Description:

One of the best ways to explore the charming city of Siena is on foot. Delve into the fascinating history and wonderful Tuscan culture of this UNESCO World Heritage Site as you take in the city's important landmarks alongside a local guide full of fascinating knowledge and anecdotes.

This 90-minute stroll through the city takes you on a journey of more than 2,000 years of history since its first settlement by the Etruscans. Learn how Siena grew after the Roman Empire and about the Lombards who settled here. Listen to stories about aristocratic families who called Siena home and how the city earned its reputation as a home for nobility.

As you visit Siena's landmarks—including the Piazza del Campo, the cathedral, and the majestic Basilica of San Domenico—your guide divulges historical information as well as legendary stories that surround each of these sights, including the Siena Palio horse race held every year.
