Itinerary

Admission included

Recognized worldwide, the gravity-defying Leaning Tower of Pisa has captivated crowds for centuries with its distinctive tilt. The tower, which took nearly 200 years to construct, started leaning even before it was finished and still nobody knows for sure why this is! Some say it was the result of an architectural miscalculation, whereas others believe the soft clay ground was the cause. Decide for yourself by exploring this must-see UNESCO World Heritage Site! You’ll have a strict 30 minutes to climb to the top, take in the views and head back down, so be sure to make every second of your time in the tower count! The 294-step staircase can be disconcerting; with steps slanting different ways, but you’ll be rewarded with fantastic panoramic views over Pisa from the top! Walk around the tower’s balcony and take photos of the busy square below, littered with incredible monuments like Pisa Cathedral and the Campo Santo cemetery.

20 min

Then, you will be dazzled by the marvelous Cathedral where you will visit by your own the indoor part, a model of the distinctive Pisa Romanesque architecture. Admire its striking facade adorned with intricate marble details and exquisite bronze doors. Inside, marvel at the grandeur of the interior featuring stunning mosaics, ornate columns, and intricate frescoes.

Tour saud they told us to arrive 10 mins beforehand but hadnt and when called we couldnt change time or get refund defo dont recommend at all.

Leaning Tower Experience

The Tower is quite something to see as is the Cathedral. If you have the stamina make sure to climb the 300 steps to the top of the tower. The view is magnificent.

Great experience. Once in Italy. Must do 👍🇮🇹

This was a great experience. We took the express train from Rome to Pisa Costing 52 euros. Then once at the Pisa station a short cab ride for 11 euros. Once there checked in at the information center to upload entry ticket. Information center staff very helpful. The cathedral was beautiful and not as restricted with cover up. 15 minutes before our 4:45 checkin time for the pisa tour we were at the line to enter. Not as bad as it looks for the 290 steps up to the top of the leaning tower of Pisa. Outside some nice restaurants and tents either stuff to buy Overall. Great experience but a long day for us from Rome 🙏💕💙

It was a hot summer day...

It was a hot summer day under the Tuscan sun, but the view from the top of the tower was worth the climb. Pisa is beautiful, the countryside is breath taking, full of every shade of yellow and brown you could imagine. We had a wonderful time with family and friends.

DO NOT BUY this tour option!

I would give the tour company a zero if possible. Our ticket voucher was absolutely useless. We went to the redemption point and the ticket personal has NO IDEA what to do with it. They looked at us like we were crazy showing them the link information that was sent to us. We had to purchase new tickets at the ticket office. Soooo not cool. Don’t buy this tour option!! We wasted over $200.00 USD on worthless tickets plus the additional cost of new tickets. A VERY pricy day that shouldn’t have been! (As an aside, the tower and cathedral are worth the view- do it on your own!)

Operator response

Dear Kelly, We're sorry to hear about your feedback. As indicated on both the Viator voucher and our online platform, tickets are typically delivered via email or WhatsApp, so the Viator voucher is not the entry ticker and is not valid to collect tickets.. After reviewing with our booking department, we confirmed that the tickets were indeed sent to the number provided in your reservation two days prior to the tour. Additionally, we ensured that a confirmation of receipt was sent upon ticket delivery. Also on your Viator voucher and online you can also find the emergency numbers of our offices that you can call in case of any problems, but we have not received any calls from you. In case it had happened surely the collegues in the booking department would have instructed you to look on WhatsApp as the entry tickets had already been sent. Warm regards,
