Loved every minute and visited 6 times but the daily problem was there was no specific entry point for annual pass holders. This meant either joining the group Q or main Q or asking any member of staff in the vicinity . Some were very helpful but telling us to go in any door meant meant clearly going to the head of any Q which is rather uncomfortable to do when you have to go in front of people who naturally have been wiring some time,. If there was a clear point of entry for pass holders this would alleviate the problem. I intend to return in the near future so would be pleased to hear from you what my improvements you have made. I look forward to hearing from you.

Easy and fast online purchase when the lines at the ticket office were really long. You pick up the tickets at a guest center close to the main square in Siena. Tickets worked everywhere as expected. Audioguide was one of the best in our 14 day Italy trip. Clear, factual, well laid out. The Complex is remarkable and shouldn't be missed. Don't skip the library inside the cathedral. Allow time for a line from the top floor of the museum to the bell tower. The views are worth it.

The cathedral, the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, and the basilica are impressive and definitely worth seeing. What bothered me, however, was that the admission tickets cost €23 each plus a 20 percent processing fee—the printed price was €18 without fees. Therefore, I cannot recommend Headout.

Skip-the-line entry, so it was super convenient. The system where you receive a code for the audio guide is also very handy, allowing you to connect your phone to any type of headphones and follow the route in the best way possible.

We were so fortunate to see the Cathedral floor uncovered. The church is beautiful but the floor drawings were incredible. The whole complex is interesting and worthwhile to visit.

It has been my lifelong dream since high school to stand inside Siena Cathedral: Stendhal syndrome hit me full force! The floor mosaics are so expressive. The rediscovered frescoes in the crypt too: people could already paint optimistic crucifixion scenes back in the 13th century! Far more beautiful than St. Peter's Basilica to me, and much quieter! Deducting 1 star because booking online was mega-complicated. You receive a confirmation email, but that isn't enough. To download the actual ticket you need an app, but it wouldn't install. I had to request a link through the help center first. Then you still have to exchange the ticket for a real paper ticket at the visitor center. My tip: just walk into the visitor center on the piazza in person (not the ticket office with the long line). You'll get straightforward, multilingual assistance there. Unfortunately, I've been spammed with ads ever since the online purchase.
