Tours in Siena

Siena. how to see? The historic centre that in 1955 was declared World Heritage by UNESCO is unmissable. The first thing you notice is the stylistic uniformity of the virtually intact medieval urban architecture: Piazza del Campo, with its characteristic shape of a shell, Palazzo Pubblico, Torre del Mangia and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta – unmissable thanks to its white and green marble. These are just some of the treasures you will enjoy when taking part in our Siena tours!

If you are wine lovers, toscanainside.com offers unmissable excursions during which, in addition to visiting the landmarks and monuments of Siena, you will appreciate the evocative atmosphere of its ancient hamlets and enjoy local wines and local products in a traditional wine tavern.

Concerning Siena’s villages, we cannot fail to mention the best known one: San Gimignano. Recognizable even from a distance thanks to its 14 towers, this village perched on a hill in Val d'Elsa offers to its visitors an incredible and charming experience. For this reason it has been included in our Siena guided tours: walking through the narrow medieval alleys, you will learn about the history of this village and savour its present.

Located in the heart of Tuscany, Siena is easily accessible by car, train or bus. To facilitate those who are staying in other cities of the region, some of our tours include a departure from different locations, such as Florence or the Port of Livorno (a solution designed especially for cruise passengers in arrival).

Do not forget that Siena, in Tuscany and abroad, is also known as the location of the ‘Palio’, one of the most important national events: every year thousands of people flock to Piazza dal Campo to watch the exhilarant horse race between the various districts.

After this brief overview, you'll see that one day in Siena is certainly not enough to get to know the city and its many facets. By taking part in our Siena tours, you will admire the main attractions of Siena (monuments, works of art and landmarks), discover its century-old villages and learn about the ancient traditions. We are sure you will depart with the desire to come back as soon as possible!
