11 Pisa Audio Tours Worth Booking

1.Timed Entrance to Leaning Tower Pisa & Cathedral with Audio

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 385 reviews · from $36Our pick

Meet at the Leaning Tower’s security check with your reserved ticket, climb its steep, tilted staircase, and enjoy views across Pisa. Your ticket also covers the cathedral, where an English phone audio guide explains the mosaics, sculptures, and artworks. Allow extra time for bag storage and possible delays on busy days.

“The ticketing and entrance instructions are not accurate or detailed enough. You must go to the ticket office. Put your bag in a locker. You have to collect your bag to free the locker before you visit the cathedral. The cathedral doesn’t open until 10, so if you have the 9 am tower entrance- you have a lot of time to waste.”

“This was, unfortunately, one of the worst travel experiences I’ve ever had. We took the train from Rome to Pisa specifically to see the Leaning Tower, only to be denied entry because we were told our tickets were invalid. According to staff at the site, this wasn’t the first time they’d seen issues with tickets from this particular tour agent they even suggested that the company should be reported. We spent over an hour trying to resolve the issue with Viator’s customer service. After finally getting connected, the representative Jamille disconnected just minutes into the conversation. Reconnecting and repeating everything again only added to the stress, especially with my family…”
