  • 5Great visit and awesome guide

    The tour was great, Christina was awesome. She delivered a lot of historic detail in a contemporary style, which made it fun and easy to consume. The square and the cathedral interior is amazing, so glad we visited, and the tour gave great context. 5 out of 5

  • 5Leaning Tower and Beyond!

    Great tour of the Square of Miracles! Enjoyed the basilica and of course, the leaning tower. Learning about the architecture and history was interesting.

  • 1Disappointed

    Was late due to accident. No calls from operator. When we finally managed to speak to a person they were unable to rebook us within our schedule & we were told no form of refund available. Had to buy additional tickets from another provider so we could at least visit the museum & statue of David. Not happy Jan

  • 3We did 90 minute tour...

    We did 90 minute tour which was about right as all the sights very close to each other - then we left the guide to go up the tower. We did struggle a little with the guide as her accent/delivery resulted in the words being received in a continual rising & falling way which was distracting & sometimes difficult to follow.

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).
