Siena Walking Tours with Costanza

Costanza is a lovely person, really sweet and was able to book me in very last minute. She's so well informed and took me around Siena, all the small alley ways, the different districts and a church and really completed the tour in a very well rounded manner at my pace. I loved spending the day with her. We sat down for a coffee afterwards and had a little bit of a chit chat. I would totally recommend her and even book her again when I visit next time for other tours around Tuscany! It was very enjoyable!

Thanks Costanza for three great days in Tuscany. Your local knowledge of the wonderful food, customs and history of Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza, San Gimignano and all the towns in between, made our trip so memorable. Thanks also for selecting the two lovely restaurants, in Siena and Monticchiello. Nothing compares to sitting on the terrace of the restaurant in Monticchiello over looking the Val d’Orcia on such a warm sunny day, it was perfect.

Most of all we would like to thank you for being not just a great tour guide but for being such delightful company for three days.

Cheers

Dear Costanza,

Thank you again for taking us around on Christmas Day. We had a fantastic time and my teenage girls learned so much. Your Lunch and Dinner choices were great and we especially loved that you walked us to both to make sure we would not get lost.

I had private guides in Florence and Rome but NONE compare to you. It was the best walking tour we have ever had and wish you could have been with us throughtout all of Italy. I hope we did not take you away too long on Christmas from for lovely family and beautiful daughter.

Warmest wishes for a happy and healthy new year.

Doing a walking tour with a local guide was one of the highlights of our November trip to Italy. Costanza planned our trek so we got the most out of our 2 days walking through beautiful fields and forests ending up in magnificent historic villages like San Gimignano and Pienza where we visited a farmers’ market and couldn’t resist buying wine, cheese and olive oil to bring home.

Our Italian is poor but her English is excellent so there were no miscommunications. She planned everything efficiently, made suggestions, gave us precise directions and altered the schedule to suit our other commitments. We based ourselves in Siena so she was also able to suggest places to eat in the evenings that aren’t frequented by lots of tourists.

Tante grazie Costanza!

We had been to Siena 2 years ago with another tour, but we only stayed in the city for a couple of hours. Coming back to Tuscany, we decided we wanted to spend more time and learn more about this city that we really only got a taste of last time.

Costanza promptly replied to our e-mails and explained the buses to us. She met us at the bus station and helped us get return tickets and then walked and talked with us for the whole day.

After we saw the catherdral, we mentioned getting some lunch, and she took us to this wonderful restaurant near by. It was some of the best food we had had in Italy!

All in all, this was one of the best tours we have been on. Costanze clearly loves Siena and is passionate about what she does. She is very knowledagable and her price was extremly reasonable.

Thank you for such a memorable day!
