Siena suggestions for tourbook updates

Have very high regard for Rick and guidebooks.

Therefore, these should be considered constructive suggestions rather than rants.

In Siena, there now seem to be taxis readily available around the town. Two taxi stands are filled with waiting cabs. Hotel Alto Domus called for cab, and it arrived in less than 3 minutes. If you are dragging a couple of bags, just grab a cab from station. Save perspiration and irritation.

Hotel Alto Domus appears on wrong street in the Florence and Tuscany guidebook map which made arrival even more frustrating.

Warning! There are random strikes being called by the various rail unions. These may be only half day strikes, but that still means that all trains during that peak time period are cancelled! Chaos.
