Experience Siena
Beyond the Guidebooks

Ciao!

I'm Lillo – a local host in the beautiful city of Siena. What I love most here is the deep sense of tradition, the peaceful atmosphere, and the stunning landscapes all around. I spend my free time walking through the historic center, tasting local specialties, and soaking in the unique spirit of the Contradas. I know the Antiporto area and the neighborhoods around the train station like a local - because I am one! With a passion for food, drinks, and the stories that bring Siena to life, I’m excited to share the flavors and traditions of this magical city with you.

Hi, I'm Grazia – a passionate local host in the heart of Siena!

What I love most about this city is everything connected to the Palio, its incredible architecture, and of course, a big plate of pici. You’ll often find me enjoying a gelato while strolling through the city center or discovering a new favorite restaurant tucked away in San Miniato. I know Siena’s traditions inside out – especially the Palio and the stories that bring each Contrada to life. If you're ready to dive into local food, culture, and history, I can't wait to show you the Siena I know and love!

Hi!

I’m Stella – a proud local who loves Siena with all my heart (and stomach!). Whether I’m strolling through the historic streets, chatting with neighbours, or cheering at the Palio, I soak up the city’s energy and traditions every day. I know every corner of Siena, especially my beloved district, La Torre, where the social life is as rich as the wine. I never tire of visiting the Cathedral, exploring museums, or enjoying evenings in Piazza del Campo with friends. If you're looking to experience the real Siena - its food, its stories, its soul - I'm here to share it all with you, one joyful step at a time!

Hi, I’m Francesco, a proud local host and active member of the Torre Contrada in Siena!

What excites me most about this city is the Palio - a 600-year-old horse race that’s much more than a race; it’s the heartbeat of Siena’s 17 family-like Contrade. Beyond the city walls, the province offers UNESCO treasures, stunning landscapes in Val d’Orcia, and the Chianti wine region. I love Siena’s medieval charm, its honest, hearty Tuscan food, and the warm spirit of conviviality. Whether you want practical tips, hidden scenic spots, or cultural gems like museums and theaters, I’m here to make your experience unforgettable!

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!

Hi, I’m Francesca and I’m passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Siena with those who come to explore it.

I adore spending time in the historic center, where every corner tells a story, and I especially love the treasures found in the Bargello and Uffizi museums, Santa Croce, and the Basilica di San Miniato. With a strong background in the food and beverage industry, I also enjoy guiding guests through Siena’s authentic restaurants and lively markets, where our culinary traditions come to life. As a storyteller at heart, I focus on bringing the city’s churches, museums, and medieval and Renaissance heritage to life in a way that feels both engaging and memorable. With me, you’ll experience Siena not just as a visitor, but as part of its living history.
