Detailed itinerary

The first stop will be in Pisa, where you'll have ample time to admire and photograph the iconic Leaning Tower and other remarkable monuments in the Piazza dei Miracoli, including the Baptistery and the Cathedral.

The Leaning Tower began to tilt during its construction in the 12th century, due to soft ground that couldn’t support its weight. This tilt worsened throughout the building process, which was completed in the 14th century. However, the tower was stabilized through extensive restoration work between 1993 and 2001, reducing the tilt to a safer 3.97 degrees.

Climbing to the top of the Leaning Tower is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, offering a stunning panoramic view of Pisa and the surrounding area. The base ticket price for the climb is €20. Don’t forget to capture a unique photo with this famous monument—an unforgettable moment on your Tuscan adventure.

After visiting Pisa, we’ll head to a traditional Tuscan farm for lunch at Azienda Agricola Carmignani, a family-run business with a rich winemaking history dating back to 1386. Here, the perfect blend of ancient tradition and modern technology comes together to produce exquisite wines, crafted from beautiful, centuries-old vines.

The farm is located in a prime area with optimal sun exposure for the vineyards, which allows the production of one of the finest white wines in this D.O.C. region, highly appreciated by Bacchus himself. You’ll be intrigued by the winemaking process, and the house sommelier, Elena, will greet you with a welcome toast.

Enjoy a 3-course lunch featuring homemade pasta, fresh bread, cured meats, ham, Pecorino cheese, and more. Each dish will be paired with a carefully selected wine, highlighting the flavors of this exceptional region.

In the early afternoon, we’ll make our final stop in Lucca, where you'll have free time for a self-guided tour of the historic city center.
A visit to Lucca means stepping into the birthplace of composer Giacomo Puccini, and exploring layers of history and art, from the Roman era to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the 19th century. Don’t miss Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, an oval-shaped square built on the site of a Roman amphitheater, or the Duomo di San Martino, a beautiful cathedral with intricate artwork. For panoramic views, climb Torre Guinigi, famous for its rooftop garden.

The city’s charming walls, crowned with trees and pedestrian areas, are perfect for a relaxing walk or bike ride, offering views of the town and surroundings. Before you set off, our driver will provide basic directions and tips to help you navigate Lucca.
Lucca is magical in every season, with its picturesque streets and historic buildings.
After the visit, we’ll head back to the port of Livorno.
