About this tour
A 14-hour private journey from Rome through Tuscany's two most celebrated art cities. Start in Pisa with the Leaning Tower and cathedral complex, then drive into rolling hills toward Florence. After lunch on your own, a guide leads you through Florence's Renaissance landmarks—Michelangelo's David at the Accademia, the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and the goldsmiths' bridge. You'll return to Rome in the evening with an air-conditioned vehicle, private driver and assistant throughout.

What to expect
Your driver collects you early and you'll spend the morning travelling north. Pisa's cathedral precinct is compact—expect crowds, especially near the Tower—so arrive with clear eyes. Tickets are timed, so you won't queue indefinitely. By early afternoon you're in Florence's centre with free rein for lunch; most find 90 minutes enough to eat and rest. Your guide then takes over, moving at a steady pace through the historic core. The Accademia is busy even with advance booking, so your guide will help you make the most of brief time with David. Late afternoon drive back to Rome covers roughly 270 kilometres—listen to music, read, or simply watch the landscape change.
Good to know
Tower access is hourly and not wheelchair-accessible, so book early. Lunch isn't included—budget accordingly. Wear comfortable shoes for substantial walking in both cities. Pisa and Florence are warm and crowded in peak season. The vehicle and all public spaces on tour are wheelchair-accessible.
