Highlights
- Piazza dei Miracoli - Meet your private and expert guide and start a 2 hour thrilling walking tour of the ancient maritime city of Pisa famous for its archictectural beauty. The origin of Pisa is a mistery: probably Etruscan settlement, it was a Roman colony and thanks to its port and the trade development, soon it expanded, becoming one of the most important ancient Italian town. Your guide will be glad to customize your 2-hour walking tour on your personal preferences and take you on a thorough outdoor walking tour of Piazza dei Miracoli and its monuments.
- Duomo di Pisa - You will be dazzled by this marvelous square which is dominated by the Cathedral (interior visit with priority access), a model of the distinctive Pisan Romanesque architecture, the celebrated Leaning Tower and the round-shaped Baptistery surrounded by its suggestive columned arcades.
- Battistero di San Giovanni - and the round-shaped Baptistery surrounded by its suggestive columned arcades.
- Leaning Tower of Pisa - After taking the highlights of the city, return to the Leaning Tower where your private guide will leave you and head straight inside using your pre-paid skip-the-line-tickets. Your experience will last 30 minutes: climb the 294 step spiral staircase to the top of 56 meter (183 foot) hight tower, from where the views span the entire city. The weak and unstable subsoil caused this unique phenomenon, contributing to create one of the wonders of the world.
You will climb the Leaning Tower on your own without the guide.

Great experience - Great experience. Didn’t realize there were more buildings on the property, other than the leaning tower. The history is very fascinating. There are lots of great restaurants right up the street that are lovely.

Good info, just the right duration - Informative and just the right length. Sylvia was nice and really knowledgeable. She pointed out unique features about the town, cathedral and tower. We also were able to skip the line for our tower access. Lots of steps but you have to do it when in Pisa!

Disaster from beginning till end. - It was a disaster from beginning to end. Sylvia was a bit late but the directions om Viator were wrong which meant I had to go back and forth 3 times before I found her. Thereafter, she was disinterested in the tour. We were running late and spent barely 30 min with her.
