Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Piazza dei Miracoli, Piazza del Duomo, 56126, Pisa Italy

Enjoy the marvels inside the Piazza dei Miracoli, 4 monuments: The Baptistery (famous for its echo), the Cathedral, the Leaning Tower, the Cemetery. Take a souvenir photo with the background of the leaning Toore that you are holding.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Battistero di San Giovanni, Piazza del Duomo, 56126, Pisa Italy

The Pisa Baptistery of St. John (Italian: Battistero di San Giovanni) is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical building in Pisa, Italy. Construction started in 1152 to replace an older baptistery, and when it was completed in 1363, it became the second building, in chronological order, in the Piazza dei Miracoli.
The shape of the building, the material used, the distribution of the interior spaces given by the columns and the space between the two domes make the Baptistery create an incredible effect of acoustic resonance, better known as Echo. The sound spreads throughout the space, like a continuous wave, rising in tonality to the point of suggesting the presence of an angelic choir. Every half hour the Baptistery staff performs a small demonstration for tourists: the effect is not to be missed.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Duomo di Pisa, Piazza del Duomo, 56126, Pisa Italy

Pisa Cathedral is a medieval Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, in the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, Italy. It is a notable example of Romanesque architecture, in particular the style known as Pisan Romanesque

Stop At: Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, Via della Canonica, 1 Piazza del Duomo, 50122, Florence Italy

The cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Visit from outside), with its beautiful dome projected by Brunelleschi, is the cathedral of Florence. Construction began in 1296, Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi.

Stop At: Giotto's Bell Tower, Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy

Adjacent to the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is the Bell Tower designed by Giotto (visit outside). Giotto's Bell Tower is the majestic bell tower of the Cathedral and one of the masterpieces of Italian Gothic. The Bell Tower has a square base of approximately 15 meters per side with corner reinforcements that rise up to the horizontal cantilevered crown located at a height of 84.7 metres.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Piazza della Signoria, 50122, Florence Italy

Piazza della Signoria has been at the center of Florence's political life since the 14th century. The Square has seen important historical events and great triumphs take place, such as the return of the Medici in 1530.
The famous sculptures located in Piazza della Signoria have references to the political events of Florence. The David (the original is located in the Accademia Gallery) was created by Michelangelo and positioned in front of Palazzo Vecchio to symbolize the power of the Florentine Republic in contrast with the tyranny of the Medici. Hercules and Cacus (1534) by Bandinelli instead symbolizes the physical power of the family.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Ponte Vecchio, 50125, Florence Italy

Built near a Roman-era crossing, the Ponte Vecchio was until 1218 the only bridge that crossed the Arno in Florence.
Above Ponte Vecchio you can see a part of the beautiful Vasari Corridor. This corridor, built in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari, passes just above the goldsmith shops that currently stand on either side of the bridge. Commissioned by the Medici, it allowed them to move from Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti without having to cross the streets of Florence, in complete safety. At the time of the construction of the Corridor, the butchers' shops were gathered on the Ponte Vecchio, whose activity probably disturbed the passage of the Medici, who in 1593 had them moved, replacing them with the more "decorous" goldsmith shops.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Piazzale Michelangelo, Piazzale Michelangelo, Florence, Tuscany

Piazzale Michelangelo is the most evocative point of Florence. From here you can admire the whole city with its splendid monuments.
This square was dedicated to the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo and the copy of David is located in the center of the square next to the four allegories of the Medici Chapels of San Lorenzo.

On my trip to Florence with La Vacanza Travel, I had the pleasure of being guided by the knowledgeable and friendly Alexandra and John Giovanni. Their passion for the city and its history truly elevated the experience. Roberto, our driver, ensured a smooth and comfortable journey. Together, they made the outing unforgettable. Thank you, La Vacanza Travel, for the exceptional service!”

Excellent experience. Great way to see Florence and Pisa in one day. Lovely van, Yara(guide) and Valentine(driver) were very courteous, knowledgeable and always on time. Pickup and drop off were very convenient. You don’t need more than one day to see everything in Pisa and Florence because they covered it all very well.

It was a very fun tour. My daughter and I learned a lot. Our tour guide and driver were really nice and knowledgeable. Things were well organized and went very smoothly. I loved that they pick-up/drop-off to hotel. It makes things easier being our first time in Rome.

We had the most amazing time on this tour! We got a lovely “appetizer” of Pisa and Florence. We stopped at some of the highlights, which piqued our interest in wanting to explore the towns further. Our tour guides, Alexis & Giovanni, and our driver, Massimo, were the absolute best! Extremely friendly & knowledgeable. Massimo & Alexis personally picked us up at our hotel, drove us to Pisa & Florence, and dropped us off at our hotel’s doorstep at the end of our day trip. They also offered to drop us off wherever we’d like, which was amazing! So considerate & gracious. Beyond our day trip, our tour guides gave us wonderful, local tips on places to visit, and even the proper way to make some of the local cuisine! Extremely hassle-free. Great communication with the tour operator. The whole day trip was an enriching, memorable experience…it was worth every penny! Highly recommended.
