We did a walking tour of Siena with a large group for my sister’s wedding. Chiara was not only very knowledgeable but very personable as well. She was patient with a larger group and even helped us find a restaurant to eat at. Her English was easy to understand as well!

Chiara was enthusiastic and informed, which made learning about Siena wonderful. She was continuously mentioning things along the way and pointed out spots that we would have otherwise never noticed. Highly recommend her as a tour guide.

Chiara was our very knowledgeable and personable guide in Sienna. Before the tour she provided us with parking directions very close to our meeting place which was so helpful. Chiara easily guided us away from the more crowded streets to more accessible side streets during the tour. Her knowledge of each of the contrade districts was impressive as was her detailed accounts of the history of the people, art, sculptures and religion. The Piazza del Compo was a highlight of the tour. She had detailed pictures of the Plaza during the Palio di Sienna and was able to provide first hand knowledge of the horse race. Chiara was our favorite guide during our trip to the hill towns of Tuscany and I would highly recommend her for any of the Sienna region tours.

Our family spent the week before Christmas in Italy and we decide to spend a day in Siena on our way to Florence. We hired Chiara to show us around the city and to share with us it's unique history. She was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend her if you are ever lucky enough to visit this city! We fell in love with Siena -- thanks again Chiara...hopefully we will see you again soon for another adventure!

We did a walking tour of San Gimignano and Siena. Chiara was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable of the two cities. We had a group of 6 and she helped us find a driver to take us from Montepulciano, where we were staying, to the two cities. We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed Chiara’s company.

Grazie Chiara, ci hai accompagnato in un viaggio meraviglioso nel tempo e nello spazio... Siena é bellissima, non avremmo potuto apprezzarla cosi se tu non ci avessi "guidato"!!! Complimenti. Lorenza Paolo Pietro e Vittoria.

Chiara è capace, gentile e molto disponibile. Ci ha fatto vedere la città in ogni suo piccolo dettaglio rendendo la nostra esperienza unica e fantastica. È consigliatissimo un tour in sua compagnia per poter assaporare tutte le sfumature di Siena.
