Half-Day Tour of Pisa from Montecatini

Ricardo our guide spoke easy to understand English for a Francophone. He was very interesting and funny.

The tour company forgot to pick us up. Fortunately, they were able to reschedule us. The tour was good but don’t schedule with this company if you do not hedge a flexible schedule. Ciao Florence Tours is not dependable. On a second tour we had booked with them they left us stranded in another town and we had to find our own transportation back, costing us an addition 250 euros!

We enjoyed this tour. We opted to climb the tour and we are glad we did. The climb was not difficult. Our guide kept everything on time. It would have been nice to have one more hour to explore the town or eat at a restaurant.

Our 1st time using TripAdvisor for a tour, and our 1st visit to Pisa. The double-decker bus arrived late and was completely full. WAY TOO MANY people on this tour, probably 40+. A few women didn’t read the fine print so we had to WAIT for them to buy a scarf to cover their shoulders before we could begin tour. Our English speaking tour guide was very kind and patient, so she gets a 10. However, after her tour we were headed to enter the tower but were not given a start time, and we WASTED AN ENTIRE HOUR sitting when we could have grabbed some food or did some shopping. By the time our tower climb was done we had to race back to meeting point TO WALK THE 15-mins back to bus. Communication was not very good. No input on when to eat or use bathrooms before the hour drive home (0845 pick-up/1330 drop-off). It was also HOT; bring an umbrella for shade while walking. The bus driver drove very safe though, so he gets a 10. However, will not use this service again.

Just the perfect amount of time to see Pisa and a little time to shop. Personal hearing devices to listen to the guide was exceptional. Didn't have to strain to hear the guide as she spoke right into your ear.

The tour guide is excellent. 2 stars are for Viator company. We had used Viator for all of our European and Asian day trips in the last 15 years but were vey disappointed this time. The tour started at 9am, we should be at meeting point 20-30 minutes before 9am which we did. We waited from 8:20am to 9:00 and 9:15 and then at 9:23 when we were finally given up ready to g9 back to the hotel a bus drove in to the station parking lot and stopped next to us. We quickly got in, no apology from the tour guide . We will find other tour operators

The entire square was amazing! The guide was very knowledgeable. The highlight of the tour was climbing to the top of the Tower of Pisa! Memorable experience!!

I thought the tour was great Nice and simple especially considering how hot it was (95 degrees F) I would recommend it to other travelers

Too many people in the group. The bus was jammed pack Chaotic and unorganized. Language barrier with the bus transportation etc. mixed group of Spanish speaking and English speaking So confusing !!!

This was a good day trip. Our tour guide in Pisa was excellent. Can’t recommend him more. Great humour. Explained thoroughly the importance of all the buildings. Went quite quickly. Fast paced. Would lived to have had an hour of do if free time.
