A fantastic foodie tour!! - Myself and my teenage daughter had a fabulous tour with our guide Antonella. We learnt a lot about the history of Pisa and the interesting monuments. We had our coffee and locally produced cake in a great little Pasticceria, then we walked around Pisa learning about piazzas and buildings, and I was able to practise my Italian at the local markets. Antonella made it really good fun and also recommended other things to do like visiting Lucca which we did and loved it. Thanks for a fantastic tour!

So much more to Pisa than the Leaning Tower. - We met our guide on time and at an easy to find location. She was charming and very knowledgeable. Her ability to discuss all aspects of Tuscany and the history she provided was fascinating. She was not rushed and customized the tour to accommodate our interests.

Pisa experiance - My guide for this tour was Antonia. She was very knowledgeable in not only in Pisa but the whole of the Tuscan region. I got held up and was running a little late, it was easy for me to contact the organiser and the group waited for me. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Great tour with a local guide - We had a wonderful tour with Antonella! The tower is amazing to see, of course, but there is so much more to Pisa that she shared with us. We also really enjoyed the food along the way. Thanks for a great morning!

Enjoyable walking tour through Pisa were we learned about the history of the area and tasted some local foods. - We had a walking tour around Pisa starting around the leaning tower. Our guide was local and knowledgeable about the tower and the region. We stopped for a coffee and local snack then walked into town. We finished up with a sandwich with local fillings and a glass of wine. I typically like these types of tours because you get local knowledge and stories that add to your experience of visiting. In particular we are glad that we did it in Pisa because we saw how much more there is to the town than just the tower. The amount of food was sufficient, the only improvement would have been that for the coffee stop that there would have been a couple of selections of biscuits.
