Not Another Siena Walking Tour! 🇮🇹 Exploring Italy's Medieval Tuscan Gem!
Today, our errand day somehow turns into a Siena City Walking Tour as we explore Italy's Medieval Tuscan Gem! 😍🇮🇹 Matteo was WAY too excited to not give you some fun facts about this fascinating city and its deep-rooted ties to its 17 districts, along with its relationship to the Palio di Siena - the most INSANE horse race in Italy! 🐎 We get lost in the labyrinth of streets, stumbling across the most stunning views over the city and its quickly changing landscape on a gorgeous autumn day! 🍁 🍃🍂

    First of all, America, being the greatest country in the world why should we take advice from any other country? There's nothing wrong with being unique or first, and if you need your money color coded like "Monopoly Money" to tell the difference between a one and a $100 bill...Maybe you're not as smart as you think you are.

    Just left Caffe Santa Zita. And though the patio was closed for dining we were able to walk out there. We sat inside near the doors leading to the patio. Not crowded, so it felt like a private meal. The 40 euro brunch is big enough for 2, and they split everything in half without asking. Excellent food and service Thanks for the recommendation!!

    Be careful from whom you purchase tickets online. My husband and I were sent by email vouchers "with old information and wrong" meeting point with our guide. The operator and guide later admitted this, but operator refused to place us in a group another day, said, unfortunately our vouchers expired. The operator is "My tour", or at least that's how they identified themselves.

    I'm a TV/film actor and I can not tell you how many times I had a swab shoved up my nose (and one time I had to produce a major amount of spit into tube). I'm sure healthcare had it worse, but we were literally tested before arriving, then on set daily. Most were gentle, but some I swear were digging from brain matter, and I would end up with a headache.
