The history of Pisa was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to walk us thru to all the highlights. Skipping the line at the tower was a blessing as the lines were very long. If you go to Pisa, skipping the line is a must!

Great tour of Pisa

SathishKumar_S, Jan 2026

Thank you very much David - Pisa Explorer

I absolutely loved this...

Kathleen_C, Nov 2025
I absolutely loved this walking tour. David, was incredibly knowledgeable and brought Pisa’s history to life in such a fascinating way. He shared so much insight into why so many of Pisa’s buildings are tilted or sinking, the impact of the war, and how different civilisations shaped the city over time. The stories behind the Leaning Tower were really interesting, from why it was built where it was, how it was built, why it leans, to the modern engineering that’s made it safe to climb today. I was originally planning to visit Pisa on my own and had started researching what to see and do, but nothing I found online came close to the depth of understanding I gained from this tour. I walked away with such a richer appreciation of the city and its history. I’m so glad I joined. It really gave so much more meaning to my visit.

We had a fantastic experience on our Leaning Tower of Pisa excursion! Our guide, David Di Giacomo, was absolutely incredible—so knowledgeable and passionate about the history and architecture of Pisa. He made the entire tour engaging and informative from start to finish. We were actually about 15 minutes late to the meetup spot due to unforeseen delays, and David went out of his way to try and wait for us so we could catch up. That level of patience and consideration really meant a lot to us, and we truly appreciated it.

Joyce_C, Dec 2024
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable on the history of the town of Pisa and also the tower and cathedral. A well-rounded tour because Pisa is more than just a tower. Also pay the extra and climb the tower and visit the cathedral. Both are worth it!

Our guide was amazing!! He gave us 3000 years of history in 3.5 hours. So friendly and so fun. We walked all over Pisa learning so many wonderful things and ended at the Piazza del Duomo. The Cattedrale di Pisa is breathtaking. Climbing the bell tower was incredible. We got to go to the very top! All 296 steps. This was our favorite day in Italy.
