High Expectations but didn’t measure up!!

3.00Make sure you bring your walking shoes because from the bus to the Pisa monument. it felt very long and probably was about a half a mile. I thought that was a little bit too much. The overall experience in Pisa a bit disappointing. The Luca tour was also disappointing and didn’t feel the guide did a very good job. It was also very distracting that he needed to go from English to French in our group for a couple of people, Just didn’t flow nicely. Also no explanation of the cake we tasted??

5.00A little crazy finding the pickup point, but we made it. Overall, a very nice trip. It took all the hassle out of trying to get there on our own, plus we got a guided tour around Pisa and Lucca.
Ok

3.00Long day. I enjoyed the Pisa part of the day. Our local Pisa tour guide was great. Just enough time in Pisa. Lucca, which was the part I was looking forward to most, was ok. It was simply a walking tour of the town. The buccaleta cake was literally handed to you outside the shop to eat on the sidewalk so don’t think you are sitting down. Local Lucca tour guide was good. I didn’t think our Ciao Florence guide that accompanied us the day on the bus was very good. She thought it was ok to talk on her phone while I was waiting to ask her a question. I also didn’t like that they combined two different language groups on the same bus.
