Discover the timeless magic of Pisa and its world-famous Leaning Tower! No trip to Italy is complete without seeing this iconic landmark — and this half-day tour from Florence makes it easy.

Explore with a professional guide, hear the stories behind Pisa’s medieval wonders, and step inside the magnificent Romanesque Cathedral. Then enjoy free time to wander among the Baptistery, the Monumental Cemetery, and of course, the legendary Leaning Tower.

5.00We did a morning tour of Pisa with Lucia, Val, and Mario. The tour started on time, and was very well organized. Lucia and Val handed us off to our local guide, who gave us a nice overview of the Duomo complex. We also had an interior tour of the cathedral and climbed the tower. Highly recommend the tour.
