Magic is hiding in plain sight....

My family and I recently visited Siena and booked the Siena Family Tour. With two small children (ages 3 and 4), we were looking for a tour that would be engaging for both adults and kids, and this tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Barbara, was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She made history come alive with fascinating anecdotes and legends, keeping both the adults and children entertained. We discovered the mysteries of Siena and learned about the symbol of Siena, the she-wolf, which proudly stands atop its columns. Barbara also introduced us to the 17 Contrade, the districts of Siena, and their unique animal symbols and she explained the significance of the Palio. The kids especially enjoyed the little fountains scattered throughout the streets where the Sienese are baptized. The tour was a perfect balance of education and fun, making it an ideal experience for families. Barbara’s ability to engage with our young children and make the tour enjoyable for everyone was truly remarkable. I highly recommend this tour to any family visiting Siena. Five stars!

Barbara was an excellent guide. We are a family of 6 with a 7 yr old and 4 yr old. She made the tour very fun and interesting for them while the adults learned a lot too! The 2 hour tour length was perfect.
Start the tour from this beautiful church, from where we can admire the most incredible view of the city.
In the Goose district there is the important fountain, where the kids can play with a famous Sienese game.
Head on towards Tolomei Square, which in the past was the most important square with the gothic palace owned by the noble family Tolomei.
Piazza del Campo hosts twice a year the famous horse race, called Palio. Children willl love to see videos and discover every secret of this medieval tradtion.
Enjoy the magic square of the Cathedral embedded inside the ancient walls, and then see the S.Mary of the Staircase, which today is a museum, but not very long ago it was an important hospital.
Admire this colorful and fully decorated facade and discover how the Sienese wanted to biuld the largest Church in the world.
