The DiscoverTuscany team has reviewed several day trips, organized tours and excursions using Pisa as a base. When considering Pisa, your first stop on the itinerary should be a tour of Pisa , and you can either do-it-yourself with the suggestions in our one-day itinerary for the city of Pisa or sign up for a guided tour of its main spectacular monuments.
The first tour is only 2. This isn't the only reason why we were drawn to this organized tour! The second tour that we recommend is a Private Walking Tour , giving you not only entrance to the Cathedral and Tower but an overview of the many other things to see within the historic city center. Please note that the entrance fee for the monuments is not included in the last tour, they are paid separately.
If you stay in Pisa, and you've climbed the Leaning Tower, we recommend you learn some interesting information about Piazza dei Miracoli with a walk around the monuments with this walking tour which then ends along the Arno River. Or consider this off-the-beaten-path walking tour that starts in front of the station and ends in front of the Leaning Tower.
