This is a Spanish + English double group, with a total of 62 people taking a double-decker Bus. Two tour guides and one main tour guide, Marti, constantly switched between English/Spanish along the way to introduce the itinerary and recommended attractions and precautions. When arriving at the attractions After that, Alex was responsible for the English-speaking tour guide, but we chose to travel semi-independently, so we just went around on our own. For us who like to walk around and explore at will, about an hour at each point is enough, but the sunshine time in winter It’s short, and the sunset takes less than half an hour to get to Pisa, which is a bit of a pity, but it definitely doesn’t have this problem in summer.

It's very convenient to use upon arrival. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a cool place. It looks completely different from the top view from a high-rise building. It's worth visiting.

tickets are easy to redeem. just get to the tower 5 mins before your booked slot to enter. any kind of bag are not allowed inside, so please store them for free opposite the tower.

Participate in a variety of one-day tours at reasonable prices. You don't need to arrange transportation to various attractions by yourself, so that your head and legs can be free. Recommend ~

Buy it the night before and use it right away the next day. It’s a little more expensive than onsite, but it saves you time in queuing to buy tickets. It’s a good deal!

The tour was well paced with ample of time at each stop to explore. Lunch was a highlight with wine tasting of 4 different types of wine. Our guide was humourous, overall a wonderful day out!

Remarkable Landmarks and Must-Visit Sights

Leaning Tower of Pisa

The main attraction, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, stands at 55.86 meters on the low side and 56.67 meters on the high side. Visitors can climb its 296 steps to enjoy panoramic views of Pisa from the top.

Pisa Cathedral

Adjacent to the tower, the Pisa Cathedral is a stunning example of Romanesque architecture. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a must-see.

Pisa Baptistry

The Pisa Baptistry, another architectural gem in the Piazza del Duomo, is known for its impressive acoustics and beautiful design.

Culture and History

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is part of the Piazza del Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Construction began in 1173 and was completed in 1372. The tower's lean started during construction due to soft ground. It has survived numerous earthquakes and was stabilized between 1993 and 2001.

Local Cuisine

Pisa offers a delightful culinary experience. Must-try dishes include 'pappa al pomodoro' (tomato and bread soup), 'ribollita' (a hearty vegetable soup), and 'cacciucco' (a traditional fish stew). Enjoy these dishes at local trattorias for an authentic taste of Tuscany.

Architectural Marvel

Built in the 12th century with an inadequate foundation, the Leaning Tower of Pisa has surprisingly stood the test of time. Recent restorations have reduced its tilt, but the lean is still noticeable and fascinating.

Cultural Significance

The Leaning Tower is not just a tourist attraction; it's a symbol of architectural resilience and historical significance. The Piazza dei Miracoli is a UNESCO World Heritage site, adding to its cultural importance.

Photo Opportunities

The Leaning Tower offers endless creative photo opportunities. Whether you're pretending to hold it up or pushing it down, it's a fun and iconic photo spot.

Cultural and Historical Significance

The Leaning Tower of Niles was built between 1931 and 1934 by Robert Ilg to conceal a water tower for his park. It has since become a symbol of architectural ingenuity and cultural heritage. In 2019, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing its importance in American history and architecture.
