Excellent Value & Small Group - Small group tours are the only way to go. Well informed and easy to navigate through the lines. David was a great guide and we got straight in to climb the tower with no waiting. Meeting at the train station, it was easy and cheap to catch the train from Firenze SM to Pisa Centrale.

Wonderful day in Pisa - Our guide was amazing!! He gave us 3000 years of history in 3.5 hours. So friendly and so fun. We walked all over Pisa learning so many wonderful things and ended at the Piazza del Duomo. The Cattedrale di Pisa is breathtaking. Climbing the bell tower was incredible. We got to go to the very top! All 296 steps. This was our favorite day in Italy.

Insightful tour of Pisa and the tower/ cathedral. - David was a fantastic tour guide. Well versed on the history of Pisa and the architecture and history of the city. We toured the town for ~1-2 hours before reaching the cathedral and tower complex of Pisa which is a must see while you are in the area.
