Buongiorno or Buonasera . . . . or just simply CIAO! Here I am! I'm Michela, a licensed tour guide of Pisa & Lucca! Whatever you'd like to know about these two cities, whatever you choose, whether it' one of my listed tours or, if you prefer, a customized one, I'll make sure you have a memorable and unique experience. Remember, after visiting Tuscany, you'll always keep a piece of this beautiful region in your hearts. So, a bit more about me: I live in a town called San Giuliano Terme, about 3 miles from the leaning tower of Pisa and 10 miles from Lucca. My town is famous for its thermal baths, and for being where the Grand Duke of Tuscany used to spend his summer holidays. I always loved travelling myself. I've been several times to the US. I actually lived in Boonton, NJ since I was 3 to 8 years old, and spent some years after that going there on vacation during my school summer break. In my 20s, I spent some time in New York City & San Francisco. Other than the US, I've traveled around Spain, Croatia, Germany, Holland, England, Corsica and in many other places around Italy. This is why I studied Travel & Tourism - I love visiting other countries, taking in their architecture and culture. Being a licensed Tour Guide, I have fun guiding & going all around with travellers: it's like being on vacation too! I really enjoy taking people around, fulfilling their curiosity about art history, architecture and the backstories Lucca and Pisa. I also love when I make travellers laugh and smile for the anecdotes I share as well as the fun facts I mention from the past, such as between the rival cities in Tuscany. When I visit a foreign country, I always want to visit it as a local. I obviously go see the highlights but I also try to find local events like local markets or local festivals. I am really interested in the traditions of other cultures, and that is what I want to do with my guests, try to transmit Italian culture and traditions as much as possible to them. So . . what else? . . . looking forward to meeting you! A presto, Michela I have a National Tour Guide License and a Tour Leader License, both achieved by successfully completing exams, released by the public institution of the Region of Tuscany. I am not a licensed driver. I can't drive my guests in my own car BUT I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. I am not permitted to guide in some private museums since they have their private guides.

On this tour, we'll of course cover the most attractive part of the city, the 'Square of Miracles', a nickname used to describe what was once one of the most magnificent cathedrals of the Mediterranean sea. This is also where the leaning tower of Pisa is located. But our city is not only the leaning tower, Pisa is much more . . it has beautiful squares, churches and its 'Lungarni' - the area along the river Arno that crosses the city from east to west. Giacomo Leopardi, an Italian poet of the 1800s, wrote 'This Lungarno is such a beautiful sight, so broad, so magnificent, so cheerful that it makes you fall in love. I haven't seen anything similar neither in Florence, nor in Milan, nor in Rome". We'll venture into Pisa's oldest part, the early medieval area of the city, where we'll stop at the Ponte di Mezzo, the oldest bridge of the city from which you can have a extraordinary view of the aforementioned 'lungarni'. We will then have a Bruschetta with a glass of craft beer and end the tour with a Gelato!
·We will begin our tour by meeting at Piazza Duomo, also known as Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles). ·After visiting the Dome square, we'll walk along via Santa Maria and reach San Sisto Church. ·Next, we'll visit 2 more squares: Piazza dei Cavalieri & Piazza Dante. ·We'll later see the Torre del Campano. ·We'll then reach yet another square, Piazza delle Vettovaglie. ·Next, we'll walk by Borgo Stretto, one of the main shopping street's in the historical centre. ·The last square we visit will be Piazza della Berlina, before reaching Ponte di Mezzo. ·Afterwards, we'll stop at a Local products shop that sells products of our lands, that they grow in their farm: from the farmer to the buyer. ·We'll then start going back through Via Santa Maria again, passing by a gelato shop for a refreshing treat before returning to Dome square walking along the river.
