Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Pisa and Lucca are two of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany and are not to be missed if you are visiting the area. You will immerse yourself in the history and local life of the two urban areas that are shut in nearness, yet altogether different in identity. An enchanting Tuscan scene will be the casing to your day.

You will discover Pisa along the street that prompts the drift from Florence.

Make the most of your visit with the skip the-line ticket to the Leaning Tower.

Stop 2 Pass by

Our guide will show you the most vital squares and landmarks in Pisa: the popular Piazza dei Miracoli, the Cemetery and the Cathedral.

Stop 3

A while later the visit proceeds to Lucca, where you will have leisure time. It is a particular city of craftsmanship and Renaissance style encompassed by dividers hindered by excellent entryways and defenses. First you will take a lovely stroll individually along an area of the town dividers and appreciate wonderful perspectives over the rooftops, alley's, house-towers, places of worship and great respectable palazzos. At that point you will be directed to the old town focus to see Piazza Anfiteatro, Guinigi tower, St. Martin's Cathedral and the commonplace road of old fashioned shops. End the day with a charming ride back to Florence.
