I must do in sienna
Carter_G, Aug 2025
This was the perfect way to learn about sienna and the history of how and when it was started. We learned about the horse racing. We learned about the road from France all the way to Rome and its significance with sienna. Seeing a medieval town in person is spectacular. We ended at the Duomo And that was well worth it. The decorations, frescoes, and history of the church was well worth it. We even were given tickets to go up to an observatory where Galileo Galilei stayed for six months in sienna. It truly was a special way to spend the day. I would highly recommend this tour. It took about one hour. It was just the right amount for our family.
A great summary of a place with an astonishing history
