Overview

Exploring Siena with kids has never been so much fun!

Your kid-friendly guide will introduce your family to Saint Catherine of Siena—one of Italy’s most important saints—with tales that spark imagination and curiosity. Then, make your way through the city’s narrow streets toward Piazza del Campo, where the legendary Palio horse race takes place, and your guide will share the thrilling traditions, pageantry, and playful rivalries.

Nearby, you’ll discover Fontebranda, one of the oldest fountains in the city, and you’ll pause outside the Torre del Mangia. Even without climbing it, this tall bell tower inspires awe—and laughter—when kids learn the funny origin of its name.

The tour concludes with a visit inside the magnificent Siena Cathedral. Its bold black-and-white marble stripes, intricate floors, and awe-inspiring sculptures are the perfect finale to your family’s journey.

This family-friendly tour is a wonderful way to experience Siena’s beauty, history, and legends together.
