Tour description
Everyone knows the Leaning Tower, but few realise that Pisa was once a mighty maritime republic that rivalled Genoa and Venice. On this walking tour a local guide helps you understand the true story behind the famous tilt and takes you beyond the crowds into the elegant, student-filled old town along the river Arno.
You will explore the dazzling white marble monuments of the Square of Miracles, learn why the tower leans and how it was saved from collapse, then cross into a living city of medieval palaces, lively squares and riverside walks. It is the ideal way to turn a quick photo-stop into a real understanding of one of Tuscany's great cities.
