Day 1

Siena, an unchanged international hub of art an culture, is home to several world renown museums, ancient festivities and a 750 year-old university. Our enchanting
8-hour tour will lead you through a town in a perfect state of Medieval and Renaissance architecture.
If travelling in the summertime, you will join the town's inhabitants dressed in Renaissance garb for the time-honoured tradition of the Palio horse race around Siena's main square.
Siena is not just home to the Palio, but also to world famous Cathedral, captivating Medieval spires and towers atop stately public buildings. Siena is also known for its surrounding wine-producing towns and villages such as San Gimignano, whose fortified walls, borgo and 14 towers were founded upon an ancient Etruscan settlement. There is also nearby Montalcino, a town producing Italy's most prestigious and sought-after red wine -the robust Brunello red vintage. Another possible Sienan countryside route can be taken through the Chianti Castles region .This area produces world renown Chianti red wines. Here we will lead you to any of several wineries and trattorias where you can taste for yourself these classic reds and together with hearty Tuscan meat and vegetable recipes.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
