Pisa Tour & Gelato Making!
ChristaMarie125,Jun 11, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Martina is absolutely fantastic! My husband and I toured with her in 2015, and knew when we returned to the area with our family, we would want to tour with her again. This time, we had my 79 year old mother, and our 3 children with us (ages 3, 7, and 10). Martina did an amazing job customizing the tour to our family and kept it so interesting for the kids, searching for different animals on all the buildings. She arranged for my husband and my oldest daughter to climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa and they had a blast. She also made sure there were breaks in the shade for my mother as needed. It was a great day! We got to spend a 2nd day with her as she arranged a special Gelato Making class at Gelateria De'Coltelli for our family for my daughter's 10th Birthday. It was right in Pisa and was so informative and a ton of fun! Their vanilla Gelato is the best I've ever tasted. I can't recommend her enough - she is such a wonderful person and a wealth of knowledge!
Lean into this tour!

5.00We spent the day with Martina in Pisa and had a great experience. Martina is very knowlegeable about all things Pisa and we enjoyed her company very much. Learning about the history of the Tower and climbing to the top (Martina went with us) were the highlights of the tour. The town itslef was also fun to walk through and learn about the Medici influence and college town atmosphere. Highly recommend.
More Than a Tour — A Heartfelt Experience with Martina in Pisa

5.00Our tour in Pisa was wonderful, thanks to our amazing guide Martina. She was incredibly knowledgeable and did a fantastic job customizing the tour to suit our family’s needs, which we truly appreciated. Martina is such a warm and caring person. Halfway up the Pisa tower, my daughter was sick. Without hesitation, our guide went all the way down the tower to bring us tissues and made sure we were okay before continuing. That level of care went far beyond what we expected. My teenage girls were engaged as much as I was for the tour. Her tour was a very positive and memorable experience for our family. We are so grateful for meeting her. We cannot wait to go back to Italy and get the chance to meet with Martina again :D Highly recommended!
Must see tour of Pisa

5.00Wetook a half day private tour with Martina, exploring the buildings on the Leaning Tower campus. It’s so much more than judt one slanted building. Martina was able to illuminate the history and drama behind the Baptistery, the Duomo, the cemetery, and the Leaning Tower so memorably. Her commend of tye history of Pisa is amazing, and she is able to relay it in a casual, entertaining fashion. Highly recommended.
A beautiful day spent in Tuscany

5.00We had an amazing day with Martina touring Tuscany. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Tuscany, and we enjoyed seeing the beautiful and charming hilltowns, touring a pasta factory, visiting an alabaster workshop, a butcher shop, a peccorino cheese shop, and an amazing lunch at a family-owned osteria. We enjoyed local wine and amazing views of Tuscany and would highly recommend a tour with Martina.
Best guide in Pisa!

Great tour guide

5.00My friend and I recently (Dec 31st) went to Pisa on a day trip. Based on the information from Rick Steve's Italy guide book, we were able to secure a private guided tour from Martina. I believe I booked her in October for the December tour. She met us at the entrance, had pre-arranged purchasing tickets for the Duomo, Baptistry, Camposanto, and the Leaning Tower. She guided us through all areas, took the time we wanted, and even climbed the tower with us. She was super helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I'd recommend her to all interested. It was super easy to email her and arrange the tour. (We didn't cycle, but we did a walking tour of the Field of Miracles.)

5.00We had a lovely walking tour of Pisa with Martina! She also shared several facts about Galileo’s life story and showed us his birthplace. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend a tour with Martina to explore Pisa!
Martina is simply the best!

5.00We had the pleasure of touring with Martina Manfredi, and she was absolutely fantastic. Martina guided me, my husband, and six friends on a custom trip, and we couldn’t have been happier with her expertise and hospitality. She was incredibly knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and was so easy to understand. Martina's warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made her one of the standout experiences of our trip. She’s simply the best!
