Best of Siena: tour a piedi privato con un local

Elsawi contacted me the day before the tour to ask if there was anything I would like to focus on and as it is the lead up to the Palio I asked for some history about this event. I was running late (missed my bus stop and ended up on a tour of the area) and Elsawi waited for me despite being considerably late. The tour was great, we went to the main sites, I learnt about the history of Siena and the passion and competitiveness of the Palio. Elsawi was knowledgeable and engaging and I would definitely recommend this tour

This tour was a fraud. We had to stop the tour after 30 min since the “guide” could not reapond to any of the questions we asked. Basic things such as when was the main building in the city built. We had to ask questions since he just basically said the names of the places but no historical facts. I have made many walking tours, and never had one that was so bad and inaccurate. It’s sold as a private tour, very expensive. For this price we expected someone qualified. This company “Humrahe”, that we booked through Getyourguide should have some filters to select their so-called “guides”.
