5A must do in Pisa
Andrea, our guide, was outstanding, providing a fun and informative experience. Her passion for Pisa's history, landmarks, and cuisine was clear. We were able to explore the leaning tower at our own pace, and Andrea gave us plenty of time to indulge in the local food and drink at each stop. The culinary experience was a highlight of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour.
5Other than heat that we...
Other than heat that we loved it American that just couldn’t take the heat. Food was awesome to try I would recommend cooler choices in the heat
5Great Choice!
Our guide was absolutely amazing. She was funny and she had a lot of good information. She kept us in the shade and was able to get us into good vantage points for pictures. Two thumbs up!!
5Great Pisa tour!!
Our tour was amazing! Alessia (I hope I spelled this correctly) was excellent! She showed us everything and gave us a detailed history with added humor. She answered all questions and had a lot of energy. The entire group enjoyed it.
2Poor experience
Poor quality tour Started late Team surely knew cathedral was closed for tourists for few hours (mass in the church), should have rescheduled the timing but guide decided to make the group stand outside in wind & rain chatting away. Had to visit inside of cathedral separately on our own Very poor organisation
5Small groups are better to maintain teenagers engage!
The tour was friendly and amazing. She was very passionate about the history and art which made it all the better. This tour takes you into the lessor travelled neighborhood around the leaning tower as well as the historical sites in the field of miracles. Highly recommend specially for teenagers because is meant to be for small groups. We were very fortune ant it was only the tour guide and us, in addition she was so knowledgeable that was able to answered all our questions and kept the teenagers engaged and interested.

About Pisa
Pisa is a Tuscan city on the Arno, famous for its Leaning Tower and for the white marble cathedral, baptistery and cemetery that stand around it.
In the Piazza dei Miracoli, a broad lawn at the north end of the old town, four white marble buildings stand together: the cathedral, the baptistery, the cemetery known as the Camposanto and the Leaning Tower, which is the cathedral's bell tower. Building began in 1173, and the tower started to lean before it was finished because it stands on soft ground. Engineers stabilised it at the end of the 20th century.
Top-ranked sights in Pisa: Leaning Tower of Pisa, Piazza dei Miracoli, Pisa Cathedral (Duomo).
