What to expect
You'll depart Rome early and travel through rolling Tuscan countryside dotted with vineyards before reaching Pisa. After time at the famous piazza complex, it's a midday shift to Florence where a guide walks you through the city's main sights and artworks. The Accademia Gallery is included, home to Michelangelo's David and other significant pieces. Expect a fairly packed schedule—this covers considerable distance and multiple major sites, so pace is brisk rather than leisurely.
Good to know
Lunch isn't provided, so plan where you'll eat. Bring comfortable walking shoes; Florence's centre involves substantial ground-covering on foot. The tour suits all fitness levels, and wheelchair accessibility is available throughout. Confirmation arrives four days prior for single bookings.
