Poor communivation

judith_m, Apr 2025

Don’t Trudy them to pick Up also suppose to be in English had to listen to 20 min of Spanish not fun

Excellent day with good local guides

Gill_G, Apr 2025

Cathedral guided tour excellent . Well organised trip very small group which made it manageable. Guide was excellent throughout

Just do the Tower yourself

Melanie_J, Oct 2024

Of course seeing the Tower itself is a must do. I also recommend going into the tower to get the feeling of the tilt. The local guides were very good and knowledgeable but the main guide was just ok. We booked for an English tour but it was in both English and Spanish. The timings were not great, we did not get time to eat. The cake tasting was a waste of time and Lucca was, well, boring. Sorry but not really worth it. But do go to the Tower!

A must- do trip for all!

A well organised tour, all the guides had really good knowledge. There is plenty of time in Pisa to explore on your own following the tour.
