About this tour
A 14-hour minivan journey from Rome hitting Pisa's iconic monuments and Florence's masterpieces.

Continue into the medieval heart of the city—the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio—ending at Piazzale Michelangelo for sweeping views across the city's terracotta roofline.

What to expect
Early departure from your Rome hotel in a small group. The minivan drive north passes through gradually changing terrain before Pisa appears—you'll have time to walk around the cathedral complex and photograph the famously tilted tower. After lunch (on you), you'll push into Florence where your guide meets you at the Accademia. Expect crowds around David; the guide navigates you through efficiently. The walking tour then loops through central Florence's major squares and bridges at a measured pace, finishing with a climb to the hilltop viewpoint as light softens across the city.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes—there's substantial walking in both cities. Cathedral and Accademia tickets are included; lunch isn't. The van has WiFi and air conditioning. Not suitable for wheelchair users. Prams and infant seats available. Public transport nearby if you prefer independent exploration.
