It was perfect to get to know Pisa and its story beside of the leaning tower. The guide was friendly and the size of the group awesome. I can recommend to do this tour on one of the first days in town.

Our guide's knowledge of the evolution of the buildings over the centuries was fascinating. It was great that he lives in Pisa and has a local perspective.
