Siena One of Tuscany’s most famous and historic cities, Siena is known for its beautiful medieval streets, the stunning Siena Cathedral, and the famous Piazza del Campo. It’s a wonderful place to wander, explore local shops, and enjoy authentic Tuscan restaurants.
Eating Europe Food Tours
If you enjoy exploring cities through food, Eating Europe offers fantastic guided food tours throughout Italy and several cities across Europe. Their tours combine local history, neighborhood walks, and opportunities to taste authentic regional dishes. We’ve personally taken one of their tours and loved it each time. In Rome, we did the Twilight Trastevere Food Tour with our guide Giuseppe, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. If you’re spending time in cities like Rome, Florence, or other parts of Europe during your travels, this is a fun and memorable way to explore the local food scene.
