Best Pisa Baptistery Tours & Trips

Located beside the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Duomo Pisa, the Pisa Baptistery of St. John is the second building to be constructed in the Piazza dei Miracoli. Taking 200 years to construct, the Baptistery demonstrates the transition in architectural styles in Italy from Romanesque to Gothic, as the lower half is based on Romanesque techniques while the upper half features Gothic, pointed arches. It was constructed by Italian architect Diotisalvi, who's signature can be found on the Baptistery's pillars with the date when they were placed there, 1153.

7-Day Southern Adventure Loop Tour from Paris/Lucerne: Italy, Switzerland, France, Vatican City, Monaco

Amazing places

We visited some amazing places which I believe it would have been impossible to do without these guys. It was very convenient and we had an awesome tour guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our next trip. Some of the hotel rooms were too small but I guess it is to be expected in Europe and the money spent.

11-Day Southern European Capitals: Amsterdam to Paris, Venice, Rome

Best vacation I’ve ever had!

I couldn’t believe how much we got to see in just over a week—Amsterdam’s windmills, Belgian waffles, Paris museums, Swiss Alps, and Italian masterpieces. Versailles was breathtaking, Florence was magical, and Venice felt like a movie set. The mix of history, culture, and fun made every single day unforgettable. Would 100% recommend to anyone who wants a big Europe experience without the stress of planning everything alone.
