4.00Be aware that once you leave the train station, it is an hour drive to the city of Pisa from Florence! I didn’t go into the tour but I did do the guided tour and it was very informative!
Well worth the excursion!

5.00Frederica our tour guide was fantastic, she is excellent at being multilingual and made visiting Pisa very easy. She was always happy to chat further and answer further questions we had about where we were visiting. Instructions of when and where to meet back after getting off the coach were very clear and the journey to and from Pisa was seamless thanks to the coach driver and how easy to was to find the tour organisers. Pisa itself is very touristy but good for a short visit like this tour provides. Only downside was the next available time slot to be able to go up into the tower was the same time we were supposed to meet back up and leave so we could only see it from the outside in the end. Still got to have plenty of time to wander, get plenty of photos and see the rest of the city. Worth the excursion!
Clear communication, lively, easy and enjoyable tour

5.00Pisa was a great photo-op with the Leaning Tower. San Gimignano was an excellent setting for wine tasting, lunch, and medieval history. Siena was amazing as you walk around in the medieval historic center. Aaron was a great guide and the bus driver was excellent.
Magnificent excursion, in one day see many places
