Pisa Cathedral (Duomo) Tours and Tickets

We were the only people on this tour. Our guide was excellent! He surprised us and brought us to the baptistery and this staff member came out and had the most beautiful voice, she was showing how the room echoed. The Church itself was amazing but surprised at the cemeteries how great that was too. Then of course we went to the top of the tower. Husband is claustrophobic, but he was fine. 251 steps to the top. It wasn’t bad.

Exactly wwhat we needed - we enjoyed climbing up the tower - easy and fast accesss - got our e tickets in advance - 100% recommended

We had David as our tour guide and he is the best ‘Pisa Explorer’. David is knowledgeable and it was fortunate for us that only my friend and I were on the booked tour so for us it felt even more special to have a couple of hours with him enabling the tour to tailored at our pace and interests but covering everything it set outs to. We were met on time at the meeting point, he was politely and friendly and provided a headset so we could hear him clearly which is needed when going into the buildings with others visiting and having tours (often in other languages). He explained and provided so much info on the history of the leaning tower, cathedral, cemetery and baptistery. We learned so much and the time ran away with us, booking this tour provided us access into this main buildings with no queues, or extra entry costs so no time was lost in our first afternoon after arriving on Pisa at lunchtime. The tour we had booked also included climbing the Leaning Tower of Pisa and again no queueing and he gave us tips which meant we did not need to leave any personal property at storage facilities while we climbed the tour. I am so glad we booked a tour that included the climb. We had very nice weather on the day and could enjoy spectacular views from climbing the leaning tower too. It was wonderful to be taken into the Baptistery at a time when we could hear the acoustics from the demonstration which is provided (usually every 1/2 hr) when the Baptistery is open. If it was not for David and going on his tour, we would not have known about this or got the most informative tour. We 100% recommend this tour with David who offers other tours too and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. He had time to answer any questions, we did not feel rushed and had we not booked this tour, I would certainly never have learned so much and it left a lasting and unforgettable memory for me on this visit Pisa. Thank you David 😊

We had a private tour with David and it was great! David is very knowledgeable and super funny. He made this excursion feel more like a a tour with a local friend than a guide. Highly recommend - he is great.

It was a hot summer day under the Tuscan sun, but the view from the top of the tower was worth the climb. Pisa is beautiful, the countryside is breath taking, full of every shade of yellow and brown you could imagine. We had a wonderful time with family and friends.

David was incredible. Extremely knowledgeable and kind. Would definitely book through him again! We learnt so much about Pisa and saw so many great things which would have been missed, had we down it ourselves.

Great guide. He explained the history and architecture as well as up to current day. He made the tour very interesting and very easy to understand and follow. Made it engaging, even for teenagers.

Be careful on the steps it’s very tight and slippery but SO BEAUTIFUL! Totally worth booking entry to the tower you get an amazing view of Pisa
