In Piazza Duomo stands the imposing Cathedral of Siena and right here you will begin the visit. After an introduction about the extraordinary façade decorated with statues depicting philosophers, prophets and sibyls that seem to talk to each other, your guide will tell you the story of why the Cathedral was unfortunately left unfinished.The visit continues inside, where you will have the opportunity to admire the inlaid marble mosaic floor, the wonderful statues of Michelangelo, the Chapel of St. John the Baptist that houses a work realized by Donatello, the Chigi Chapel of Bernini, frescoes and paintings. The visit inside the beautiful Piccolomini Library is an unique experience. The frescoes realized by Pinturicchio and Raffaello depict scenes of the life of Enea Silvio Piccolomini who became Pope Pius II.
During the period when the floor has been uncovered, the guide will also show and explain you some of the panels under the dome designed by the Sienese artist Domenico Beccafumi.

The Cathedral is stunning and our guide was so knowledgeable and informative. A great couple of hours and so much better with a personal guide. Very good!

Our guide, Shaklo was really knowledgeable, funny and nice! I did not expect much besides learning about the cathedral, but she walked us around the town too. We learned a lot about Siena and the people in Siena!

This was an amazing tour and yet, exhausting as well. We really enjoyed our tour guide and his heart for history and the city. He was an excellent tour guide and really enjoyed the journey. Lots of walking for sure on this one and note: walking to the top of this one is intense but, worth it for sure.
