We recently had the pleasure of exploring Siena with Sylvia, and I can't recommend her enough! Traveling with two kids (ages 9 and 11), she made the entire experience engaging and fun for the whole family. From the moment we met her, she connected with our children, turning history into a series of captivating stories rather than dry facts. She knew fascinating legends and stories about Siena, making the city's rich history come alive. We all loves the stories of the neighborhood rivalries, the Palio horse race, and the traditions of the local neighborhoods. They especially loved her interactive approach, asking them questions and keeping them involved throughout the tour. She pointed out hidden details we would have never noticed on our own, making the experience feel truly special. If you're visiting Siena with your family, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Sylvia. She made our trip memorable, and we can't thank her enough for such a fantastic day!
