About this tour
A nine-hour coastal escape from Carrara that combines Pisa and Florence in one sweep. Your driver navigates quiet Tuscan roads, stopping at Pisa's famous tilted monument and cathedral before pushing south to Florence's Renaissance heart. You'll move at your own pace through each town—the guide offers roadside commentary, but entry fees and lunch are yours to arrange. Best suited for those comfortable with moderate walking and self-directed exploration.
Highlights
- Leaning Tower of Pisa at close range
- Pisa Cathedral and baptistry complex
- Florence's historic centre on foot
- Tuscan countryside en route
- Small group, private vehicle transport
- English-speaking driver commentary
- Air-conditioned comfort between stops
What to expect
You'll be collected from Carrara and driven through rolling countryside toward Pisa, arriving with two to three hours to explore independently. The Leaning Tower dominates—climb it if you choose, or study the Piazza dei Miracoli's architectural ensemble from ground level. A short drive south lands you in Florence mid-afternoon. You've roughly three hours to navigate the Duomo, cross the Ponte Vecchio, and wander the Uffizi neighbourhood. Your driver won't enter museums or churches (union rules), so entry decisions and pacing are entirely yours. Expect plenty of walking on cobblestones and standing.
Good to know
Bring comfortable shoes and water. Lunch isn't provided—budget for it in both towns. Drivers offer context from the vehicle but aren't licensed guides. Collapsible wheelchairs can be accommodated; fixed wheelchairs cannot. Infant seats available on request at no extra charge.
