Summary: 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour which taught us about wine and food of Siena. Our guide, Georgina, was friendly and informative in a comfortable way while we sampled wines and food before a walk around the neighborhood. We enjoyed some street food and finished with a cafe and some pastries. It was a perfect 2 hours!
