Highlights
- Piazza dei Miracoli - Meet your private and expert guide and embark on a thrilling 1-hour walking tour of the ancient maritime city of Pisa, renowned for its architectural splendor. The origins of Pisa are shrouded in mystery: likely an Etruscan settlement, it became a Roman colony and flourished due to its port and trade, soon becoming one of the most significant ancient Italian towns. Your guide will be delighted to tailor your walking tour to your personal preferences and lead you on an extensive outdoor exploration of Piazza dei Miracoli and its monuments.
- Duomo di Pisa - Be captivated by this stunning square, dominated by the Cathedral (interior visit with priority access), a prime example of distinctive Pisan Romanesque architecture, the famous Leaning Tower, and the round-shaped Baptistery, all surrounded by evocative columned arcades.
- Battistero di San Giovanni - Marvel at the round-shaped Baptistery, encircled by its charming columned arcades.
- Leaning Tower of Pisa - After taking in the city’s highlights, return to the Leaning Tower where your private guide will leave you to explore on your own with pre-paid skip-the-line tickets. Your experience will last 30 minutes: ascend the 294-step spiral staircase to the top of the 56-meter (183-foot) high tower, offering panoramic views of the entire city. The weak and unstable subsoil caused this unique phenomenon, creating one of the wonders of the world.
You will climb the Leaning Tower on your own without the guide.

Great experience - Great experience. Didn’t realize there were more buildings on the property, other than the leaning tower. The history is very fascinating. There are lots of great restaurants right up the street that are lovely.

Once in a lifetime experience - It was hard to download actual tickets and barcode since we were on a cruise and had poor phone service. Luckily, our guide was there with my name waiting for us! She was great!

Too expensive for such a short private tour - First of all, our guide was great and she answered every question and the skip the line to climb the tower was fantastic. My husband tipped her well. However, having said that, our private tour was only 50 minutes and cost almost $300 dollars. Not worth the investment- would instead recommend small group tour and/or just skip the line tickets to climb the tower. So way too expensive for the value received.

Disaster from beginning till end. - It was a disaster from beginning to end. Sylvia was a bit late but the directions om Viator were wrong which meant I had to go back and forth 3 times before I found her. Thereafter, she was disinterested in the tour. We were running late and spent barely 30 min with her.
