Tour Details

Pisa Cathedral would probably be the city's most famous monument, if it weren't for a certain leaning tower... With this tour you'll discover both! The guide will take you to Piazza dei Miracoli (the Square of Miracles) to discover its iconic monuments, known for their beautiful and unique Romanesque style. You will visit the interior of Pisa Cathedral with your guide and will have plenty of time also to take pictures inside and bask in its remarkable architectural grandeur.

Behold the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa and admire the round-shaped Baptistery surrounded by its unique columned arcades, and its “Camposanto”, originally a cemetery, an extraordinary quadrangular cloister. Be enthralled as your guide regales you with the history of the leaning structure of the tower which stirs the imaginations (and the social media feeds!) of all visitors. After about one hour of guided tour of the Piazza dei Miracoli, visit the interior of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
