Worth the money
Roberta was excellent. We LOVED the one on one time and are happy we spent the extra money on a tour like hers. We had never been to Siena and we feel she did an amazing job showing us the streets and scenery we would have missed on our own.
via Viator
This tour did not provide...
This tour did not provide the depth of knowledge we have received from other private tours in the past. This also felt like a normal walking tour, not a “Secret Siena” tour. For example we walked past the Basilica of San Domenico as part of the tour, but we were not informed that the relics of St. Catherine (including her preserved head) are inside and we had to return another day by ourselves to go in and see them.

Great Tour Guide!
Roberta was very interesting, knowledgeable, and accommodating! We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Lovely introduction to Siena
Our first time to Siena will be memorable because of our tour with Roberta. She is kind, patient, and you can tell she has much joy in sharing her knowledge about Siena. We learned so much, appreciated her pace and for showing us historical and meaningful places. Great private tour!
via Tripadvisor
Personalized and unique way to explore Siena
We were so fortunate to find Roberta on Viator. We chose the secrets of Viena for couples option and truly enjoyed the tour. First, we couldn't find parking and she gave us suggestions and patiently waited for us. Roberta is so knowledgeable and answered all our questions about the history, culture and currently lifestyle of locals. Her attention to detail to ensure we had a great experience was second to none. We made a stop to try local and delicious pastries. At end, Roberta gave us additional suggestions to visit other places which we did and truly enjoyed as well.

Secret Siena Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siena.
How much does Secret Siena Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $257 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 Secret Siena Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Secret Siena Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 11 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 Secret Siena Walking Tour?
+
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 Secret Siena Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Secret Siena Walking Tour?
+
Around 4 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Secret Siena Walking Tour 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 Secret Siena Walking Tour?
+
Included: Private guided tour with licensed guide. Not included: Museum tickets, food and drinks; and tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Secret Siena Walking Tour?
+
In front of Saint Dominic church, Siena Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Secret Siena Walking Tour 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 Secret Siena Walking Tour?
+
