It was a great experience to see 2 important sites and see the town on a walk between both. Our guide was fantastic, pointing out interesting and engaging facts about both the Well and Duomo including the art inside and the town of Orvieto - highly recommend. One thing to note is you have to pay separately to access the Well and the Duomo and sometimes the ticket offices only take cash (euros) or make sure you get tickets online a few days before the tours. Still well worth it.
