HIRE A TOURIST GUIDE TO DISCOVER SIENA AND ITS SURROUNDINGS

Hi! I'am ALESSIA QUERCIOLI

Since 2009 I organize tailor-made tours to visit Siena, San Gimignano and discover the stories of my own land, Siena and surrounding.

It is wonderful to share my knowledge and culture with others, people usually look for activities such as sightseeing, cultural events, great food experiences, and unique attractions.

Can I help you with any of those?

Customer reviews

Absolutely fantastic family tour of Siena with Alessia!

He customized the tour based on our children's questions about the Palio and the 17 contrade. We went around the center for more than 9 km with the great enthusiasm of children looking for signs and symbols of the districts. She is certainly knowledgeable, enthusiastic and manages to engage children with games in a dynamic way. Fun for the whole family!

Amazing Tour Guide

I cannot now imagine visiting Siena without going on one of Alessia's tours. As others have said, she is knowledgable and passionate and with a great sense of humour.

excellent

It was a fascinating tour. I am not exaggerating. Back in August 2020, we visited Sienna. If you haven't been there, add it to your bucket list. Alessia welcomed us to her home city, showed us around, told about traditions, took us to the places where important events took place. She was so passionate about the history, about the art, food, traditions. We had a lot of questions, wanted to visit every possible corner of the city. The route was thought and calculated and made it interesting for us, adults, and our children. We fell in love with the city, definitely a place to return. At the end of our tour, when we asked Alessia where we could buy local food, she kindly took us to a shop and we are now back home with salami and wonderful memories. We highly recommend Alessia as your guide in Sienna.

FANTASTIC FAMILY TOUR GUIDE!

AMAZING Local Tour Guide!! We had reached out to Alessia a couple months before our trip to Siena and she was able to confirm a Saturday private tour very quickly for a very reasonable price. Our group of 6 ( including an 8 and 10 year old) had a fantastic day with Alessia! We learned so much about Siena and were able to “walk” in the steps of Catherine of Siena which being Catholic was a big reason we booked a private guide. Alessia is so nice and a local so we learned so much about Siena. She also had fantastic communication with us prior to our arrival.
