Buongiorno! I'm Karine, your private licensed guide for Lucca, Pisa and Florence provinces. I live in Italy but I was born in the south-west of France in 1970. I'm a professional working in tourism and have been organising and escorting individual customers and groups for 30 years! I have a limitless passion for Italy and one of my dreams came true when I settled in Tuscany in 1991, after obtaining my national guide's licence in France. I work as a tour leader in Tuscany and Italy since 1993, I am a licensed guide in Florence, Pisa, Lucca and their respective provinces. I'm a member of the National Association of Touristic Guides (ANGT) and the European Guide Federation (FEG). During these thirty years, I've met all kinds of obstacles in organising trips and, above all, a sea of emotions with customers who've always been ready to share experiences and knowledge. On the other hand, I've learned that customers aren't all the same, to be offered the same tours as everyone else. I like to understand what people like so I can offer them the programme they really want. Working in travel agencies has allowed me to understand the work from the organiser's point of view and my experience behind a desk, together with years and years of contact with customers, has given me the professionalism that only the most varied and numerous experiences can give. Authorized and licensed guide in the provinces of Lucca, Pisa and Florence.

Overview of your Pisa tour

Pisa is not just a photo taken in front of the Tower, but a fascinating trip through the medieval and theological symbolism and simmetry. I see the people are fascinated as me by this culture which is ours. The main monuments were built from the 11th to the 13th century to create harmony and balance for our eyes and our soul. You will be astonished. The tickets to ascend the tower are never included in the tours because there are strong limitations to climb it. Ask me to obtain tickets for it. The tickets for the other monuments can be purchased on site if you wish. No problem if you prefer to look at the monuments outside only.

We really enjoyed our tour of Pisa with Karine. She did an excellent job explaining the history of the cathedral, baptistry and the leaning tower and her explanation increased our appreciation for the artifacts in the hospital and museum shop. She also showed us the non-tourist areas of Pisa and we enjoyed eating in and walking around those parts of the city. We would highly recommend a tour with Karine.

Fantastic tour! We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with Karine. She is very well informed and is able to communicate a lot of history in a compelling way. The tour was well paced and excellently curated to include Piazza Dei Miracoli as well as the old city and on to the modern Keith Haring mural. Karine gave excellent restaurant and museum suggestions. We hope to tour Lucca with Karine in the future!

Karine was a wonderful tour guide. We were a family group (baby, granny, dog...) and Karine answered all our questions after explaining the interesting buildings and monuments of Pisa. Within a short walk in the old part of Pisa she also gave us some insider tips for restaurants and bars. And on our last evening we went to one of her recommendations - a restaurant in the oldest tower of Pisa - and really enjoyed it.

Karine is an absolutely amazing tour guide. She knows quite literally everything about Pisa, and our time with her was delightful. We'd done a couple of cattle-car group tours of the Miracle Square previously, but those experiences paled in comparison with what Karine shared with us. The symbolism of the Baptistry, it's mirror in the Cathedral, and the amazing restored frescoes are missed by those who just run up and down the Tower.

Karine is an absolutely amazing tour guide. She knows quite literally everything about Pisa, and our time with her was delightful. Understanding the history of Pisa, how the tower houses were used and transformed into the current city was mind boggling. I can't recommend her enough!

Karine was one of the most informative and passionate guides we have found in italy todate. We did a Pisa walking tour that whilst not a lot of area was covered the information on the monuments we we visited kept us interested at all times. We could have expanded the walking tour into pisa central but we found we had brain "overload" so opted for a drink and chat option instead. Karine has a Passion and knowledge for her profession that is commendable.

Your Pisa tour itinerary

Pisa, wealthy maritime republic and powerful city since the 11th century, displays all its grandeur in the masterpieces: - The cathedral, one of the most beautiful in Italy with a coffered ceiling. - The Tower: slender and delicate with all the arches which give it a lightness. - The Baptistry with its perfect echo and the sculptures from the end of 13th c. - The Camposanto and the charming gothic corridors covered of frescoes and roman sarcofagi. Transportation is not included. Ask me for a quotation from your harbour/accommodation.
