Pisa tour - Guide was great. Did a fantastic job explaining the history of Pisa and surrounding areas. Pisa tower history was also interesting and well worthwhile as opposed to just going up the tower on your own with no background. One of the highlights of our tour of Europe

Best thing you’ll do in Pisa - It was brilliant, walked from the train station through Pisa and was given knowledge at every step.
Such a gorgeous place and with more history than I knew it had.
Skipped the line for the leaning tower and went straight up to see the view.
Amazing tour.

Excellent Pisas Overview Tour - We had a lovely half day in Pisa - Pisa is more than just the tower. Thanks to our guide, we received an excellent brief history of Pisa, the highlights, the 4 neighborhoods, and then the tour through the Duomo and tower. It was everything I was looking forward to for the day.

Great tour and overview of Pisa, leaning tower. - We ended up booking this day trip on a whim the day before as Pisa was close by train to where we were staying in the cinque terre. It ended up being one of the better tours we had on our trip to Italy. David did a great job explaining the history of the city and its significance throughout time and the tour was not just focused on the leaning tower and cathedral which was at the end of the tour. The other people in our party ended up not booking the optional leaning tower and cathedral portion and as a result, we ended up with a private tour of both which was great. Highly recommend if you are in or nearby Pisa
