Excellent tour guide - Tour guide was excellent. Website annoying as kept letting me book other excursions that weren’t available, or the pick up point was wrong!

Really well worth - We have an excellent tourist guide who provides a very clear introduction. This bus trip is a good choice if you visit Pisa only in one day. A small shuttle with six clients and a tourist guide and driver enables us to have a more friendly experience. Visiting the mural of Keith Haring and other landmark buildings is quite impressive. Anyway, my wife and I really enjoyed and considered this well worth.

Highly recommend! - Great experience! Very friendly team drove us around and shared with us their love for the city. We selected the 18:30 slot which was lovely. It wasn't too hot so it made the ride even more enjoyable. We finished our day at a pizzeria (Pomodoro & Mozzarella) that they recommend which was great. I highly recommend this activity. Thank you so much!

Eventful, insightful, and worth our time - Alloisa and Ehsan were extremely knowledgeable and accommodating during our tour. Their positive vibe made our tour truly enjoyable. There is no way to get the info and sites we went to in such a short time. My elderly mom appreciated it most since she didn’t even have to walk. Thank you so very much.
