David was an excellent tour guide. We had a very good time exploring more of Pisa that we wouldn't normally walk along. He took us past lots of hidden places and shared his knowledge in heat detail. He even took time to ask everyone's names and where we had come from and our plans for in Pisa and the surrounding area. We would highly recommend to visitors to Pisa so you can see the main sights. Thanks

We enjoyed the 2 hour walk - David was extremely knowledgeable and well informed. I did the walk with my 2 children aged 10 and 13 and despite it being a very hot day they were mostly very engaged, particularly when David took us up to the top of the Victoria hotel for rooftop views of the city, including the leaning tower.

David was an excellent guide. He is extremely knowledgeable on the history and architecture of Pisa. He quickly determined our level of interest and focused his commentary accordingly. The walking pace of the tour was leisurely making it that much more enjoyable on a sweltering hot day.
