What to Expect from the Tour
Starting at the Piazza dei Miracoli, you’ll meet your guide and photographer in front of the Sinopie Museum ticket office. This spot is the heartbeat of Pisa’s most iconic scene, with the Leaning Tower, Cathedral, and Baptistery forming a breathtaking backdrop. The first photo shoot here lasts about 30 minutes, allowing you to pose with the Tower and its surroundings without feeling rushed. Since the square is free of admission charges for this session, you won’t need to worry about extra costs—just your camera or phone if you want to take additional shots.
Moving on, the tour leads you through Piazza dei Cavalieri, home to the Scuola Normale Superiore, and down Borgo Stretto, a lively street filled with shops and cafes. The second set of photos takes place along the Lungarni di Pisa near Ponte di Mezzo. The view of historic buildings—like the Palazzo Blu—overlooking the river makes for a picturesque scene. Here, you’ll spend another 30 minutes capturing romantic, scenic shots that highlight Pisa’s charming riverside ambiance.
Next, you’ll cross the bridge to reach Corso Italia, where the vibrant mural Tuttomondo by Keith Haring awaits. This large, colorful artwork from 1989 is the largest mural in Europe and offers a striking, modern contrast to the historic architecture. Your photographer will help you pose among the bold colors and dynamic forms for roughly 30 minutes of lively photos.
Finally, the tour wraps up at Erili Viaggi, a convenient location close to Pisa Centrale station. Here, you’ll pick up a free printed copy of one of your images, with the remaining photos sent to you via email after the tour. It’s a neat way to leave Pisa with tangible memories rather than just digital ones.
What Makes This Tour Stand Out
The personalized approach is a major plus. Unlike generic sightseeing trips, you’re the focus—posing at the right angles, with guidance on how to look your best. The professional photographer ensures you get high-quality, well-composed images, a huge advantage if you want to share your trip in style or create lasting souvenirs.
The small group size and private setting mean you’re free to enjoy the city’s sights without feeling hurried or overwhelmed. The flexible itinerary allows for relaxed photo sessions, perfect for those who prefer quality over quantity.
The Value of the Experience
At $202.44, the price might seem steep for just a few photos, but considering the professional editing, personalized service, and the quality of the photos, it’s a worthwhile investment—especially for families, couples, or solo travelers wanting memorable keepsakes. Reviews highlight how “we had such a FANTASTIC time,” emphasizing the friendly guides and stunning views that make the experience memorable.
Considerations and Tips
Since the tour lasts only a few hours, it’s best suited for those who want a quick, high-impact experience rather than a lengthy exploration of Pisa’s museums or underground sites. Also, be mindful of the weather—this tour is weather-dependent, and poor conditions could cause cancellations or rescheduling.
To maximize your experience, wear comfortable shoes for walking, and arrive on time to start your photo sessions without feeling rushed. Bringing along a smartphone or extra camera can also be helpful if you want to take additional pictures outside the professional shots.
