Full description
From the Renaissance beauty of Florence this trip whisks you off to world-famous Pisa – home of that legendary lean. A scenic drive through rolling hills and olive groves before you arrive at Pisa’s showstopper – the Piazza dei Miracoli. There you’ll meet the big three: the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, and the Baptistery.
You’ll get the chance to conquer all 294 steps of the Leaning Tower. The climb’s a bit of a leg-burner, but the views from the top are totally worth it. Sweeping scenes of Pisa’s rooftops, rolling hills, and the river Arno. Your guide will share the tower’s backstory, from medieval blunders to modern engineering marvel, before your climb.
Next, you’ll head into the Cathedral and Baptistery. These Romanesque masterpieces are jaw-droppers, inside and out. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, there’s one final stop – Piazza dei Cavalleggeri. Here, you’ll learn how a young Galileo gazed at the stars and changed science forever.

Reviews
Mario was very nice and personable. He told us about the different neighborhoods and some of the history. It was a great ride because it wasn't the "tourist trap" type of ride. And when the ambulance boat passed us, he quickly turned us into the wake, keeping us safe and dry.
Alyssa was wonderful and very accommodating , her English is excellent and the way she explains feels it’s coming form the heart. God bless her and thank you for such a great experience
This was the worst activity I booked. The guide was rude from the beginning. We understood that he wanted to wait to check on the weather but he was rude in the process. Another lady was making light of the situation telling him she understood and he was rude to her. He decided to proceed but then said they would just ride around the stand and not the actual excursion. I asked if we had the choice to be refunded as he was not acting like it was safe to proceed. When I asked about the credit he got all mad and then just said they will do the canal. Well if you’re expecting a nice ride down the canal this isn’t your tour. We entered the canal for a brief moment and then went behind it. If you’re looking for a gondola ride down the canal this isn’t it. And you don’t need to book. There are so many gondolas you can book at any time without paying the premium of a tour. This was definetly not worth the money. He was also talking about us in Italian not realizing I understood some
