What people are saying about Pisa

Wonderful trip! One of the highlights on our trip to Italy! So much information and history. We loved it! Things to note it is a LOT of walking. We walked the 10 minute walk from our hotel to the train station so that added on but we clocked over 20K steps that day. I would say we are fairly average size Americans, my husband is 5'9, I'm 5'6 the bus was a bit of a tight squeeze with no bathroom. If we had been taller or plus sized it would have been very uncomfortable.

A wonderful experience with a wonderful guide and bus driver! Barbara was very warm, friendly, and helpful and took extra measures to ensure everyone was having a nice time. She is a delightful guide and very knowledgeable! Fiorenzo is a very safe driver and got us everywhere on time with no problems. Definitely recommend!

The tour was conducted by Walkabout. It was one of the most organised tour I had in Italy. Guide Lavinya was excellent. Her knowledge in Tuscany region and passion for tour is excellent. Great experience with Wine testing. Good to know the local history of Florence, Siena , San G and Pisa..I highly recommend this tour

The vans were very comfortable. Our driver was a sweetheart. Plenty of time in each area. We left a couple of areas a little early by our choice because the weather was windy and cold. Our driver came each time we called.
