About this tour
Your private driver collects you from your Florence hotel for an eight-hour countryside loop through Tuscany's rolling landscape. You'll visit Pisa's famously tilted cathedral tower and explore San Gimignano, a hilltop settlement studded with medieval stone towers and narrow cobbled streets. The pace is yours to set, with time to wander each location before returning to your accommodation.

What to expect
Your driver picks you up in the morning and handles navigation while you watch the landscape shift from Florence's outskirts into gentler countryside. Pisa comes first—you'll have time to circle the famous leaning monument and see the cathedral complex. The drive to San Gimignano takes around 90 minutes. Once there, you're free to climb the main streets, duck into side passages, and soak up the medieval architecture at your own rhythm. Expect cobblestones, occasional steep sections, and quiet piazzas. The return journey to Florence allows for reflection on the day.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes and water. Food and drink aren't included, so plan café stops in either town. Infant seats and prams are available on request—note this when booking. August heat can be intense; start early if possible.
