Palio: Tours & Experiences

Have you ever been to Palio?

Twice a year, a shell-shaped piazza in the centre of Siena becomes the setting for one of Italy’s most thrilling events: Il Palio. This quick-as-a-flash horse race is a battle between the districts of the city, and thousands of locals and visitors pour into the Piazza del Campo each year to watch the spectacle unfold. It’s a quintessentially Italian event, with excitement, grandeur and plenty of passion from all sides.

What is the Palio di Siena?
The Palio is a bareback horse race which follows a course around the edges of Siena’s medieval Piazza del Campo. Ten horses take part, representing 10 of Siena’s 17 contrade (districts). Each contrada has its own emblem and colours, which you’ll see plastered across the flags and banners that decorate the city in the days leading up to the race.

What People Are Saying

★★★★★
"This was wonderful. The team was on time and had the materials. Our guide was great and very aware of our safety! He helped us in and out of the kayaks in the waves. Would recommend ! We even got to go in some small caves. "
★★★★★
"I recently completed a vintage car tour in Porto. The driver was charming and the experience was enjoyed by all. However, I do have a bit of a problem with the booking company, Experitour. After I made the booking online, nobody ever reached out to me to confirm the upcoming event. Usually, a day or two before such a tour, somebody will send an e-mail stating that the tour is going to occur soon and to review the meeting place and time. I would expect Experitour to do that since they were the company that received my online booking information. When I eventually contacted the Vintage Car Tour company, they initially had no record of my reservation. They were eventually able to find it, but I had to remind them that I went through Experitour. Not sure whose fault that was. These are minor details, but they prevent me from providing a 5-star review."

"Received fantastic service from experitour, always in contact with me. Unfortunately the tour was cancelled because of the Babet and Alina storms. Not their fault. Will certainly be rebooking with them next year hopefully will see the famous flamingoes. "

"I would like to get refund for the tickets €240 of this boat tour on 30/09/2023 due to the bad weather condition and the tour had been cancelled by your company/Sea Adventure. I have sent the email to experitour.com few days ago but get no response so far. Looking forward to hearing from experitour soonest. "
