About this tour
Explore Pisa and Florence over eight hours with a private driver-guide in an air-conditioned minivan. Start at Pisa's Campo dei Miracoli, taking in the tilted tower, baptistery, cathedral and cemetery before heading to Florence. There you'll visit the massive Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral, wander through Palazzo Vecchio's piazza, climb to Piazzale Michelangelo for sweeping city views, and pay respects at Santa Croce where Michelangelo and Galileo are buried. Groups max out at eight people, with hotel pickup included.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from accommodation and drives north to Pisa first. You'll have time to explore the Campo dei Miracoli complex independently—the tower tickets are sorted—before moving on. The journey to Florence takes roughly an hour. Afternoons are split between major churches and civic spaces; expect moderate walking between stops and modest crowds at popular sites. You're free to set your own pace at each location. The guide offers context and logistical support rather than lengthy commentary.
Good to know
Lunch isn't provided; plan a café stop in either city. Wear comfortable shoes for steady walking. Prams and infant seats are available. The minivan is air-conditioned but narrow Tuscan streets mean tight parking in town centres.
