Its famous inclination has made it one of the most visited monuments in the world. A successful example of Pisan Romanesque art, it is surrounded by six floors of galleries which seem to unfold in a light spiral. Bonanno Pisano began its construction in 1173 and it was a century later that Giovanni di Simone tried to correct its inclination without, however, being able to complete his work. The Baptistery: this majestic circular building (110 m in circumference) is covered with a singular dome, ending in the shape of a small, truncated pyramid and topped with a statue of Saint John the Baptist.

Amalfi ride was an amazing experience! Scary and exciting at the same time. Accomodation was great, and we really liked how the itinerary was designed, because there is a ton of interesting content and still enough time for relaxation.

Overall good. Tour guides we all exceptional. The transportation was a small issue, one ride cane over 30 minutes early (luckily we were ready). The other ride scheduled to take us back to the airport arrived 45 minutes late. Hotel in Rome a bit older but the staff and location very nice. A great restaurant across the street.

I loved everything about this tour. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer! Tui Italia took care in answering all our questions, and handling our delayed flight, as well as our early departure request. Each of the local guides along the way did a good job...especially Marco who led our excursion to Capri. The accomodations were clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this trip.
