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.
