We very much enjoyed the 3 hour walking tour through Pisa with Petra. She blended her knowledge about history, art, architecture, culture, traditions and modern living in the city in a very entertaining and stimulating way. Her tour found the right balance between the top sights, the more hidden spots and the beauty of the wider city. She was very flexible to adjust the tour to our interests and was happy to address all our questions. We left her tour inspired to read more about the city. Happy to recommend her guide service. Very enjoyable and interesting tour

We had a fantastic private tour of Pisa with Petra on the Highlights & Hidden Gems of Pisa experience. Petra was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at ease straight away. Her knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and lesser-known stories brought Pisa to life in such an engaging way. The balance of famous sights and hidden corners was perfect, and the pace of the tour felt just right, relaxed but full of fascinating insights. (… and the cakes were delicious) We came away with a much deeper appreciation of Pisa than we ever could have on our own. Highly recommended for anyone wanting more than just the Leaning Tower!A real appreciation of Pisa

Petra is a wonderful guide. I am a travel advisor who sought out Petra’s services for clients visiting Pisa. She custom designed a tour for them, communicated with me each step of the way, coordinated with the drivers who were dropping off and picking up my clients and provided a great experience of Pisa. I highly recommend her and will use her again, Valerie BaldersonWonderful tour guide!

Petra was great! She contacted us days before to inform us that the tower climb was fully booked but planned an exciting tour of the ground as a workaround and turned out better than the original plan. Having this private tour was fully worth every penny. Petra was extremely knowledgeable and pointed out some facts I could see other guides were missing. She has a real passion for art and being able to articulate what the artist was trying to show in their work while pointing out all of the hidden messages, is second to none. My 17 year old son days later was still stating facts he found most interesting. I cannot recommend Petra enough. Petra is great! Exceeded our expectations

Great tour guide - my friend recommended Petra as he had previously done a tour with her when he visited Pisa in the past. Petra is super knowledgable about the entire city of Pisa and knows all about the history of the major attractions ranging from the towers all the way to the individual buildings in the city square etc.. She also knows good restaurants in the area as well as where all the locals go to eat / drink / party on the weekend. She is super friendly and speaks great English so she can answer any questions you have. My visit to Pisa

il tour in piazza dei miracoli a Pisa è davvero un'idea originale, perfetta per scoprire e anche riscoprire una delle piazze più visitate del mondo. La preparazione e la simpatia di Petra fanno il resto, per una esplorazione nuova, adatta anche a chi conosce già bene il luogo. Il tempo è volato e più si è più ci si diverte! straconsigliato! Originale e divertente

We visited Pisa for the first time in the company of Petra. After waiting for us at Porta Nuova, we walked around Campo dei Miracoli and then moved to Piazza dei Cavalieri where we improvised a quick visit to the Church of Santo Stefano dei Cavalieri. Petra made a beautiful historical excursus for each monument, allowing us to appreciate the details and curiosities that hit-and-run tourists usually don't notice. On her advice, we had a good visit to the Camposanto and attended the custodian's singing in the Baptistery. At the end of the tour, she gave us lots of advice on where to eat typical dishes at affordable prices. We recommend her for her professionalism, joviality and clarity in communication. Thanks Petra, see you next time! Professional and passionate

Ho fatto il tour in Piazza dei Miracoli a Pisa con il gioco finale della caccia al dettaglio. È stato davvero piacevole! Petra è molto preparata e ha saputo rendere il tour interessante, ricco di informazioni ma mai noioso. Il gioco finale poi è una chicca che ti permette di scoprire ulteriori particolari della piazza mentre ti diverti sfidando i tuoi amici. Straconsigliato!Straconsigliata!
