Additional Information

Discover Pisa beyond its infamous Leaning Tower. Join us on a 2-hour small group guided stroll around the city, taking in not just the main attractions but also the lesser-known sites favoured by locals. This tour will acquaint you with the authentic Pisa, extending beyond the famous Leaning Tower.

The tour takes place on flat terrain, making it possible for most individuals to participate and the walking at a relaxed pace. This is a remarkable opportunity to appreciate this modest university town where you’ll have the chance to learn about both its history and its monuments, as well as the daily life of a vibrant, Medieval Tuscan city. You’ll gain a fresh perspective of the city: uncover hidden alleyways, capture photos from unique spots, and, of course, tour the Leaning Tower and other renowned monuments.

Great tour...Brilliant guide. - Took this tour this morning (my last day) & so regret not doing it my 1st day. The guide David made the city & it's history explode into life for me. For example, on my return train from Firenze earlier in the week, I wondered why there were so many beautiful hilltop towns in the region. He answered it en passante in his narrative. As happy to answer questions as he is comfortable describing the town, it's history & it's culture, he displays a depth & personality that makes for an enjoyable & informative tour.

Best walk around ever! - What a great way to see the city!! And stretch your legs!! We saw things that we would not have seen. Our guide was stuck in traffic so we got someone else and I think we got the better end of the deal, she was terrific!! She made it so worth the tour!!!
