Itinerary
Meet your private and expert guide and start a 1 hour thrilling walking tour of the ancient maritime city of Pisa famous for its archictectural beauty. The origin of Pisa is a mistery: probably Etruscan settlement, it was a Roman colony and thanks to its port and the trade development, soon it expanded, becoming one of the most important ancient Italian town. Your guide will be glad to customize your walking tour on your personal preferences and take you on a thorough outdoor walking tour of Piazza dei Miracoli and its monuments.
You will be dazzled by this marvelous square which is dominated by the Cathedral (interior visit with priority access), a model of the distinctive Pisan Romanesque architecture, the celebrated Leaning Tower and the round-shaped Baptistery surrounded by its suggestive columned arcades.
and the round-shaped Baptistery surrounded by its suggestive columned arcades.
After taking the highlights of the city, return to the Leaning Tower where your private guide will leave you and head straight inside using your pre-paid skip-the-line-tickets. Your experience will last 30 minutes: climb the 294 step spiral staircase to the top of 56 meter (183 foot) hight tower, from where the views span the entire city. The weak and unstable subsoil caused this unique phenomenon, contributing to create one of the wonders of the world. You will climb the Leaning Tower on your own without the guide.

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.
