My friend and I did the olive picking experience. We were taught about growing olives and shown how they are picked, then we helped pick the olive from a tree they picked out for us. Appreciate the work and skill that goes into growing, harvesting and processing olives into extra virgin olive oil that is the purest and most delicious olive oil you will ever taste. Fabio, one of the family that owns the farm, and Luca our guide, made the experience the best time we had in Italy. We had a lovely lunch on the farm on a beautiful sunny warm day. We ordered some of the oil that would be made with the olives that we helped pick. It came today and we are enjoying the experience all over again. We have already decided we want to go back again! Please don't miss this experience it is the best time you will have!!!

Production and selling of wines and extra virgin olive oil. Tastings and tours in the historical cellar in the castle from the year 1078. We are in the midpoint of Tuscany! You can spent some time with us involved in the amazing landscape knowing something about our production with our unique wines and olive oil.

By far the best wine tasting experience we’ve ever done! Helena was a great host (very good English!). She was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, the vineyard and, of course, the wine. The wine was divine and the olive oil was also very nice. We left with some purchases! Would highly recommend it.

Classic tour in Tenuta Prima Pietra wineyard. Located in the top hill with an amazing view. Step by step you are brilliantly conducted by Alice throughout all the wine making process, appreciating how carefully Prima Pietra wine is made. It is a highly suggested out-of-town trip, where your can spend a couple of hours tasting good wine, chatting about it and appreciating the beautiful panorama offered by Tenuta Prima Pietra terrace.

Leaning Tower of Pisa

It is called the Leaning Tower or the Tower of Pisa but actually it was never used for defending the city; it is part of the religious complex in the Duomo Square and acts as its bell tower. It played an active role in both human and divine timekeeping with its seven bells – one for each musical note – the largest of which, cast in 1655, weighs a full three and a half tonnes! It is known throughout the world for the beauty of its architecture, for its extraordinary tilt, which makes it an authentic miracle of statics, and for the fact that it stands in the universally renowned Piazza dei Miracoli, of which it is certainly the prize jewel. And this is why it is one of the 7 Wonders of the World.

We got a early train from Rome 6.25 up to Pisa. Train was pre-booked and a short walk from where we staying. Train station was easy to navigate and get on right train. We got there around 9ish and then walked 15mins to the Tower. We were lucky with good weather and the sun was out. It was not too busy at this time so you get a better chance to get a clear view to take you mandatory "holding/pushing" the tower. We went up the tower for a good view. Stairs are a little tight but fine for the average person. Good view out across Pisa at the top. We didn't book any of the other buildings so not sure if we missed out there or not but the Leaning Tower was the highlight. Got a 2pm'ish train back to Rome. Helped break up our trip and really glad we planned this in and feel like we ticked it off the bucket list in an efficient way by grouping with Rome visit

Knights’ Square

Walking around this central square, one can find the Palace of the Scuola Normale of Pisa, the Church of S. Stefano and the Palace of the Orologio, where Count Ugolino della Gherardesca was imprisoned and condemned to die, as narrated by Dante in the Divine Comedy.

Reviewed By travelsafer

This is the second most beautiful Piazza in Pisa, after the Piazza dei Miracoli, in my opinion. The shape of this square is that of a trapezoid. The main building is the Palazzo della Carovana, now Scuola Normale Superiore founded by Napoleon, which currently serves as extension of the local university. There are 2 churches and other historic buildings that beautifully sorround the square.

Located on the bank of the Arno River, this church is Pisa's finest example of Gothic fancy.

Reviewed By edm0ndmarcd - Iroquois, Canada

This beautiful Pisan gothic church, which reportedly had one of the thorns of Jesus crown, was moved from a lower level by the river to its current location, just overlooking the river. At sunset, the sunlight enters through the coloured glass windows for a truly magnificent effect.

Camposanto

The Cemetery is the last monument on Piazza del Duomo, its long marble wall flanking the northern boundary and completing its shape. It was founded in 1277.

Reviewed By kgilbert78 - Columbus, United States

This was part of our combo ticket for the Field of Miracles. It was worth it. Wonderful frescos inside, that are still being restored from WW II damage. This is a cemetery building, but also full of art. Get this on your combo ticket! It is amazingly quiet after the hustle and bustle of the outside.

Battistero di San Giovanni

The Baptistery of San Giovanni was founded on 15 August 1152. It is here that the Sacrament of Baptism is administered and the Christian embarks upon the path of Faith. The reason that such a fascinating and enigmatic building was constructed was certainly the wish to endow the cathedral with a worthy adjunct: a Baptistery that, in terms of position, size, materials and style, would be in harmony with the majestic building that already stood opposite.

Reviewed By albinaepaolo - Milan, Italy

It seems to be more attractive outside than inside, but it is enough just to go beyond the surface and you will notice some peculiarities that do not appear: the echo produced by a simple monotonous sound in the center; the contrast between the large baptismal font and the small statue of San Giovanni; the pulpit which although is massive, appears small to those who enter.

Duomo di Pisa

Founded in 1064 and consecrated with great pomp on September 26th 1118, the Cathedral was built in two stages, one by architect Buscheto, who created the original layout with the basilican body with four aisles and one nave, a transept with one nave and two aisles, and the dome on the cross vault, and one by Rainaldo, who extended the building and the façade. The building was not finally completed until the last quarter of the XII century, when Bonannoís bronze leaves were placed on the central door, which were later destroyed by the devastating fire of 1595, after which many of the destroyed works were replaced and a vast decorative plan was started.
