A fantastic way to get to know Pisa! - My sister and I were the only ones booked on the tour so we had the wonderful Antonella to ourselves! She was FANTASTIC! So knowledgeable about Pisa, its history, the monuments, the culture. We learned so much! We met near the Piazza dei Miracoli and learned about the main monuments before going to a delightful cafe for breakfast - the most delicious coffee and typical pastry. We then continued our tour, ending near the river where we had a traditional sandwich and a gorgeous large glass of wine! Antonella was also kind enough to give us lots of fantastic recommendations for our stay - the best restaurants, ice cream shops and cafes. I would highly recommend this tour. It is not cheap compared with some, but I felt it was good value for money and a morning really well spent!

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.

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.
