Your Florence to Pisa day begins with meeting your local guide and small group of no more than 14 people at 8.45am in Central Florence. Hop aboard a private, air-conditioned minibus and settle in for the scenic ride through the rolling hills of Tuscany to Pisa.

Arriving in the city, your guide will lead you on a full Pisa tour around the stunning Piazza dei Miracoli (A UNESCO World Heritage Site), including a tour inside the Pisa Cathedral, the outside of the Baptistery, and the celebrated Leaning Tower. You'll then get tower climb tickets so you can walk to the top of the leaning tower for the unique (slanted) view.

You'll have some free time to explore Pisa city center, then hop back into your minibus and head out to the hills where you'll visit a local winery for wine tastings and a gourmet lunch featuring fresh, local ingredients that change seasonally.

Your final stop is the beautiful city of Lucca, one of the Tuscany's most admired small cities. Enjoy a guided stroll through the most interesting parts of the city, stopping outside the most revered churches and giving you some background on the violent history of the region. Then you'll have some time to explore on your own. Hopping back in the car, your Pisa day trip from Florence will have you back in Florence by approximately 6pm, just in time to grab a shower and head out for dinner.
