Ciao! I’m Phil, your local host in Siena. I’m passionate about the city’s winding red-brick streets, where the light plays beautifully between buildings and every corner tells a story. I love discovering hidden gems and spotting unique views - just look up and Siena will surprise you! I know the entire city centre inside the walls, from the majestic Dome and Baptistry to the lively contrada districts. I’m especially drawn to the deep history and culture tied to Siena’s churches and how they shaped the people. The Palio, the food, the traditions - there’s nothing quite like it. Let me show you the soul of Siena, one secret spot at a time!

    The profound explanations about the historically different districts, their social functions which are so specific and unique in Siena and the Palio as part of these traditions still fully alive in Siena.
