This is a regular bus tour that visits the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was great to go during the day and come back at sunset. You don't necessarily have to apply for a guide, and it would be good to just walk around and look around. Please refer to this~! The Leaning Tower of Pisa!

This tour is in Spanish and English, and the tour guide will explain it in both languages. The tour guide explains it very well. The whole trip went to many places and you can visit many places in one day. Highly recommended!

The trip was a full 12 hours but enough time to rest on the bus during the commute within destinations. Worth the value, lunch was ok (a little rushed) but the wines were good. 3-course meal with some cold cuts / breads as appetisers, ragu pasta as main and some biscotti as dessert (I was expecting a fuller dessert though it was delicious). The guide Fabiana was very lovely and good! Overall, a nice package to include the sightseeing at these various spots. Be prepared to walk! Some shops were closed b'cos it was Sunday..

We are so happy to experience this tour. It is one day tour but we didn't feel bored at all, we visited new places, we met new friends on this tour. We also would like to thank our driver Claudio for his professional driving with huge bus, and last but not least we would like to thank our guide Barbara for her guidance and help for the entire tour.

The time is well arranged and you won't be rushed. The tour guide is very kind and doesn't talk all the time in the car. There will be time for a nap. It is inevitable to walk to the designated spot, and all the small towns you go to can be completed before the meeting time. You can try the Champion Ice Cream, it’s really delicious.

this is a good way to go outside of rome and explore different regions of Italy. buses are very comfortable and safe. i wish there was more time to explore each town. sylvia was a great guide, very knowledgeable and i like that she is strict with punctuality. maybe a physical paper map of Florence would have been more helpful with a sample itinerary to follow rather than a digital guide. it was overwhelming to explore with limited time.

The excursion to the Leaning Tower of Pisa booked through Klook was convenient, with comfortable bus transportation and easy access to the cathedral. However, the guide was overly loud while most of us were trying to rest. Despite this, the overall experience was good and well-organized.

Honestly felt a little rushed with the whole thing because the tour consisted mostly of the travel to and from these two places. Might be awesome and more time to look around if the tour started way earlier. But I guess if you’re young and gets around quick with walking, this tour is definitely for you.

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.
