The leaning tower is only 5 minute walk from Train station. Pisa leaning tower ticket price is might be little high but that's the better opt to take.

Guide was amazing

The tour guide was really enthusiastic and knowledgable and we really liked her, however for the price of the tour, obviously excluding the cost of the tower tickets, I felt it was very expensive.
