CoupleVerified bookingJul 20255/5We got the combo ticket to visit the Duomo and the Palazzo. You could skip the line for the ticket office which was neat and the attractions speak for themselves. One of if not the most beautiful and ornate church I've ever visited.MMs Harveen G
GroupVerified bookingAug 20253/5Total experience ruined by poor audio guide. Tricky to download and use. Found this also at other Siena tourist locations. The venue was beautiful but I did not find out any of the details around art and history. And - this is so EASY to sort out. Look at other visitor venues.GGianluca B
