Palio di Siena private tour – all about this centuries-old tradition

Together we will embark on a journey going back in time to discover the fascinating history of one of the greatest Medieval cities in Italy.

We will follow the routes walked by ancient pilgrims, admire architectural jewels, such as the wonderful Duomo and the stunning shell-shaped Campo Square, we will visit St Dominic’s Church talking about one of the greatest and most incredible women of Medieval Europe, St Catherine from Siena, and we will also get lost in a maze of hidden spots and lovely corners off the beaten track.

Last but not least, we will unlock the secrets of Siena’s most ancient tradition, the Palio horse race, and of its so-called Contradas (districts), which are the 17 beaten hearts of this proud, strong, and still very authentic beautiful city.

The Classic Walking Tour of Siena can last up to 3 hours and includes both the highlights of the city, such as St Dominic’s Church, Salimbeni and Tolomei Squares, the Duomo and the wonderful Campo Square, and also some hidden corners off the beaten track.
