Itinerary
Discovery Pisa: Leaning Tower and Miracle Square one the most important monument in the World Leaning Tower of Pisa. The bell tower of the cathedral of Pisa is known to visitors as simply "Pisa's Leaning Tower ." It's the most famous of all the magnificent structures on the "Piazza dei Miracoli" Climbing to the Leaning tower, must be booked for a fee, several days before
Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore The very heart of Florence is found at Piazza del Duomo -- Cathedral Square.. Here you can view the spectacular Duomo, the Baptistry, and Giotto's Bell Tower in their delicious hues of sage green, white, and dusky pink. The sheer magnitude of the cathedral is sure to amaze you, as is the beauty of Brunelleschi's cupola, the dome that is yet a testament to the engineering genius of the architect and the daring patronage of the Medici family.
This Square, high above the city and dedicated to the Renaissance sculptor Michelangelo, gives the viewer a breathtaking panorama of Florence (looks like a big postcard) and is the perfect way to start your visit. You ll can watch the Arno riiver traversed by Ponte Vecchio, the splendid duomo dominating the cityscape, the church of Santa Croce, the Medieval tower of Palazzo Vecchio, In the middle of the square there is a bronze copy Michelangelo's masterpiece, the amzing sculpture of David,.
Basilica Santa CroceWhere famous people such as Michelangelo, Machiavelli, Galileo and Rossini are buried. The basilica, which is the largest Franciscan church in the world, is very famous and decorate the many chapels. The most interesting feature of the church is the gigantic Star of David that surrounds the facade.
Built near a Roman crossing, the Ponte Vecchio was until 1218 the only bridge crossing the Arno in Florence. The bridge, as seen today, was built in 1345 after a violent flood destroyed the previous one. During the Second World War the German troops destroyed all the bridges in Florence, except this one. However, they blocked access to the bridge by destroying the two medieval buildings on its sides.
Piazza della Repubblica has been one of the main squares in Florence since Roman times. The current appearance with a rectangular shape with large nineteenth-century buildings is the result of the urban modernization that Florence underwent when it was the capital of Italy (1865-71: in the same period the ancient thirteenth-century walls that surrounded the city were unfortunately demolished, to make room to larger modern avenues).
If one had to choose images that best represented Florence, very probably two would come to mind: Brunelleschi’s spectacular dome, a fixture of Florentine iconography, along with that which is considered one of the most beautiful squares in all of Italy: Piazza della Signoria.

One day in Florence/Tuscany is just not enough... but it was a great experience that has us craving to go back and spent some more time. Our guide/driver, Simone, was wonderful! We asked in advance to adjust the itinerary, since it was our anniversary and we wanted to do something a little special. We were able to add a stop at a vineyard in Tuscany for a wine tasting! During our first stop, in Pisa, Simone began messaging vineyards to verify availability and set the timing we wanted. We drove through Tuscany and he took several pictures of us at a viewpoint on the way to the vineyard. The experience at the vineyard was exquisite, including 7 wines and bread/olive oil for 40E per person. Florence is of course breathtaking, and while it was very hot, the weather was beautiful. We stopped at Piazza Michelangelo and had a few hours to walk around the city center, including the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio, and a delicious Italian lunch with spritzes.
We are glad you enjoyed our tour! Thank you. Best Regards
Carlos our driver was great he worked out with us very quickly what we wanted to see and do. We spent our day very productively and we had a fantastic lunch in Florence with his recommendation.. he was a great driver and nothing was too much trouble.
Dear thanks, for your review. Highly Appreciated!
Great experience getting to see Pisa before the crowds and then on to Florence. Nice to not be a part of the mass tourism busses.
Hi, thanks for your review!! Greeting from Tuscany
Claudio was a fantastic driver and offered wonderful information and suggestions! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip! Highly recommend this excursion.
Thank you! It was a pleasure to meet you. Big hug!!
Claudio was a fantastic driver! He showed us so many places near Florence and Piza that we didn't expect. He picked us up right at the port next to our ship and dropped us off on time. He was personable and knowledgeable of the area. Overall it was a great day in a comfortable vehicle. Highly recommend.
Hi Kristin, thank you so much! I hope to see you again! Big hug
Our driver was very friendly and helpful. We were hoping to hear more information about the areas we passed. It wasn't an informative tour as we expected. When he did talk he was very quiet and it was difficult to hear him in the back of the vehicle Our driver was OK about finishing the tour an hour earlier and picking us up, as we all felt tired.
Hi Jane, thanks for your review, I'm sorry I couldn't satisfy you 100%. I can't always do 100% but, I appreciate that you were quite satisfied. As written in the tour, it is highlighted, that I have never claimed to be a tour guide and I don't provide that type of service, because I am not qualified (Professional License). I hope to see you again and maybe improve my service to you, I have always had 5 star reviews up to now, but despite all this I am always willing to accept any type of constructive criticism. Regards
What a great experience! Claudio was amazing and knowledgeable about the Tuscan province. He provided history and current information to make our trip perfect. Thank you, Claudio!
Hi dear! Thank a lot! It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope to see you again! Big hug
This excursion was great. Our tour guide Claudio was exceptional. He was on time and got us back to the ship timely. He made sure to take us to key places that were MUST SEE and we even had ample time to explore Florence on our own but always staying in communication with us. Definitely recommend this tour!
Thanks Jeannine, your review is much appreciated and helps me to do everything better. Best Regards
Claudio is a wonderful person and guide Great communication prior to the trip, allowed us flexibility to change pick up time and was very accommodating. Great Mercedes van with excellent air conditioning ! Had water in the car and stopped whenever we requested
Hi Christina, thank you for your review, much appreciated! I hope to see you again. A big hug! Greeting from Tuscany. Claudio
Claudio was an amazing guide and driver. I am so glad I decided to go with him for our one day in Florence and Pisa. Claudio is very knowledgeable about the area and allowed use to see and do everything we wanted. Claudio even made a slight detour for use at a winery in the Tuscany Hills so we could pick up some olive oil and wine. When we got into Florence, Claudio made an excellent suggestion for lunch and even went to speak with the restaurant to get us a table. We had penalty of time to see and enjoy all the beautiful architecture without ever feeling rushed. I would highly suggest doing this tour!! Claudio also got use back to our cruise ship with plenty of time to spare.
Dear Madeline, thank you for your review. Hope to see you again. Greetings from Tuscany
