About this tour
Spend three hours wandering Siena's backstreets with a local food enthusiast who knows where to eat. You'll stop at ten different spots for savoury bites, sweets and drinks—cantucci, gelato, regional specialities—while your guide points out the Piazza del Campo and other landmarks that shaped the city. It's a tasting tour that doubles as a walking introduction to how Sienese people actually eat.

- Cantucci, gelato, and lesser-known Siena dishes
- Piazza del Campo and Torre del Mangia viewed en route
- Private group—just you and your host

What to expect
Your foodie host will lead you on foot between neighbourhood spots, stopping at each for a tasting or two. You won't sit down for a meal; instead you'll stand, eat, chat and move on. Between bites you'll pass the city's iconic squares and palaces—your guide will explain their history in context, not as a separate sightseeing lecture. Expect a mix of textures and flavours: savoury cured meats or cheeses, then something sweet, then a local wine or digestivo. The pace is leisurely. Three hours moves quickly when you're eating and talking.
Good to know
Bring an appetite but not a huge one—ten tastings add up. You'll walk on cobblestones, so comfortable shoes matter. The tour doesn't include entry fees to monuments (you view them from outside) or transport to the starting point. Prams work on the route.
