About this tour
A 5–6 hour guided outing from Florence taking in two of Tuscany's standout towns. Start in Pisa with a specialist guide navigating Piazza dei Miracoli and its architectural ensemble, including the famous tilted bell tower and cathedral. Afterwards, wander independently through Lucca's Renaissance streets before returning to Florence. Hotel or port collection and drop-off included.
Highlights
- Climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa with guide context
- Piazza dei Miracoli: cathedral, baptistery, and campanile
- Art historian guide explains Pisan Romanesque architecture
- Self-guided exploration of Lucca's medieval centre
- Return transport to Florence included
What to expect
You'll depart Florence and head straight to Pisa, where your guide meets you at Piazza dei Miracoli. Expect a thorough walkthrough of the square's four major buildings, with particular attention to the tilted campanile and its engineering quirks. If you're climbing, factor in queuing and 294 steps. The guide then leaves you free to navigate Lucca independently—a smaller, walled town with Renaissance charm and less tourist traffic than Pisa. Budget time for a coffee or lunch (not included). Moderate walking throughout; comfortable shoes essential.
Good to know
