Siena is a treasure trove of historical, artistic, religious, and cultural riches all to be discovered. The best way to do it is on foot, admiring the changes to the town over the centuries and enjoying its spectacular views and the interesting details of its history. Led by an expert guide, you will be able to appreciate the major tourist attractions like Piazza del Campo, the true heart of the town, the Palazzo Comunale (Town Hall), the Cathedral and the majestic Basilica of San Domenico. There will also be no lack of references to the great noble families, such as the Piccolomini, Tolomei, and Salimbeni, and their palazzos, to the great tradition of the Siena Palio, and also to the stories of pilgrimage and saintliness that distinguish the town. The walk continues with a visit to the Duomo, Siena's impressive Cathedral, which preserves the treasures of artists like Nicola Pisano, Duccio di Buoninsegna, Donatello, Pinturicchio and Gianlorenzo Bernini, as well as its marvellous marble floor, a unique example in the history of art. Please note, on Sundays, instead of the Cathedral another museum will be visited. This monolingual tour lasts approximately 1 hour.
