3.00While our tour guide was knowledgeable, the tour was both in English and Italian. This was disappointing and feel like only got value for half the time I paid for. Could not ask questions and our guide seemed to favor speaking more with the Italians in the group. At the end, felt disappointed. When I signed up for the tour, there was nothing said that it was to be in multiple languages.
Incredible basilica with a super tour guide. Oh and there's a leaning tower too.

5.00Of course, we all have to see the Tower - but in my opinion the Basilica steals the show. Absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Our guide Eloise successfully navigated our small group through the mobs getting their shots holding up the tower, while giving us a lot of great information. She was very kind and incredibly knowledgeable. If you're going to visit Pisa, I think you will be disappointed in your visit if you don't invest in a guided tour, a great guide like Eloise adds so much to the experience.

5.00Very informative and interesting. Great photo opportunities. Surprisingly climbing down the tower was more frightening than going up.

5.00Great tour of the Piazza with a climb of the tower after the tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and even took some great pics for us. She knew the spots to avoid the crowds and kept us in the shade. It included tickets to explore the cathedral after the climb.
Highly recommend this tour and this guide. Saw everything we wanted to see and learned everything we wanted to learn
