Hi, I’m Silvia, a local host in Siena with a deep love for this extraordinary city and its countryside. What I love most about Siena is the intact medieval atmosphere you feel as you wander through its streets and squares. The Palio and the contrade are the true soul of the town, strong and genuine traditions that make Siena unique in the world. I’m especially passionate about the Cathedral, Piazza del Campo, and the city’s incredible art treasures. I’ve lived in Siena’s historic center for years and have been guiding in Tuscany for almost 20 years as both a city and nature guide. I love walking in nature, discovering new trails, enjoying picnics with views over the Tuscan countryside, and getting lost in the breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding hills. I know Siena and its province, San Gimignano, Volterra, Chianti, Val d’Orcia, Pienza, Montepulciano, and the Brunello di Montalcino area very well. As a food and wine lover, I can introduce you to family-run wineries and farms where you can meet the owners themselves. I’m also a mother, and I know how to make experiences engaging and fun for children too. I can’t wait to share the beauty, flavors, and traditions of Siena with you.
