    Disappointed

    We have traveled the world. Always using Viator. The guide was nice but literally had no knowledge. We knew more than her. Not happy at all This is not a good look for Viator. Disappointed

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your walking tour in Siena did not live up to your expectations, especially as a frequent traveler. While we are glad you found the Lokafyer friendly, we completely understand how important local insight is to creating a meaningful experience. Our tours are designed to offer a casual, personal perspective of the city rather than a traditional, data-heavy historical tour, but we clearly fell short of delivering a valuable experience for you. We will be reviewing this closely with the local partner to ensure better alignment and preparation moving forward.

    Nice Venice walk

    Nice, casual introduction to Venice. AMA was very proactive in getting to us before the tour and made sure we got what we wanted for our tour.

    Our guide Martina was delightful.

    Martina was a terrific guide for our stroll through Siena. She took us to both the touristy areas and the off beat spots. Would gladly recommend her tour.

    Exploring Siena with Martina!

    Martina is a very friendly and kind and knowledgeable guide. I had the best experience with her as she showed me the important sights and explained the history of Siena. It was a pleasure to spend some hours with her.

    A one of a kind tour of Siena

    Giacomo guided me on a solo tour of Siena this afternoon and it was my best tour so far. He took me outside the city center to see some to other smaller churches and a spectacular view back to Siena from the north. He was very knowledgeable but also added in some of his personal experiences growing up there. It was fantastic and I highly recommend him as a guide. Steve

    Siena Private Walking Tour with a Local: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Siena Private Walking Tour with a Local cost?

    +

    Prices start at $55 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 Siena Private Walking Tour with a Local 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 Siena Private Walking Tour with a Local worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 16 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 Siena Private Walking Tour with a Local?

    +

    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 Siena Private Walking Tour with a Local 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 Siena Private Walking Tour with a Local?

    +

    Around 6 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 Siena Private Walking Tour with a Local 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 Siena Private Walking Tour with a Local?

    +

    Included: Customized private walking tour; Private walking tour with a Lokafyer (local host); and Personalized itinerary tailored to your interests. Not included: Personal expenses; Tips and gratuities (optional); Optional activity costs; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    +
