4.00The information was interesting and our tour guide Amanda was knowledgeable but the tour itself could have been scheduled for longer to allow time for questions and a little more information. Unfortunately, due to incorrect meeting point address given to half the group we were slow in getting started (tour guide did contact us and waited as error was in the directions) so that cut 15 minutes from our tour. In summary, Amanda was pleasant and knew a lot, but the event as a whole seemed a little rushed.
Our first visit to Pisa
