Being in Siena makes me feel like a time traveler in ancient times, really love this city, and Italy is really a lovely and charming country.

My sister, an artist, and I were supposed to go to Italy, then into Austria and Germany, this past May, 2020. We had planned the trip for 2 years. Sigh. Thank you, Rick Steves- I now come home from a busy day at my front-line job, brew myself a hot cuppa and sit and "travel" with you.

Your travel series in Italy is a gem for me during this quarantine period! Love Italy!!! Can' wait for the borders to open!!! All the wine, the food, the romantic cobblestone streets!!! Thank you!!!

I’m Scottish, from Glasgow, and I live in Siena. Everything that he said is correct, no exaggeration. The city is stunning- you have to experience it to really feel the historic ambiance and beauty. The food that you see in the video is what we eat every day, without exception. Poor quality wine doesn’t exist, and vino is available from 3 euros per bottle (and upwards). Oh, and the women are beautiful angels- I married one....

Isn't that interesting that a horse with NO jokey came in third? I love love Rick's video tours, we watch them as a family and dream big of our own adventures! Keep on traveling, Rick!!!!!

Siena is a joy! I went there for three summers as a participant of a music festival and lived there for one year. It totally changes character when the summer tourists leave, but still it is so beautiful. A glorious place!
-
This my favorite travel show. Don't stop traveling, Rick.

I'm an Italian, I'm a great explorer and a tourist. I do not follow routes for tourists but the real life of the places. I congratulate you on siena and Tuscany as they really are. I travel all over Europe but at the end the most beautiful place in the world is at home ... true Italy.

Watching and listening to Rick Steves never gets old. Like Bob Ross, I live happily through them. Thank you for your knowledge, humor, and love for sharing travels.

Im a big Rick Steves fan. I love his presentations. Its done with elegance and sophistication. He truly knows his stuff. This video is my personal favorite and I’ve watched it several times and adore it. I’d love to discover Tuscany’s beauty for myself

I've been to Rome, but Tuscany is my most desired place to go. As if a sting is pulling on my heart. I love the way Rick shows this wonderful place.
-
I love Rick's videos as his enthusiasm and love of the places and people always shines through!
-
Once again, another great show. Rick proves that entertainment and education are not mutually exclusive.

Sienna is the first place in Europe I visited when I was a teenager. It holds a very special place in my heart. We were there about a week before the Palio so we got to see the neighborhoods doing parades in the evenings. Not one big parade, but small groups going around in their costumes, playing music at night. The sand was being packed on the racetrack, the barriers and bleachers were setup. It was fun to see the town starting to bubble with excitement about the race.

Can't get enough of Rick Steves!
-
What a lovely country and a wonderful video to presents it, I could almost feel the warmth of Tuscany and inspired by Italy's rich culture and traditions. Wish I have the time and money to experience it with my family first-hand!
-
This really sets me in the mood for my visit to Italy in 2 months. I have been brushing up my Italian and this video highlights the beauty of Tuscan architecture, art, food and wine. Our home in Silicon Valley California is modeled after an Italian Villa - Villa Medici - so it is essential that we stay closely in touch with Italy to give our home even more authentic features. Thanks Rick.
