Super positive experience. I picked up my tickets at the infopoint near Piazza del Campo, all very quick and clear. Once we got to the Duomo they let us in directly from the fast lane, which I didn't know was included, and we skipped the whole line. The Duomo is really spectacular, with the inlaid floors and the Piccolomini Library that looks like a little Renaissance treasure chest. The audio guide explains every detail well and makes the visit even more interesting. Perfect organization, highly recommended.
