Fun and Knowledge in One Package!
Martina was an amazing tour guide!! She was so knowledgeable and gave us a day to remember for a lifetime! She is kind, fun and engaging. In addition to sharing a ton of knowledge she made restaurant recommendations we ended up using (sometimes more than once) that we absolutely loved! This tour is totally worth it and a great adventure!

Incredible Experience
Martina is an absolute gem! We had the pleasure of having her give us a tour of Pisa 12 years ago as a new couple, and couldn’t wait to have her do this for our little family this year . She came prepared with engaging activities for the kids, prizes , and incredible storytelling. She is an absolute MUST BOOK if you’re exploring Pisa
Response from the operator: Aww Elise! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this amazing review about your day tour of Pisa with me. It was lovely to see you again and meet your children! I had a blast engaging you all in the 'animal hunt' at the 'field of miracles' and in foodie spots throughout the historic centre! I really hope to see you again in Tuscany sometimes in the near future. Hugs, Martina x

Excellent experience visiting Pisa
Many people told us there isn't much to do in Pisa beyond taking a few photos with the Leaning Tower, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Martina took us on an incredible tour around the city, showing us far more than its most famous landmark. Along the way, she shared fascinating history and local insights that we never would have discovered on our own. It was a truly memorable experience, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for Pisa. Thank you Martina!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Dmitry! Thank you for having me as your private guide in Pisa last week! :) It was a pleasure and an honour to introduce Irina and you to the local history and traditions. I really hope to see you again in Tuscany soon! Fondly, Martina x

Martina, what a truly unforgettable day in Pisa and Lucca – thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Martina, what a truly unforgettable day in Pisa and Lucca – thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We were a group of six, including two kids aged 10 and 11, and honestly could not have wished for a better guide. The cycling tour was the perfect way to explore Pisa, and Martina made it feel like an adventure rather than a sightseeing checklist. She connected with our children effortlessly – they still talk about her! The ice cream challenge was pure genius: a fun, playful way to discover the city's best spots while the kids stayed fully engaged. Martina also had a wonderful eye for the small hidden details and "secret treasures" you'd never find in a guidebook. Lunch was a dream – authentic Tuscan food in a relaxed spot well away from the tourist trail. And through it all, her historical knowledge and local insight were woven in so naturally that we learned a huge amount without it ever feeling like a lecture. Warm, creative, energetic, and genuinely passionate about her home – Martina is the real deal. We truly hope to be back! Katja, Christen & family 🥰

Pisa Tour & Gelato Making!
Martina is absolutely fantastic! My husband and I toured with her in 2015, and knew when we returned to the area with our family, we would want to tour with her again. This time, we had my 79 year old mother, and our 3 children with us (ages 3, 7, and 10). Martina did an amazing job customizing the tour to our family and kept it so interesting for the kids, searching for different animals on all the buildings. She arranged for my husband and my oldest daughter to climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa and they had a blast. She also made sure there were breaks in the shade for my mother as needed. It was a great day! We got to spend a 2nd day with her as she arranged a special Gelato Making class at Gelateria De'Coltelli for our family for my daughter's 10th Birthday. It was right in Pisa and was so informative and a ton of fun! Their vanilla Gelato is the best I've ever tasted. I can't recommend her enough - she is such a wonderful person and a wealth of knowledge!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cycling Pisa highlights & hidden treasures - half day tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pisa.
How much does Cycling Pisa highlights & hidden treasures - half day tour cost?
+
Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pisa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cycling Pisa highlights & hidden treasures - half day tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pisa is not rushed.
Is Cycling Pisa highlights & hidden treasures - half day tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 45 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pisa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cycling Pisa highlights & hidden treasures - half day tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cycling Pisa highlights & hidden treasures - half day tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cycling Pisa highlights & hidden treasures - half day tour?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pisa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pisa and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cycling Pisa highlights & hidden treasures - half day tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pisa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pisa?
+
On Outty we rank every Pisa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pisa’s Ultimate Food Tour: Full Tuscan Meal by Do Eat Better, Pisa: Self-Guided Bike Tour to the Sea, Pisa: Self-Guided Historic Center Bike Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pisa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pisa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
