SUMMARY
Our signature day trip to Florence & Pisa is the best way to get the most out of your touring day. We’ll drive you right up to the doorstep of all the major highlights.
 

DETAILS: FLORENCE & PISA from La Spezia

We typically go straight to Florence, which is necessary if you’ve booked a local guide.

Florence
After about a 2-hour drive from the La Spezia we’ll be in Florence, where you’ll spend the balance of the day amidst the beauty and history of the Renaissance. Your driver-guide will give you basic information about nearby sights and the city’s past but you might want to consider a local guide if you like lots of detail or want to be accompanied on foot. Details at the end, following the Rate table. We also offer kid-friendly itineraries with the local guide.

Order of the sights in Florence:

  • Piazzale Michelangelo (photo stop for panoramic shots of the city)
  • Santa Croce (when possible)
  • Piazza del Duomo (cathedral, baptistery, bell tower)
  • Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio
  • Porcellino Market, Ponte Vecchio

In addition to the major highlights we can include such things as the synagogue, Via Tornabuoni (for upscale shopping), San Lorenzo market, the Medici chapels, the central market, the Bargello gallery, etc. Customization of the tour should be requested in advance so your driver can be prepared.

Pisa
On Pisa's “Campo dei Miracoli” you will find not only the world’s most famous bell tower but also the cathedral, baptistery and cemetery, which are all remarkable monuments.

Although our visit of Pisa is brief, there is time to climb the Leaning Tower; it only takes 15 minutes. We can pre-book tickets for you (see the bottom of the page for costs). You'll still have time to see how many creative shots you can get of your group "holding up" the Leaning Tower.

  • The Tower climb is OPTIONAL for an additional fee and must be pre-booked. Children under 8 not permitted to climb.
  • If you'd like to enter the baptistery (acoustics demonstration on the hour and half hour) or campo santo, tickets should be booked in advance.
  • The Pisa cathedral does not open til 10am. We don't recommend going inside but if it's imperative you should let us know in advance. (Note that in some cases it might not be possible to modify the schedule to accommodate this.)
