Enjoy a 2.5-hour small-group guided walking tour of the city of Pisa and then climb the Leaning Tower (an additional 30 minutes required - activity lasts 3 hours in total) with guaranteed pre-booked access by skipping the line at the ticket office and entrance to the Cathedral included.
Explore the city's main attractions, but also discover some of the off-the-beaten-path sites frequented by locals.
The itinerary is absolutely easy and the walk is at a slow pace.
This is a unique experience to enjoy this unpretentious university city where you will have the opportunity to learn about the history, monuments but also the daily life of a small and lively medieval Tuscan town. You will see the city from a different perspective: discover hidden alleys, photograph the city from unusual places and, of course, climb the famous Leaning Tower and visit the beautiful Pisa Cathedral.
