Hi, I’m Sonia

I’m Sonia, your enthusiastic local host in Pisa. My heart belongs to Piazza dei Miracoli - the Leaning Tower still takes my breath away (and no, I’ve never climbed it… believe it or not!), along with the Cathedral and Baptistery, each steeped in fascinating symbolism and stories of Pisa’s maritime glory. I also adore Piazza dei Cavalieri, where I celebrated my university graduation, and Borgo Stretto’s bustling market and divine Salza pastries. I know exactly where to find the best hidden trattorias for authentic Tuscan food (and a laugh over the friendly Pisa–Livorno rivalry). Whether wandering through Palazzo Blu’s art exhibitions, soaking in the vibes at Piazza delle Vettovaglie, or strolling to Marina di Pisa for Bocca d’Arno’s charm, I love sharing the history, flavors, and everyday magic of my city.

It is a lovely way to spend the day before a flight climbing the iconic leaning tower and then going on a 2 hour tour with Sonia, ambling through Pisa’s historic and fascinating town - it’s vibrant and has much more to it than we realised. Sonia is a thoughtful and engaging guide and we highly recommend her.
