What to expect
Your driver collects you and steers toward Pisa first, arriving with time to circle the Leaning Tower and explore the baptistry and cathedral plaza at leisure. After roughly two hours there, you'll head south into the Arno valley toward Florence. The drive takes ninety minutes; many travellers nap or chat. In Florence, you'll have several hours to navigate the compact centre—the Duomo with its distinctive dome, the Uffizi's galleries, the Arno bridges, and side streets thick with Renaissance workshops and cafés. Your driver remains on call, ready to fetch you or suggest parking spots.
Good to know
Admission fees and lunch are separate. Book entry tickets to major sites in advance to avoid queues. Comfortable walking shoes essential—Florence's cobbles are unforgiving. Driver speaks English but isn't a licensed guide, so hire a local expert if you want deep-dive art history.
