Our Guide, (I think her name is Ludi, forgive me if I mispelled) was just excellent! We had a private tour and heard really interesting details about the famous people enterred in Santa Croce (Galileo, Michaelangelo, Machiavelli, Rossini!) the church history, the artwork, and the 1966 flood damage! She answered every question well and thoroughly. Incredible and worthwhile tour, about an hour, it was so great.

The Siena cathedral is so impressive, one could spend hours watching it's details. Headout was very helpful to get tickets, I didn't want to waste time in a long line to get the tickets, it was very easy to find the place to get the physical tickets.

The Audio Guide took a long time and several attempts to download, and friends with us were not able to get it to download at all. The cathedral was really beautiful and very different from any other we have visited! I am very glad we came to see it.

Tickets purchased online. Precise information for on-site validation. No loss of time. Better management than get your guide where we were wandered around Rome to validate our tickets.

A Tuscan marvel

The Siena Cathedral, located in Siena, Tuscany, is a magnificent Duomo that showcases some of the most important aspects of the European artistic and architectural gamut. It has grown in popularity over the years, drawing more than a million visitors each year. Head into one of the finest cathedrals in the whole of Christendom! Uncover treasure chests containing art by Michelangelo, Donatello, Nicola Pisano, and Bernini.

A literary masterpiece

Nestled within the grand Siena Cathedral, the Piccolomini Library is a treasure trove of Renaissance art. Let the stunning frescoes guide your journey through history. Allow your audio guide to be your compass as you learn all about the life of Pope Pius II, depicted by Pinturicchio's frescoes.

Renaissance splendor

Next, visit the Baptistry of San Giovanni, where the splendid Baptismal Font will catch your eye. Wind further down to explore the eerie Crypt, where a grandiose cycle of frescoes dating back to the 13th century will make your acquaintance. At Museo dell'Opera, discover the works of Italian artists, including Duccio di Buoninsegna's Maestà. Wind up your experience by climbing to the terrace atop the unfinished façade of the new cathedral, where you can witness unaltered views of the city and the Tuscan countryside!
