Itinerary - Florence and Pisa Shore Excursion
Meet Your Driver at Livorno Port
Your private driver awaits right at the docks with a luxury, air-conditioned sedan or minivan. Enjoy a smooth one / one and half hour drive through the Tuscan countryside as you head toward the historic heart of Florence, where your private guide will meet you.
Private Walking Tour of Florence
Your guided exploration begins at the extraordinary Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the iconic Duomo. Admire Brunelleschi’s magnificent dome, the San Giovanni Baptistery—one of Florence’s oldest structures—and Giotto’s elegant Gothic bell tower.
Strolling along Via Calzaiuoli, you’ll see Orsanmichele, the former granary turned church adorned with Renaissance sculptures. The route leads to Piazza della Signoria, Florence’s open-air museum framed by the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, the dramatic statues of the Loggia dei Lanzi, and the Fountain of Neptune.
Continue through the Uffizi courtyard to reach the Arno River, where the charming Ponte Vecchio awaits—its medieval jewelry shops hanging gracefully over the water.
Optional: Accademia Gallery (Skip-the-Line)
Enhance your tour with a visit to the Accademia Gallery to see Michelangelo’s world-famous David. This option can be added directly during booking to secure skip-the-line tickets.
Lunch & Optional Scenic Stop
After the walking tour, enjoy free time for lunch in a typical Florentine trattoria—your guide can recommend authentic local spots. If time allows, your driver may take you to Piazzale Michelangelo, one of the most breathtaking panoramic viewpoints over Florence’s skyline.
Discover Pisa & the Piazza dei Miracoli
Your day continues with a private transfer to Pisa, home to one of Italy’s most iconic squares: the Piazza dei Miracoli (“Square of Miracles”). Here you can take photos of the legendary Leaning Tower of Pisa and see the other impressive nearby monuments: the Romanesque Cathedral (11th–12th century), the impressive Baptistery, adorned with sculptures by Nicola Pisano. All the monuments are located within the same square, making it easy and enjoyable to explore at your own pace.
Optional: Climb the Leaning Tower
If you want to climb to the top, we’ll secure your advance reservation. Simply select this option during the booking process (subject to confirmation, the price will be refunded in case there is no availability).
