Although quick paced with a substantial amount of walking, your tour will be extremely rewarding with a drive to Florence. See the highlights of Florence, including Michelangelo’s David and climb to the top of Pisa’s famous leaning tower. You will arrive at Piazzale Michelangelo to enjoy the wonderful panorama of Florence from this unique terrace. In the historical center, you will begin your walking tour. Visit the Galleria Dell'Accademia, where you will see Michelangelo’s masterpiece - the original statue of David. Visit Piazza del Duomo, the religious center of Florence in front of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Piazza della Signoria and walk to Ponte Vecchio for a photo opportunity. You will have free time for lunch on your own and shopping. Meet back at your bus and head to Pisa where you will join your guide for a climb up the 294 steps of the world famous Leaning Tower. In Miracle Square, you will view the Cathedral and Baptistery from the outside and enjoy some free time for photo opportunities or shopping.


Need to Know:

Note: Participants must be at least 8 years of age to climb the Tower. Children under 18 can only enter if accompanied by an adult. No bags are allowed for the Tower visit for security reasons. Even though the tower has reopened to the public, Italian authorities have strict limitations on the amount of persons allowed in per hour/day. The walking distance between the Field of Miracles in Pisa, and the bus parking area is approximately 15 minutes each way. Please note that on public holidays, most major stores could be closed; however, most leather and souvenir shops will be open. Guests who are planning to visit religious sites during free time or on tour, please dress appropriately; no bare shoulders or shorts are allowed. The tour busses are not allowed into the historical centre of Florence. The walking tour in Florence will cover approximately 3 miles. The order of the visits may vary according to the time of booking, but the entire program will be respected. Maps of Florence and Pisa are provided. Due to the intensity of this tour, we do not recommend this excursion for guests with walking difficulties. This tour does not operate on Mondays as the Galleria Dell’Accademia is closed. Guests who go ashore do so with the understanding that they will be mixing with members of the general public.
