About this tour
This nine-hour private tour departs Livorno Port to explore two of Italy's most significant artistic centres. You'll spend the morning wandering Pisa's cathedral square, taking in the Leaning Tower, Duomo, and Baptistery before heading south to Florence. The afternoon unfolds as a self-guided walk through Renaissance landmarks—Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and Piazzale Michelangelo among them—with your driver available to ferry you between sites if the pace feels relentless. You're back at port by 5 PM.

What to expect
After collection from Livorno, you'll drive roughly an hour to Pisa's cathedral square. The monuments are clustered together; spend time on the grass or circling the marble buildings. Then it's another ninety minutes to Florence, where you have three hours of free time. The city centre is navigable on foot, though distances add up—your driver can intercept you at key points rather than forcing a full loop. Major sites are exterior-viewable without tickets. Expect crowds at popular spots like Ponte Vecchio and the Duomo. Wear comfortable shoes. You'll need to sort your own lunch.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included; find a café near Piazza della Signoria. A professional guide can be arranged a week ahead for an extra fee. Strollers and infant seats are available. The route works for all fitness levels, though Florence involves hills and uneven cobblestones. Bring sunscreen and a water bottle.
