Overview
Our 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!
When we arrive in Florence, 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, your driver will park in 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 well stop by Piazza della Signoria, home of Palazzo Vecchio, and Ponte Vecchio, the famous 14th century bridge -- home of Florence's gold shops. Art lovers will be glad to know we can pre-book tickets for the Accademia and Uffizi galleries, enabling you to jump the line so you'll have time to sit down in a genuine trattoria and sample a bit of Tuscan cuisine!
Remember that our tours can be customized; while we are happy to provide a framework and suggestions of the most requested highlights, we specialize in tailoring itineraries to include other places of your choosing (time permitting). Let us know where you want to visit and we can put the itinerary together for you!
