We spent the entire day with Costanza, first visiting Pienza and later visiting Montepulciano. It was fantastic. We met her last year in Siena and were very much looking forward to this day. She does such a great job of weaving the interesting facts of the history with the lives of the people both then and now. Just fantastic. My... More

We were 3 boys/men from Norway visiting Toscana in September 2012. We hired Constanza for a walkingtrip in Siena. That was a scoop - quite an experience. Constanza is a very skillful guide and we learned to know much more from the history and from the town that we could imagine. Constanza took us to places that is not mentioned... More

Costanza is fantastic. She was born and raised in Sienna. Her stories of the history and the Palio clans made the experience really outstanding. We spent five hours with her and it was a highlight of our entire two week visit to Italy It was like talking to an old friend. We loved her. Vince and Bret

My wife and I came to visit our daughter who is studying in Rome. I had never been to Siena before and wanted to visit the Cathedral. We have had good luck in the past with hiring local guides, so I jumped on Trip Advisor and we are so fortunate to have found Siena Walking Tours and Costanza Riccardi. In... More

Our family of four adults thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Siena and the pleasing company of such a fine person with a vast knowledge and a personal love for her home city. Costanza is a highlight of our Italian trip. She was a wealth of information and all of us came away with a great history lesson. We hope,... More

I've just got back from Siena where one reason for the visit was to find out more about one of the "Contrade" (districts) - La Civetta, the Owl Contrade. I booked an afternoon tour with Costanza Riccardi and it truly was the highlight of my stay. Costanza was not only very knowledgeable - well, she wouldn't be a registered Siena... More

This will be a strange review since we did not actually get to take a tour with Costanza. She was booked for the afternoon that we will be in Siena but wanted to know how she could help. Costanza was so helpful in finding us another guide for that day and even suggested great restaurants for lunch before our tour.... More

Costanza Riccardi was a wonderful, knowledgable guide full of enthusiasm for her native city, Siena -- she captured the imaginations of a party of 10 ranging in age from 12 to 72! Holding the attention of such a diverse group was no easy task, but she led us through the undiscovered areas of Siena and made it so exciting and... More

My husband and I were in Siena only for a short time and we were very fortunate to book a tour with Costanza. We saw and learned so much with her on our evening walking tour. We covered a lot of ground in about 4 hours. She is very knowledgeable, personable, and professional. We enjoyed our time with her.
