Detailed itinerary

After about a forty-minute drive to Pisa, your driver will drop you off right at the Campo dei Miracoli, saving you twenty minutes of walking from where tour buses must park. You will have 30-45 minutes to visit the Campo dei Miracoli (there is no charge to enter the campus and view the monuments from the exterior). Besides the Leaning Tower, the Field of Miracles contains the cathedral, baptistery, and monumental cemetery. If you intend to enter any of the monuments or climb the Leaning Tower, we kindly request that you coordinate the timing with us to not create problems with the day's itinerary.

After a 75-minute drive from the port of Livorno, we'll arrive in Florence. Our adventure begins in Piazzale Michelangelo, high on a hill above the Arno River, where you'll be able to take impressive photos of the spectacular Florence cityscape. In the historic centre, your driver will take you on a little panoramic tour of Florence including Santa Croce, the cathedral, PIazza della Repubblica, Porcellino Market, Piazza della Signoria, and Ponte Vecchio. While traveling, your driver will explain the history of Florence and give you some background information on all the monuments. Then you'll have some free time to explore the city on your own.
