Siena Private Guide

My name is Costanza - I am a private city and hiking guide  for Siena and its province. Walking is the best way to explore the hidden spots of a beautiful area like the tuscan countryside, so come along and take a walk with me!

My region - Siena, one of the best preserved medieval cities in the world, its countryside, with beautiful and famous hills dotted with castles, villas, little towns like Montalcino, Montepulciano, San Gimignano, where most of the famous wines of the region are produced, besides the Chianti area of course. All over the countryside we can find etruscan thumbs, interesting churches, evocative medieval villages extremely well preserved or even ruins of them, that we can reach only on foot, and we can walk along the so-called Francigena route, like the pilgrims did centuries ago (but with a lot more comfy shoes!)

About me -I am a licensed city and hiking guide for Siena and its province. I have a degree in Natural Sciences. I am also a wine expert, having done two levels of sommelier course. I have been working as a guide over the last 10 years and I love meeting new people and share with them my knowledge of the area in all their aspects.

Special interest tours -I offer tours of Siena, its main monuments and also interesting hidden spots that usually tourists don’t visit. I also offer tours of the main towns such as San Gimignano, Pienza, Montepulciano. With me you can also enjoy easy walking tours of half or full day, ranging from 3 to 6 miles, usually ending with a wine tasting and tour of the cellar of local wineries, or tasting of other local products, such as pecorino cheese of the crete senesi or extra virgin olive oil. Customized tours and tours on request also. I am available for bus groups.

My Past Guest's Comments

Costanza was our guide for a day hike near San Gimignano and our experience was wonderful.  We  made all of our arrangements from home via email.  Her directions were clear and we had no trouble meeting her at the designated spot.  Our day was interesting, informative, and fun.  She was very knowledge about the area and most pleasant to spend the day with.  We went on a long walk and then had a lovely lunch at a farm, and then had another work in the afternoon.  When we return to Italy we will contact Costanza and use her again.  It really was one of the best days of our vacation to Tuscany.
