Walking Tours di Pisa
dove l’arte incontra il cibo
Pisa è famosa in tutto il mondo per la sua Torre Pendente che rende unica la Piazza dei Miracoli, insieme con la Cattedrale, il Battistero e il Camposanto, ma chi conosce il resto della città che ne fa una vera gemma della Toscana?
Quale modo migliore di scoprire le sue bellezze più nascoste che attraverso un walking tour, una passeggiata della durata di 2/3 ore?
L’itinerario prevede brevi soste presso enoteche, laboratori di artigianato pisano e locali storici che si trovano sul percorso, a completamento di piazze e scorci architettonici che parlano di un antico passato (tra cui: Piazza dei Cavalieri, Piazza delle Vettovaglie, Palazzo Agostini-Venerosi, Palazzo Gambacorti), nonché punti visuali suggestivi della città.
Prima di raggiungere Borgo Stretto e fare tappa presso una pasticceria attiva dal secolo scorso, visiteremo il Caffè dell’Ussero, che ha ospitato illustri personaggi fin dal 1775 - quali Giosuè Carducci, Indro Montanelli, Antonio Tabucchi, John Ruskin, Charles Dickens, Gabriele D'Annunzio, ed Emile Zola – per poi passare da una bottega orafa e una legatoria artigianale dove ci verranno mostrati manufatti esclusivi (l’oreficeria e la lavorazione delle pelli hanno una tradizione antichissima in Toscana), e quindi concludere la nostra passeggiata con un aperitivo al Keith Cafè, davanti al murale ''Tuttomondo'' di Keith Haring, o con una degustazione di vini e formaggi presso La Dolce Vite, una delle migliori enoteche delle antiche vie di Mezzogiorno.
Prenotando un walking tour con Martina Manfredi, Guida Turistica e storica dell’arte, che ha studiato all’estero per diversi anni, avrai la garanzia di una maggiore conoscenza di questa graziosissima città, per il tempo che potrai dedicarle.

''Take a walk back in time''..
A fascinating walk through the narrow street of Volterra,a real Etruscan Jem and one of the finest and lesser known hilltop towns tucked away in the heart of Tuscany.
The ''magic and mysterious'' Volterra has its roots in three thousand years of history and the fact it is possible to find evidence and traces from every historical period gives the city a unique aspect.
Starting from Piazza Martiri della Liberta, we walk down to ‘Porta all’Arco’, rare example of Etruscan military architecture, gateway belonging to the 4th century BC city walls, then up to Piazza San Giovanni with the antique Cathedral and Baptistery; a few steps away: Piazza dei Priori, symbol of the civic and political power, and two of the most interesting examples of Medieval buildings: the Buomparenti tower-houses.
Proceeding along Via dei Sarti, the Reinassance Palazzo Minucci-Solaini, housing the city picture gallery, stands out. Withing the end of the tour, the astonishing view over the remains of a Roman theatre and Roman baths.
Not to mention the exclusive alabaster workshops (we will visit one of the most famous in town).
This tour can be tailored according to your needs and interests.
If you wish it could be added or changed with:
-A stroll up to the Park Enrico Fiumi where the ancient acropolis was placed and where today stands a Renaissance Fortress now a top security prison.
- Etruscan museum Guarnacci
- Pinacoteca (city picture gallery)
- Palazzo dei Priori (Town hall palace)
- tasting of typical local products
Duration: 2/3 hours

I am an art historian from the Université de Montréal. Then, I am quite picky about the quality of art guides. I have to say that I have been very satisfied with Martina because she is highly competent about the art treasures and places in Pisa. She was able to answer all my picky and annoying questions!! The tour I did was the one BEYOND THE TOWER, during last march. Of course I know the lining t... Read more...

Your English skills were excellent and we can't thank you enough for helping make our visit to Pisa so memo... Read more...

It was a great way to start my Pisa visit with a Volterra tour with Martina. Very welcoming and highly enriching.With an extensive academic background in art, it is then easy to understand the whole history of ''what, why, when, who'' and even notice how architectural culture and historic events combine to give you the Tuscany we know today.
Great guide and great city. Two thumbs up
