Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
Enjoy a 2.5-hour small-group guided walking tour of the city of Pisa and then climb the Leaning Tower (an additional 30 minutes required - activity lasts 3 hours in total) with guaranteed pre-booked access by skipping the line at the ticket office and entrance to the Cathedral included.
Explore the city's main attractions, but also discover some of the off-the-beaten-path sites frequented by locals.
The itinerary is absolutely easy and the walk is at a slow pace.
This is a unique experience to enjoy this unpretentious university city where you will have the opportunity to learn about the history, monuments but also the daily life of a small and lively medieval Tuscan town. You will see the city from a different perspective: discover hidden alleys, photograph the city from unusual places and, of course, climb the famous Leaning Tower and visit the beautiful Pisa Cathedral.

PISA LOUSY PLACE WITH TOURISTS

- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00It is definitely a place that treats tourists very badly, I would never come back, we took the Bus to tour the city and we paid for my husband and mine with a single Credit card that I pass twice and an inspector placed a fine for Eur42, because I did not pay it with my credit card??? I do not verify what we told you, it was aggressive, super rude, definitely if they will go to visit the city (hopefully they do not spend that money there) on each corner there are inspectors who get on buses and go straight to where the tourists , they looked like vultures really hostile, I never pass elsewhere.
Great tour of Pisa

5.00I absolutely loved this walking tour. David, was incredibly knowledgeable and brought Pisa’s history to life in such a fascinating way. He shared so much insight into why so many of Pisa’s buildings are tilted or sinking, the impact of the war, and how different civilisations shaped the city over time. The stories behind the Leaning Tower were really interesting, from why it was built where it was, how it was built, why it leans, to the modern engineering that’s made it safe to climb today. I was originally planning to visit Pisa on my own and had started researching what to see and do, but nothing I found online came close to the depth of understanding I gained from this tour. I walked away with such a richer appreciation of the city and its history. I’m so glad I joined. It really gave so much more meaning to my visit.

5.00The history of Pisa was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to walk us thru to all the highlights. Skipping the line at the tower was a blessing as the lines were very long. If you go to Pisa, skipping the line is a must!
Thank you David!

5.00We had a fantastic experience on our Leaning Tower of Pisa excursion! Our guide, David Di Giacomo, was absolutely incredible—so knowledgeable and passionate about the history and architecture of Pisa. He made the entire tour engaging and informative from start to finish. We were actually about 15 minutes late to the meetup spot due to unforeseen delays, and David went out of his way to try and wait for us so we could catch up. That level of patience and consideration really meant a lot to us, and we truly appreciated it.
David did an amazing job...
