An excellent private tour guide
Guide in Siena的点评
点评：Viviana Girola gave our family a private 1/2 day of Siena (I think she only gives private tours). She was accommodating and professional from beginning to end and we greatly enjoyed and appreciated our tour. I highly recommend her.
She helped in our trip planning. I originally thought the best way to get to Siena from Florence was by train but Viviana pointed out that would result in a longer travel time than by bus and the train station was a distance from the walled city. She gave us a link to get the bus schedules and met us at the bus stop.
We asked Viviana to orient our tour to the aspects of Siena that made it special and to showcase some of her favorite places. She walked us through a grocery store and summarized the wines of the Tuscan region as well as the different grades of quality for each area. She walked us through the meat counter and then the cheese and pasta areas. We liked the store so much that we went back after the tour and bought salami and cheese for a later snack.
I was surprised that Siena had commercialized so much since we last visited. It seems every big brand retail name had a store in one section of town. We didn't spend any time in them but she gave us a history of the banking prowess of the town in its earlier days. Many of the bank buildings survive among the retail stores.
We liked the detailed history she gave of the districts within the town. If you are baptized in a district, you're a member of that district for life. Even if you marry someone from another district or move away. As we walked through one of the districts, she pointed out the public art work that displayed that district's distinctive emblem (in this case a rhinoceros with tree).
Our tour ended a the Piazza del Campo where the Palio is run. Everyone knows about the Palio but she showed us a video of one year's race in which the rider fell off his horse, but the horse finished first. It's not the rider that wins each race. It's the horse!
As we parted, we asked her for a restaurant recommendation for lunch. She gave us one name but said it was mostly patronized by visitors. The other was called Finestra which was nearby on a side street off the Piazza del Campo. We tried it and were very pleased. It had a large menu. We ordered appetizers, pastas, main courses and dessert and were pleased with all of our choices. The waiter spoke English well and it wasn't expensive.
Everyone in the family felt she had given us a very personalized and relevant tour.

翻译：Viviana Girola 为我们一家人提供了锡耶纳的私人 1/2 天（我认为她只提供私人旅游）。她从始至终都很热情和专业，我们非常享受和赞赏我们的旅行。我强烈推荐她。
她帮助我们计划旅行。我原本以为从佛罗伦萨到达锡耶纳的最佳方式是乘坐火车，但维维安娜指出，这会导致比乘坐公共汽车更长的旅行时间，而且火车站距离城墙很远。她给了我们一个获取巴士时刻表的链接，并在巴士站接了我们。
我们请 Viviana 将我们的旅行定位于锡耶纳的独特之处，并展示她最喜欢的一些地方。她带我们穿过一家杂货店，总结了托斯卡纳地区的葡萄酒以及每个地区的不同质量等级。她带我们穿过肉类柜台，然后是奶酪和面食区。我们非常喜欢这家商店，所以游览结束后我们又回去买了萨拉米香肠和奶酪作为稍后的零食。
自从我们上次访问以来，锡耶纳的商业化程度如此之高，令我感到惊讶。似乎每个大品牌零售品牌都在城镇的某个区域设有一家商店。我们没有在里面花任何时间，但她向我们介绍了该镇早期银行业实力的历史。许多银行大楼在零售商店中幸存下来。
我们喜欢她讲述的镇内各地区的详细历史。如果您在某个地区受洗，那么您将终身成为该地区的成员。即使您与来自其他地区的人结婚或搬走。当我们走过其中一个地区时，她指出展示该地区独特标志的公共艺术作品（在本例中是一头有树的犀牛）。
我们的旅行在坎波广场结束，那里是赛马节的举办地。每个人都知道赛马节，但她向我们展示了一段一年比赛的视频，其中骑手从马上摔下来，但马匹获得了第一名。赢得每场比赛的并不是骑手。是马！
分手时，我们请她推荐午餐餐厅。她给了我们一个名字，但说它主要是游客光顾的。另一个叫 Finestra，位于田野广场附近的一条小街上。我们尝试了一下，非常高兴。它有一个很大的菜单。我们点了开胃菜、意大利面、主菜和甜点，对我们所有的选择都很满意。服务员英语说得很好，而且价格也不贵。
家里的每个人都觉得她给我们带来了一次非常个性化且相关的旅行。
