Private Full-Day Shore Excursion

About this tour

Pair Florence and Pisa in a single day aboard a private minivan with an art historian guide. You'll spend three hours exploring Florence's masterworks, including skip-the-line access to Michelangelo's David at the Accademia, then drive to Pisa for independent time at the Leaning Tower. Your English-speaking driver handles transport from either Livorno or La Spezia port, keeping the group to eight people maximum across eight to nine hours.

What to expect

Your driver collects you from the port in the morning and drives you inland to Florence, where a specialist guide meets you at the Accademia. You'll walk through the gallery at a measured pace, focusing on the sculpture that defines the Renaissance. After the formal tour ends, you have time to grab lunch (on your own) before heading to Pisa. There, you're dropped near the cathedral square with several hours to photograph the tower, wander the piazza, and explore the baptistry and cemetery at your leisure. The return journey to the port takes the route back through the Tuscan hills.
