The Tower of Pisa, known worldwide for its characteristic inclination, is one of the most iconic monuments in Italy. Located in the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, the tower is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Pisa. Construction began in 1173, but due to the soft terrain, the tower began to tilt already during the work. About 56 meters high, the Tower of Pisa is a masterpiece of medieval architecture. Today you can climb its 294 steps to enjoy a breathtaking view of the city and the square below. The tower is a symbol of resilience and a must-see attraction for those visiting Tuscany.

Emilio in Florence was great.
Dina was our guide and she was very knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed the experience. The vans were on time and they had us back by early evening. Dina also gave us some great recommendations for shopping and restaurants in Rome.
What a wonderful private trip to Pisa and Florence! Antonella was such a lovely lady and truly made the day special. She was attentive, caring, and always on top of everything. She guided us with kindness, made sure we were comfortable, and did everything possible to please everyone in our group. Our driver and his Apprentice (Sorry I can’t find his name) were excellent as well — very knowledgeable, professional, funny, and quick. Most importantly, they made us feel safe throughout the entire trip. In Florence, Emilio was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable and made our visit to the Accademia Gallery and Michelangelo’s David very informative and meaningful. He speaks both English and Spanish very well, and his attention to detail made the experience even better. Overall, this was a beautiful, well-organized, and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this private tour!
The day started out great being picked up from our hotel. This was a bonus from the start. Our guide was Antonella and driver was Nicola, both were very nice and interactive throughout the drive. We stopped for short breaks to get snacks/coffee. When we arrive in Florence we had time to take pictures and do a little shopping. We then met with our guide, Christian to take us though the museum. He was very knowledgeable. We then had lunch and was soooo good. We left for Pisa and was able to see the leaning tower, which was fun. Finished off with yummy gelato. Was dropped back off at the hotel. Overall excellent tour. Would definitely recommend and book with them again.
An amazing tour. Our guide (Brenda) was fantastic and so knowledgable about her subject. Would recommend this tour to everyone
Ali was our tour guide and Nikola was our driver. Both were phenomenal. Ali taught us lots of history about Pisa and Florence in the Tuscany region. Very knowledgeable about the subject and introduced us to an amazing lunch spot named Pinocchio, as well as to see David and the other great spots of Florence. Pisa was amazing, and we felt safe the entire trip with Ali on the ground and Nikola on the road! Would recommend to do again with both of these amazing people!
Is this a long day? Yes! Is it worthwhile? Yes! Our driver Max, and tour guide Federica were exceptional, both warm and friendly with great knowledge sharing great snippets of information on the drive in a really comfortable vehicle. Time is limited in both Pisa and Florence but we saw everything we hoped to see and more.
We (3 of us) traveled from Rome to Florence & Pisa on a private tour with Giuseppe and Nicola. A very early start to the day, but it was an amazing tour. It was informative & fun, our guides took excellent care of us throughout the day. Definitely a must do tour!
nice small group tour with our guide Dina and driver Max which did a very great job with the tour, getting us safe and on time. It was a long drive but mostly covered much in Florence which I think is lovely but still not much time to really go around, but it was very fun and nice tour.
This was a great tour and something we will always remember! All the people with Mama Mia tour group are knowledgeable and made the long day trip a fun one! Book this and enjoy! Oh you should climb the steps of Pisa, it’s pretty easy if you take it slow! Thank you to Max our driver, Antonella and Stefano.
