Excellent walking tour. Monica was a very good guide

Best Pisa Tour, Highly Recommend
One of the best tours I've ever had. I've travelled the world and had many different tours and this was one of my favourites. The guide was engaging and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend. You could tell she was local to the area and had lived there for a while too, which really makes a difference. Fascinating site with so much history attached to it.

The Best Tour for Pisa
Absolutely fantastic tour at Pisa. Tour guide was so knowledgeable. I have done tours all around the world and this was genuinely one of my favourite tours and tour guides. Highly recommend.
via Tripadvisor
Expensive for what it was.
Our guide Alice was good, but worked out of a folder for most of the tour, compared to similar tours we've been on, this was expensive for what it was. It definitely doesn't need 1.5 hours to walk around the square and learn the history. Was nice to learn historical pointers but could've easily been done within an hour.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for joining our tour and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are happy to know that you enjoyed learning about Lucerne’s history and that you found Alice to be a good guide. Our tours are designed to offer a relaxed pace so that visitors can fully appreciate the stories, architecture, and atmosphere of the city, as well as have time for questions and photos. We understand that some travelers prefer a quicker overview, and we truly appreciate your comment as it helps us continue improving and adapting our experiences. We hope you had a pleasant stay in Lucerne and that we can welcome you again in the future. Kind regards, Manuel

Excellent walking tour of Pisa
This was an excellent tour of the square in Pisa. Our guide, Alice, was so enthusiastic about her city and gave us a lot of interesting information. She also recommended local dishes to try. The tour lasted 2 hours and the time went very quickly.

Pisa Walking Tour: Leaning Tower & Miracle Square: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pisa.
How much does Pisa Walking Tour: Leaning Tower & Miracle Square cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Pisa Walking Tour: Leaning Tower & Miracle Square take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Pisa Walking Tour: Leaning Tower & Miracle Square worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 23 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 Pisa Walking Tour: Leaning Tower & Miracle Square?
+
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 Pisa Walking Tour: Leaning Tower & Miracle Square suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pisa Walking Tour: Leaning Tower & Miracle Square?
+
Around 8 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pisa Walking Tour: Leaning Tower & Miracle Square 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: Beyond the Tower (1h round-trip tour), Pisa: Self-Guided Bike Tour to the Sea. 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.

+
