The pick up spot for the tour was exactly where it was posted. The young lady who was our tour, I think her name was Regina, was a little difficult to understand at times, but she was able to corral a lot of people onto and off the bus at Pisa, and to the site. Pictures don’t match the lean of the tower. In person it seems to lean more. What a sight. Our tour included climbing the tower, which was slightly strenuous. The stairs are wide marble but it’s worn down and looks slippery. I didn’t see anyone slip, though. It is a strange thing climbing stairs with and against the lean. After reaching the platform there is a smaller winding staircase with little room and it was a challenge. But reaching the top was quite an experience. Like I said, our guide was young and while she didn’t quite match the level of guides I’ve had on other excursions, I think with experience she will be an excellent guide. She has some of the humor and passion needed. I thought she did a great job in pacing as we had some very old people on the tour.

The free time was great. We were able to have a nice lunch on the square while viewing the amazing view

Our guide was Virginia. She was very good at keeping us all together and keeping us informed of times and locations to meet. We had a wonderful time. She went above and beyond expectations!

Virginia our tour guide was great. She was very contious of everyone and was clear about how the tour would work. The description was accurate and I felt like I was in good hands. Driver was safe.
