The Duomo of Siena is one of the most beautiful cathedrals I've ever seen, and I've seen a number. The Library is also exquisite, and must not be missed. That being said, I wish there was a way to download the audio guide ahead of time—maybe you can send the link when the tour is paid for? That's because the internet in the area was spotty, and I was unable to download the file AT ALL. It's just a good thing the destination was breathtaking, but I missed out on a lot of great information.

While standing in line, I tried to purchase the entrance tickets online and succeeded!!! I happy since I am over sixty years old and "skipped the line," but what amazed me most of all, to see a lot of young people waiting uselessly....

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.
