Alessandro made Pisa truly unforgettable We booked Alessandro's skip-the-line tour of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire trip to Italy. From the moment we met him, his warmth, humor, and genuine passion for his city were impossible to miss. The skip-the-line access alone is worth it, especially on a hot day, but what really set this tour apart was Alessandro himself. His knowledge of the Tower, the Piazza dei Miracoli, and the history of Pisa went far beyond what you'd read in any guidebook. He brought the stories to life in a way that was engaging, entertaining, and never once felt like a rehearsed script. He balanced historical detail with humor and personal anecdotes that made everything feel refreshingly real. If you're visiting Pisa, don't just walk up to the Tower alone, book Alessandro. You'll be glad you did.

Ciao! I'm Alessandro and I'm a local tourists guide of Pisa, Lucca and Volterra since 2008, but everyone here calls me Ale. My country is my passion and a treasure that wants to be discovered and I'm here to let you dive into my world. I was born in Pisa and grew up in an XII century tower, spending my childhood in the surroundings of the Leaning Tower. My parents have been the first tourists guides I have evere had and they taught me that even an empty wall could be an open book to read. I'm a theatrical actor, since I was 11 and I have a degree in foreign languages ​​(English, Spanish and Romanian) and a specialization in medieval art. It will be a privilege to show you my city, my traditions, to make you feel home, leaving everything behind. We can work together to create your perfect tour. On my favorite book, The legend of 1900, you can read this: "You're never really done for, as long as you've got a good story and someone to tell it to". I really believe it and I'll tell you all the stories I have learnt. Ready? Andiamo! (let's go!)

The family said it was very good! They had a lot of fun in this tour and Alessandro was very punctual.
Alessandro was amazing! Very knowledgeable, personable and overall wonderful to spend time with. We highly recommend him for a tour. If you can arrange it, the private tour was well worth the money. We got to ask any and all questions and left feeling like we knew so much more about this beautiful city!! Thank you Alessandro!!!
Alessandro is the type of person who gets along with everyone. He is extremely friendly and personable. He is not only knowledgeable, but when he teaches, his excitement is palpable. I was so disappointed that our tour ended, that we became Facebook friends. Not only do I recommend his tour guide services, but I will guarantee you that you will be missing out if you choose someone else.
Alessandro really knows Pisa and made it wonderfully accessible to us on our recent half day. He made sure that we saw the city from every perspective, including from atop a classic Arno riverfront hotel that he knew from his own childhood. We saw views that no other tourists got to see. Spectacular! Alessandro loves his city and caused us to love it for more than the Tower. Bravissimo, Alessandro!
Phenomenal--my second visit to Pisa, and it was SO much better having taken this tour!
