Siena Private Highlights and Hidden Gems Walking Tour
Overview
This walking tour offers a truly local take on Siena, far beyond the postcard views. With your host, you’ll explore hidden chapels, medieval backstreets, peaceful gardens, and the living traditions of the Palio and contrade. Whether you're tracing the path of a district rivalry, admiring Gothic architecture, or sipping wine in a tucked-away enoteca, this is your chance to explore like a local, not a tourist.
After booking, you'll receive a short online Personalization Form to share your interests, preferences, and must-sees. Your City Unscripted guide will personally reach out to craft a fully customized itinerary that suits your style—whether you love history, food, hidden gems, or cultural experiences.
