About this tour

Push north to Pisa to see the famous leaning tower before heading back to Rome. The 11-hour itinerary covers considerable ground, giving you a genuine sense of both cities without getting bogged down in museum queues.

What to expect
Expect a brisk but manageable day. You'll be collected from your Rome hotel in the morning and driven north into Tuscany. Once in Florence, your guide leads you through the city centre on a two-hour walking tour—enough time to see major sights from the outside, photograph key piazzas, and grasp the scale of Renaissance achievement, but not to linger inside museums or cathedrals. After Florence, you'll drive to Pisa for views of the tower and surrounding monuments. The pace is steady, with the bulk of time spent in transit and on foot rather than sitting in one spot.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes; two hours on Florence's cobbled streets adds up. Lunch is not included, so budget for a meal in Florence or Pisa. The itinerary doesn't permit interior visits due to time constraints. Strollers and infant seats available; not suitable if you have significant heart or mobility concerns.
