About this tour
Explore two medieval Tuscan towns in a single 9-hour outing from La Spezia Port. Pisa and Lucca showcase strikingly different characters—Pisa built on Roman foundations with its famous leaning tower, Lucca enclosed by Renaissance walls and laid out like a Roman garrison. Your private driver handles transport and commentary from the vehicle, leaving you free to wander the piazzas, climb towers, and browse local shops at your own pace. Optional wine tasting at a Montecarlo vineyard available on request.
Highlights
- Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli and the iconic leaning tower
- Lucca's intact Renaissance fortifications and cobbled streets
- Roman street grid still visible in Lucca's layout
- Medieval architecture spanning centuries of Tuscan history
- Optional Montecarlo wine tasting if pre-arranged
- Private air-conditioned transport from port to towns
What to expect
Your driver collects you from La Spezia Port and drives you to Pisa, where you'll have time to navigate the cathedral precinct, snap photos from various angles, and explore the surrounding alleys. After Pisa, you head to Lucca, a walled city where you can stroll the top of the fortifications, duck into galleries and churches at your leisure, and hunt for lunch at local trattoorie. Your driver provides running commentary during drives but cannot accompany you into museums or religious sites due to local labour agreements. The pace is yours—some visitors shop and café-hop, others climb towers or linger in churches.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included, so budget for eating in either town. Wine tastings at Montecarlo require advance request and aren't guaranteed. Drivers speak English but aren't official guides. Collapsible wheelchairs are welcome, though vehicles lack wheelchair ramps. Infants can travel in prams or with car seats on request.
