Overview

A private walking tour, in Italian or Russian, through the historic center to learn about the history, legends and funny stories of the city of Pisa.
You will learn how Pisa was a despotic maritime republic and why Pisa was hated by all the cities of Tuscany.
The tour starts from the Piazza dei Miracoli
I will tell you about the Baptistery and its two-colored roof.
We will look for unusual columns and strange signs on the facade of the Duomo. Then we will visit the interior with its works of art and the chandelier used by Galileo.
In front of the Leaning Tower I will tell you how it leaned and how it was saved.
We will admire the Piazza dei Cavalieri, a legacy of the Medici family, today home to the Scuola Normale Superiore.
I will show you Galileo's house and tell you its story.
We will pass by Piazza delle Vettovaglie, a destination for an aperitif or a dinner with Pisan cuisine.
For the sweet tooth, here you can taste the Torta coi Bischeri.
We end up on the Ponte di Mezzo where we admire the Lungarno Pisano.
