"Fernanda was knowledgeable, passionate and very fun to be with. Her English was excellent as well. She made the tour of Siena one of the best days of our trip! I HIGHLY recommend her and I would definitely use her again if I’m ever in the area. "

"My husband and I toured Siena with Stella. We met Stella at a cathedral that is associated with Saint Catharina. We were struck by her passion for sharing her love and knowledge with us. As we toured her home town, she was often greeted on the street by friends. Inside this active church, we learned about the history of the Saint and her relics there. And we also learned about the historical neighborhoods which have kept up a strong identity over centuries. We got an insider look at many major businesses that have direct ties with a multi-layered past. We met small business owners and artists and heard some remarkable stories about archaeological discoveries going back to Etruscan times and new paintings being created using the same methods as in Byzantine art. We encourage others to sign up and experience this adventure themselves. We finished up with a tour of Siena's astounding Duomo and learned about Palio, Siena's unique version of horse racing. So worth it!"

"Thank you Maria Elena for a wonderful experience and sharing the history of Siena. we walked through many regions of the town, discovered the architecture, the story of the Palio and underground archeology of Etruscans. Maria Elena is very knowledgeable and tells a great story. Best way to get to see Siena! "

"Stella was easy to deal with making the booking and gave good advice re getting to Siena from Florence. The tour was excellent, Stella is well educated and gave an excellent overview of Siena and its history. Her insight into the religious paintings in the cathedrals was really interesting. "

"Stella was great, she explained the history of the city with its 17 Provinces and how they were divided. She told us the history of the horse race and why it is such an honor to win there. We saw the city through the eyes of a true historian rather than just being a tourist. She was flexible to our wishes while still being sure we saw the most important parts of the city. I would definitely recommend her and use her again if we were to return. "
