Your tour begins at the Fontana dei Putti in Piazza Arcivescovado, near the Piazza dei Miracoli. Here, you'll meet your expert, licensed guide. With fast-track access, you’ll enter the complex swiftly, skipping long lines and diving straight into the history and grandeur of Pisa’s architectural marvels.
Your guide introduces the Leaning Tower’s fascinating history—from its unintended tilt to the engineering feats that stabilized it. You'll ascend the spiral staircase independently with a pre-booked timeslot. From the top, soak in sweeping views of Pisa and its picturesque surroundings.
Step inside the Pisa Cathedral (Duomo) with your guide and marvel at its ornate marble interiors, medieval mosaics, and Byzantine-Islamic architectural influences. Your guide shares stories of saints, artists, and emperors who shaped its legacy, making this Romanesque masterpiece come alive through centuries of religious and artistic expression.
If your tour includes the Baptistry, your guide will lead you inside Italy’s largest baptistery and explain its fusion of Gothic and Romanesque elements. Witness its famous acoustics in action, often demonstrated live by staff, and discover how this unique space complements the spiritual vision of the Piazza dei Miracoli.
This monumental cemetery is a serene, cloistered quadrangle that blends quiet reverence with artistic grandeur. If included, your guide will take you past Roman sarcophagi and frescoed walls damaged in WWII, recounting stories of death, redemption, and the Pisan elite who sought burial within this sacred enclosure.
Located just outside the piazza, the museum houses original sculptures and artwork from the cathedral and baptistery. If your tour includes entry, your guide will highlight masterpieces by Nicola Pisano and others, giving you a richer context for the art and artifacts that once adorned the sacred monuments.
This lesser-known gem showcases the preparatory sketches—called sinopie—for Camposanto’s frescoes. If part of your itinerary, your guide will explain the fresco-making process and the dramatic wartime destruction that led to the preservation of these red ochre drawings, offering a rare look at the artistry behind medieval murals.
Marvel at Pisano’s 14th-century pulpit—an expressive masterpiece of Gothic sculpture narrating scenes from Christ’s life.
All guides for Leaning Tower of Pisa tours are licensed professionals, often with backgrounds in art history, archaeology, or local Tuscan history. They are experts in the monumental complex and are fluent in multiple languages.
The depth of art history covered varies by tour type. Standard tours provide an overview of major artworks and their historical context. Smaller group or private tours often allow for more detailed discussions, delving into artistic techniques, symbolism, and lesser-known facts, tailored to the group's interests.
No, Leaning Tower of Pisa guided tours are available in a variety of languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. You can select your preferred language when booking to ensure a comfortable and informative experience.
Guided tours offer an enhanced experience beyond basic entry. The cost reflects skip-the-line access, saving valuable time; the expertise of a licensed guide who brings history and art to life; curated itineraries ensuring you see the most important sights; and often smaller group sizes for a more personal interaction.
If you arrive a few minutes late for a group tour, the group may not be able to wait, and you might forfeit your spot. It's best to arrive at least 15 minutes early to ensure a smooth start.
Expect a significant amount of walking during a guided tour of the Piazza dei Miracoli, covering the extensive grounds and entering multiple monuments. Climbing the Leaning Tower involves ascending approximately 273 steps, which can be challenging.
For larger group tours (often exceeding 6 participants), audio headsets are typically provided to ensure you can clearly hear your guide's commentary even in crowded areas.
Yes, a guided tour can be engaging for children, especially older ones who can appreciate the history and stories. Some guides can tailor their explanations to be more kid-friendly. However, due to the duration (1.5-3 hours) and the climbing requirement for the tower, it might not be ideal for very young children. Children under 8 are strictly prohibited from climbing the Leaning Tower.
Great Guide, Fun & Informative! Last part of tour - not so good! Basically got dropped off at a restaurant and the service there was not so good!
Enjoy an uncrowded, immersive small group tour (max 15 guests) of the complex—with expert guidance, local flavors, and tower views.

I think it is too expensive for what is offered, they take you there and back without explaining anything interesting, they give you a small tour of the cathedral and little else, I think doing it on your own is much cheaper, it is not worth it.
The place was great, and the guide cared about our safety.
Seeing the tower was an experiece of a lifetime!
Skip the stress of planning with round-trip AC bus transfers from Florence and the flexibility to explore Pisa your way.

Entrance to the tower very matter despite the seemingly long queue. You come for the given time you have on your ticket. Remember to leave your backpacks, purses, etc. in the baggage room, as you can't bring anything with you to the tower except your phone/apparatus.
I loved seeing the fabulous historic buildings and I was very pleased with the staff of the complex who were very helpful.
Everything worked well. There was supposed to be a ticket redemption point between the Baptistery and the cathedral. As there wasn't one, we went straight to the entrance of the cathedral with our online ticket and got in without any problems. We found this information a little confusing. The monumental complex is very interesting and very impressive.
Top, experience, view, very friendly and smiling staff, great management with a limited number of people, I recommend the 1st session at 9am.
The area around the tower was such a cute little place to eat and shop. The views from the top of the tower were awesome.
Healdout allowed me to purchase the same day with a bit of a discount, let's just say that it's inconceivable that children pay the same price as adults..(abroad children don't pay to enter museums..)in Italy in addition to paying to see our beauties we still had to queue at the entrance and make do with the bags that couldn't get in...the monument is worth it but everything else is a bit of a disincentive
Easy to book! Worth the price!
A comprehensive, easy-to-use audio guide, with navigation through the different chapters.
The place is amazing and everything was super easy with the Headout tickets 👌
The impressive De la Torre, we were left open-mouthed with all its imposing architecture.
Guided, friendly and directed expetienxia. They take care of your luggage.
Skip the line was very convenient
The ease with which we could arrive at our allotted time and climb the Tower was so convenient.
I have to give kudos to the organization. There were a lot of people but no queues. Only a few minutes wait to get on the tower, perfectly respecting the assigned time slot.
Efficient and quick service. Accurate on time and professionalism. We had no problem at all with the purchase and we liked how quick they responded.
The climb up the tower was strenuous, but the view was great. The steps were so well worn that you had to worry about slipping on the way down.
We had a good trip to see the impressive Pisa - ticket collection using the Headout voucher was simple and quick. Tickets were ready and waiting for us. One word of caution when visiting Pisa is you have to get the bus from the train station to the attraction the bus ticket needs to be validated as we found out to our cost. The inspectors jump on the bus stop before you leave the bus and then hit you with €40 fines each for non validation- this for a €3 journey. They are very demanding and provide a intimidating approach.
Good entrance management - multilingual information board would help, Toilet entry without coins not helpful for everyone - All in all : very good v.a. Very friendly staff - KOMPLIMENT!!!!!
Really easy to book and use the tickets. Make sure you drop any bags off in the cloakroom nearby first. Not rushed or crammed with lots of people. Watch out for conmen and women from Kenya, they claim, asking for the time and giving you 'free' bracelets and compliments before asking you to pay. Just ignore them and walk past. A no thank you should be enough.
Very easy to rent online. We rented a parking space about 1km away. Very busy. Magnificent site, easy and quick access to the tour despite the queue. A must-see, as is the cathedral.
Enjoy your visit. You should know in advance that there are lockers at your disposal, as no bags are allowed when visiting the tower... that would avoid being rushed by the "security guards".
Purchasing the ticket was easy and very functional. The email containing the ticket went to the "spam" inbox, but you had warned me with the first confirmation email, so finding it was not difficult. The visit to the Piazza dei Miracoli was very nice, especially going up the Tower was really unique because the effect of the slope is felt immediately from the first steps. Although I live in the province of Pisa and therefore was "used to" the beauty of the Tower, climbing it for the first time was a beautiful experience.
Simple and efficient! The user-friendly interface saved us time and made our one-day program in Pisa a reality!
Visiting the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a real experience. What's more, booking the ticket is straightforward and at a fair price because you can visit several sights with one ticket. I can only recommend it.
Easy to use, combined tickets for all the monuments in the Piazza des Miracoli and audio guide - good experience, I recommend it.
Skip the ticket line to the iconic Pisa tower—climb to its top and enjoy panoramic views.

Very helpful and friendly guides, and very knowledgeable. We got to see some beautiful parts of the cathedral and the view from the tower is amazing.
We had a wonderful guide which added historical context to what we saw. Really enjoyed the Cathedral and Cemetary history. The weather was great and we had a good time exploring.
Our guide should be in Italian, it was the only one available when I booked. However, our guide also speeks English and this change that she did in the last minute was awesome (my husband and I we are Brazilian, we don't speek Italian but we speek English). It saved our tour. Besides that, she had great sense of humour and gave us a lot of information about Pisa and all the monuments. We rlhqd a great tome with her!!!
This tour xompany was a great find. Our tour guide Andrea was excellent, very knowledgeable, funny and on point with everything. She was prompt, cordial and knew so much about the area. We were able to visit all the sites and had a great time. Will definitely book again with this company if the ocassion arises.
I liked the implication and passion of the guide. The details she offered us helped to better understand the value of the place.
It was very good a lot of history The guide was very good a lot of information. Easy access to all the venues Good experience overall.

The explanation of the guide was excellent, my daughter learned many things, I could not do the tour because I had an accident in Rome and could not move, I understand that I could not support me, neither you nor in Italy, it seems that they are prepared to assist a person because they do not have services and being a Sunday and in high season because they were too busy but I was close and I could hear the explanations of the guide, I hope in the future to make the visit.
Our guide was prompt and took time to explain the attractions.
Alessia, our guide , was very good. She was very informative. We were given plenty of time to explore on our own.
I don't need to book the ticket for the tower by myself, that's good
Experience top 3 sites in the Pisa Complex in one time-efficient expert-led tour.
