Overall a good trip, one thing we didn’t like was the rushed feeling to walk to and from the bus stop to get to Pisa, we would have liked to have more time and not felt rushed. Going up the tower was great and an amazing view but felt rushed because we were looking at the time and worried that we would miss the bus. Would have loved to been able to eat lunch in Pisa and then been able to grab the bus. Would do the tour again but would have liked to spend more time in Pisa to explore and eat.

The coach company had overbooked and more people boarded than there were seats, we had to wait for a larger bus to come and change over, this wasn’t much fun as it was raining really bad, in their defence we still got the same amount of time as we should have had as they agreed to collect us later than originally planned. The coach park is a considerable distance from the tower which caused problems for my dad who used walking sticks, however, it wasn’t until we returned that we realised there is a small land train that we could have got in to get there. This information could have been included in the write up. The are itself is amazing and I took as many pics as I could, I had prebooked tickets for me and my brother in law to climb the tower which went smoothly. We were collected on time to return back to Livorno town centre.

It was a great experience however, the tour guide didn’t offer any commentary. We are glad to have purchased the tour of the tower. The views from the top of the tower were spectacular. Climbing the tilted staircase was a bit disorienting yet amazing.
