Pisa Street Food and City Highlights Walking Tour
Description
Discover the authentic side of Pisa on this immersive two-hour tour that proves there is so much more to see than just a tilted tower. Taste the local delicacies of Pisa, like Cecina, a savory chickpea pancake, local Pecorino and salami, but also cantucci (biscuit) and gelato. The tasting will take place through the whole city, allowing you to visit the center and admire Chiesa di Santa Maria della SPina, cross the bridge to from one side to the other of Lungarno Mediceo, stroll through Borgo Stretto and much more. In the end, ask the guide to accompany you to Piazza dei Miracoli where you will find the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Cathedral, with the option of booking the tickets with us but visiting the monumets at your pace without the guide. PLEASE NOTE: kids until the age of 8 Years old are not allowed to go up the Tower.

great experience, I tasted a lot of typical foods from Pisa and Tuscany. the city is really nice and the guide told us everything about it
This tour was perfect for my first time in Pisa. Nice introduction to the city (there's so much more than the tower) and the food was a lot, many delicious options. Asia was a great guide, she is patient, funny and knows everything!
Never thought Pisa cuisine was so rich and different from other parts of Italy. Our guide Marco was a very good host, knowledgeable and fun
It's a good tour but we found the order of the food a bit strange. Starting off with meatballs and lasagne we went straight on to pastries, then antipasti, ham and cheese. Would have preferred savoury things first followed by sweet things.
