Rejseplan
Monastero delle Benedettine (Benediktinerkloster): bygget i 1393, det var hjemsted for benediktinernonnerne indtil 60'erne. I øjeblikket er klosteret vært for italienske og udenlandske studerende og lærere fra universitetet i Pisa og en konferencesal. Den nuværende nygotiske facade stammer fra 1850.
Chiesa S. Maria della Spina: den Pisanske gotiske lille kirke S. Maria della Spina blev bygget i 1230 på flodbunden af Arno. Fra 1333 holdt kirken som et relikvie en torn af Kristi krone, der nu er udstillet i kirken S. Chiara. I 1871 blev bygningen helt nedlagt og genopført i højere højde; ved denne lejlighed blev kirken hævet omkring en meter.
Palazzo Agostini Venerosi della Seta (Agostini-paladset): dette palads blev bygget mellem slutningen af det 14. århundrede og begyndelsen af det 15. århundrede, men blev kun erhvervet af Mariano og Pietro Agostini, silkehandlere, i 1496, som gav det navn. Facaden, totalt beklædt med gotiske terracotta-lister, i form af planter, menneskehoveder og heraldiske designs, med dobbelte og tredobbelte sprossede vinduer, og den åbne loggia (senere lukket) på øverste etage, gør den til et af de vigtigste eksempler af indenlandsk gotisk arkitektur i Toscana. På gadeplan ligger Caffè dell’Ussero grundlagt i 1775 (paladset er også kendt i Pisa som Palazzo dell’Ussero); det var mødestedet for berømte videnskabsmænd og lærde italienere og udlændinge.
Ponte di Mezzo: Broen er 89 meter lang og har en enkelt bue 12,5 meter høj; det blev bygget efter at være blevet bombet af de allierede styrker i Anden Verdenskrig i armeret beton og beklædt med hvid Verona-sten. Siden anden halvdel af det 17. århundrede har "Gioco del Ponte" fundet sted på broen. Det involverer en kamp mellem hold fra de to dele af Pisa, nord og syd for floden (Mezzogiorno og Tramontana), for at vinde broen ved at skubbe en tung flyder ind på modstanderens side af broen.
Palazzo Pretorio (Preatorian Palace): Regeringsbygningen eller Palazzo Pretorio, hovedkvarteret for regeringsrevisoren og det civile og kriminelle kancelli, var en af de bygninger, der var involveret i renoveringsprocessen i det 18. og 19. århundrede, som havde til formål at ændre byens middelalderlige udseende. Det blev rekonstrueret i 1953 af Sanpaolesi, som kun delvist baserede det på Gherardescas design. Stueetagens loggia blev udvidet til hele bygningens længde, og klokketårnet blev bygget højere.
Palazzo Reale (kongeligt palads): Bygget mellem 1583 og 1587 efter vilje fra storhertug Francis I de' Medici, efter en plan af den florentinske arkitekt Bernardo Buontalenti, er paladset beliggende i et prestigefyldt område i Pisa, hvor residensen for Markis af Tuscia stod i det 10. århundrede. I det 18. og 19. århundrede fortsatte paladset med at være residens for storhertugerne af Toscana. Peter Leopold Jeg nød især at tilbringe vinteren her på grund af det milde klima. Efter foreningen af Italien blev Savoy-familien lejlighedsvis her og gav den sit nuværende navn.

Great to see the city from a different viewpoint. The guide, gabriele, was great, very informative and could and answer all our questions. There was Only me and my husband on the tour so could go as slow as fast as we wanted with plenty of opportunities to take pictures. Would recommend for something different to do whilst here.
Was a fun experience and mostly worth the €32 euros I paid, for the simple fun of getting to Kayak on the Arno river! However, I would be reluctant to call this a tour. The ‘tour’ guide we had did not set a reasonable pace for the group - some were really up ahead and others a bit slower (the providers website says this is an activity suitable for all levels but it was treated like we should all be advanced). So there was no opportunity for him to tell us about what were seeing, I had to row up next to him and ask which was a bit disappointing, he also didn’t seem very enthusiastic or happy to be there. All in all it was more like he was there to ensure none of us crashed of capsized vs as a tour guide. I’d still book this tour, but just manage your expectations in case you get our same guide! Also avoid the yellow kayak with the round ended nose unless you are advanced!
This was so much fun! We had Edoardo as our guide and he was the best! We had a fun time with him and he was so patient and gentle with us, I was a little scared at first for falling in the water but he reassured me that nobody has fallen in the water before We were only my husband and I and our guide so we got to small talk with Edoardo
Myself and my 16 year old son took the 7pm tour with Edo. It was so beautiful on the river, we got to hear live jazz music from a river bar, we seen beautiful birds and nature and our guide was super friendly, highly professional young man who made us feel at ease and told us about the surrounding areas and life in Pisa. Thanks Edo! Highly recommend
Great kayak trip on the Arno river! We had Gabriele as our guide and he was awesome and very knowledgeable. We loved how quiet it was compared to the tourist areas and you get to see the landscape change from urban to natural along the river with lots of fun surprises like planes flying over, jumping fish, and interesting historic buildings. We learned about Pisa, the surrounding area of Tuscany, and landmarks we passed. It was a really beautiful trip and very fun! 10/10 and ask for Gabriele when you book!
The guide very friendly, explained several things and was very attentive. The walk is worth seeing from another side. It's a unique thing.
I was really looking forward to the kayak trip on the Arno at sunset. Our group consisted only of our two friendly families. That made it very nice. Our guide was Gabriele. What a friendly boy he was! In the morning we were notified where and when we were expected. Every question was answered quickly and clearly. Everything was well supervised and there was no time pressure. He also told fun facts about Pisa. Of course, he took some nice group photos, which he sent the next day. And then the sunset: so magical, it was really amazing! Highly recommended. Beforehand I had sent another email because I had another question. The kayaks were for two, but I wanted to hear if my 10-year-old daughter could join as a Third party or the guide because there were 7 of us. The owner replied quickly to this and I was also reassured that there are solutions for this. He had also clearly passed this on to Gabriele. It's nice to see such clear communication. At the end of the trip the owner also came to meet us. Really nice man. Before departure you can change, there are showers, a toilet and you can safely leave your belongings. You also get a protective case for your smartphone. Everything was well arranged!
The kayak tour is an original and enjoyable activity. The city of Pisa at sunset is charming. The guide, Lorenzo, was very friendly.
A great experience, our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly, my son loved it because he loves fish and we saw some leaping out of the water. Felt really safe and organised with my 11 year old and I am queen of the anxious mums.
The trip is a relaxing pace along the Arno river. 2km each way. Watch out for flying fish - was super fun seeing them jump over our kayaks. Sightseeing wise it is limited but it’s still a different way to experience pisa.
