Private Tour
Overview
Your driver meets you at the cruise pier as you step off your gangway, straight into your private transportation. Your first stop, beating the crowds, will be in Pisa's "Field of Miracles" where you will find the Duomo (cathedral), Baptistery, Campo Santo (cemetery) and, of course, Campanile, better known as the Torre Pendente — the Leaning Tower. Make sure to bring your camera!
On arrival in Florence, you will meet up with your professional guide who will be with you for 3 hours. Entrance to the Accademia Gallery is included and these are skip the line tickets, your guide will accompany you into this museum and give you guided commentary throughout the visit.
You'll get a stunning panoramic view of the city from Piazzale Michelangelo, high on the hill. Then, head to Santa Croce Church, where Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, and Rossini are all buried. After that, you will stop by the Piazza del Duomo to survey the superb Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the second largest church in the world, and the Baptistery with its impressive bronze doors.
You are now in the middle of the pedestrian zone, only five minutes from one of the most sophisticated shopping areas in the world! And of course, enjoy a stop by Piazza della Signoria, home of Palazzo Vecchio, and Ponte Vecchio, the famous 14th-century bridge — home of Florence's gold shops.
Remember that our tours are custom; while we're happy to provide a framework based on the most requested highlights, we specialize in tailoring itineraries to include other places of your choosing (time permitting).
On your way back to port, enjoy a scenic drive through the rolling Chianti hills, lush with vineyards and olive orchards, and visit a charming Chianti winery for some world-famous tastings!
