Martina was AWESOME!!
Both myself and my husband are history fans, and so being able to do a deep dive into the history of some of Pisa's biggest landmarks, as well as the trip out to Lucca was a big plus!
We started the day in Pisa, of course seeing the Tower, but also going into the Cathedral, the Baptistry, and the Cemetery. Martina was so knowledgeable about the Art History as well as Local history, we spend hours going over the small details in the carvings, frescoes, and architecture in the buildings here- as well she even came to the top of the tower with us to point out some of the geological curiosities!
Then we went out to Lucca, and spent the afternoon touring the city and walking the walls - Definitely bring your walking shoes, but you will not be disappointed! Lucca is such a peaceful and relaxing place, when we come back to Italy we're definitely spending a few days there.
Martina herself was so wonderful too! She really got a feel for what we were looking to explore and experience, and customized our tour to to take us slightly off the beaten track for some absolute gems that only locals would know about- Cannot recommend her enough!
