What people are saying about Siena

We liked the experience itself. Unfortunately, the tickets have to be picked up at the ticket shop, so there is no need to wait in line! Then the tickets purchased here have a price of €21.00 and the tickets we then got at the ticket shop had a value of €17.00. €4.00 fee for nothing.
