    Siena with Noara

    Our tour of Siena was delightful. Maria, our guide was knowledgeable and eager to show us this beautiful city. We needed to change the start time of our tour and Maria was very flexible in her schedule and was able to accommodate our needs. She was eager to make sure we saw all the important site.

    Great Tour Guide

    Barbara Grdanicki was a great tour guide. She went out of her way to accommodate us! She took us to all the main attractions plus one we requested. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking to explore Siena.

    Siena and Tuscany Through Gaia's Eyes

    My wife and I met Gaia on our first full day in Siena in the hopes of seeing and understanding more about the history and culutre of Siena and Tuscany at large. Safe to say we could not have gotten any luckier in connecting with her. Her knowledge, candor, humor and love for this beautiful part of Italy is inspiring. Her willingness and patience to answer our many questions (trust me, there were a lot!) made us feel at home and allowed us to connect with the area in a way that would be impossible in any other setting. If you are in or planning a trip to Siena or Tuscany in general, do yourself a favor and connect with her. It will add a dimension to your travels that would be impossible to acheive on your own. :)

    Great Walking Tour

    We had an evening tour with Marco. He is awesome! So full of knowledge and is a true student & teacher of art history and the history of Florence. We started at the statue of Dante in front of Santa Croce and began a wonderful tour learning about the different influences found throughout the city. We were super impressed by everything Marco showed us especially the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. We were awestruck with how massive and beautiful the Cathedral is. Marco also gave us many insider tips like the best and oldest gelato shop in town Vivoli. He also recommended a great restaurant that we very much enjoyed, Da Ganino, so good. Thank you for a great tour Marco! We are already planning another trip back and will definitely take another tour with you! Grazie mille!!

    Great tour guide

    We had a fantastic tour with Laura in 2019. She is passionate about her city and she knows many little known facts about it. She took us to places that only locals know about, but also to the famous sites. It was very informative and well worth it.

    Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siena.

    How much does Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included cost?

    +

    Prices start at $221 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siena is not rushed.

    Is Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siena can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siena and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siena within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Siena?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Siena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Brunello di Montalcino Wine-Tasting Trip from Siena, Siena: A Wine Tour and Tasting Experience, Small-Group Montepulciano and Pienza Day Trip from Siena. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Siena?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Siena?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included?

    +

    Included: Local private guide; Carbon-neutral tour; Entrance to the Duomo of Siena; Private Tour; and 1 Local Drink or Snack. Not included: Hotel Pick-up and Drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included?

    +

    Piazza del Campo under the tower Torre del Mangia Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Highlights & Hidden Gems of Siena Private Tour - Duomo Included if the weather is bad?
