I went to Pisa with only the Miracle Square in mind. But thanks to Alberto, I got to see that there is more to Pisa than the Tower. That gives a better understanding of the context of Pisa. I visited the city center by myself before the tour. Alberto drew my attention to all the bits of information which I had failed to notice (like the Medici's coat of arms on the Logge dei Banchi). Alberto is passionate about history and Tuscany. He provides advice on other places to visit in the region (like Lucca and Siena) and tips on places to eat. Feel free to ask questions to Alberto who is open to being challenged. Each tour is thus different.Nele_K

As a couple, it was our first visit to Pisa, and Italy. An excellent 👌 Pisa walking tour with our amazing and knowledgeable guide Alberto Cencini. He interacted well and explained every visited site in detail historically in a timely and relaxed manor. Will definitely do it again. Thank you Alberto!
