Experience more than just the Leaning Tower, explore the city!
For decades Pisa has been a highly popular tourist destination, linked primarily to its famous Leaning Tower,
the rest of the city is usually ignored by most travelers, but those who are fortunate enough to explore it are always pleasantly surprised. Almost three thousand years of history and art set along the beautiful and bright Arno riverbanks charm the most curious and seasoned visitors with their architecture, churches and beautiful museums.
Pisa is also highly unique in that it calmly breathes the typical life of a small medieval Tuscan town, with its narrow streets, traditional markets and characteristic shops, while managing to merge seamlessly with the liveliness of its three universities and large international research community.
Pisa is the main town of the Tuscan coast, and it is connected to the world by its Galileo Galilei airport, as well as to all the main Italian destinations by an efficient highway and rail network: Lucca is only 20 km away, less than half an hour by car or train; the port of Livorno is just 25 km south of the city; and Florence is just an hour’s train ride to the east.
Pisa is also the perfect base for easily reaching the Cinque Terre with only an hour-long train ride.
Make Pisa your base for exploring Western Tuscany and the Cinque Terre, and enjoy all the surprising experiences that Pisa Explorer has to offer you.
See you in Pisa!

YOUR GUIDE
We thoroughly enjoyed this Food Tour.
David is so knowledgeable and friendly. The food and wine was top class. We were so relaxed the whole time. We were brought to places off the tourist trap that we would never have found. Be warned though Italians do not do small portions! Do not miss this tour!
It was exactly as I wanted,
off beaten track and lots of local information, history, culture, geography and architecture. David was friendly and engaging and we all got on well as a group, due to David’s way of including everyone into the conversations. Thoroughly enjoyed this walk and came away with some lasting memories of Pisa. Thank you!
Pisa Explorer: David is superb!
We just spent a wonderful day with David from Pisa Explorer. He makes the tour such a personal experience intertwining ancient and modern history while taking you to interesting stops along with way. He was so helpful even getting us our bus and train tickets to go to our next stop! Thank you David for a terrific experience! you are a gem!
3 hour tour
David is so helpful and did a great job showing me the sites of Pisa. Very informative. Organized but still relaxed in approach. Very good at communication before, during and even after the tour.
We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour,
lots of interesting sites we wouldn’t have seen on our own. Great view points for photos too!
Grazie mille!
