella! Stella is a native to the area and her pride for this beautiful area is articulated in every word. She is full of knowledge and knows all the gems. She explained the rich history and traditions that still are celebrated today. We visited a variety of places including religious and historical sites but also local food and wine shops which was awesome. The next day, we circled back to local bakery we visited for more delicious cookies known in the area and then to a wine store for a tasting where we wound up joining their wine club because we loved it all so much. Stella gave us recommendations for dinner that did it disappoint! We really enjoyed the local cuisine. Save Stella to see Siena. "
"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!"

Wonderful time in Siena
"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!"
