Palio days and the Val d'Orcia route
Siena's Palio horse race runs on 2 July and 16 August, when the centre closes to traffic and hotels fill early — book the transfer at the same time as your room. Outside those dates, the scenic Val d'Orcia route adds roughly an hour to 90 minutes and is usually worth it.
Which vehicle?
We match the vehicle to your group and luggage: a sedan for up to 3 passengers, a van for up to 7, a minibus for larger groups. Tell us how many large suitcases you have and we will size it properly.
