Florence and Pisa

The small city of Florence on the banks of the Arno River in northeastern Tuscany is incomparable in terms of its art and architecture. Spend the day seeing the best this city has to offer as you board your coach for a scenic ride through the Tuscan countryside to the stunning terrace of Piazzale Michelangelo. Savor panoramic overviews of the city, then make your way down into the heart of Florence with your expert guide who will take you to the must-see sites.

While in Florence you will also see the magnificent Piazza del Duomo with the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, Baptistery, Giotto's Bell tower, Piazza della Signoria, Piazza della Repubblica, and the elegant Ponte Vecchio (the old bridge).

Take some free time to explore the many shops or grab a cup of coffee and watch the street performers before departing for Pisa. In the university town of Pisa you will head to the Pisa Cathedral, a Romanesque medieval church with its famous Leaning Tower. Visit the Baptistry and the Leaning Tower, one of the most famous towers in the world. The tower has a 4 degree lean thanks to an unsettling of the soil underneath it, giving onlookers the impression that the tower is falling down.

This popular excursion gives you the best of Florence and Pisa in one day. Reserve your spot now for an unforgettable day in these two romantic Tuscan cities.

Please Note: This tour does not include the Accademia Museum.

I like Shore Excursions because the group is always smaller. Our guide was great and we had a wonderful tour.

Our tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable of Florence. Our driver was even better. He definitely knew his way around. Dropped us off to visit Pisa in an awesome spot as we were free to explore on our own. We were very happy. This was our favorite excursion of our trip.

Wonderful tour guide and driver!

It was so nice to be picked up and dropped off directly at the cruise terminal, saving us precious time to get to Florence. Our group of 5 wanted to skip Pisa so we could have more time in Florence, so we were pleased our driver, Andrea, was flexible and accommodating. Andrea was also very knowledgeable and super friendly. Our tour guide in Florence was also very knowledgable and gave us great tips on where to eat in Florence. She moved us along at a reasonable pace (not too fast nor too slow), sharing lots of great information along the way. The only down side is that we paid the full tour price, which included skip-the-line tickets to see David at the Academia Museum, and later discovered the museum was free that day. Oh well ...

Pisa was great.

This tour started out wonderful. Our driver was so informative and spoke very well. She made an effort to tell us what she could about the areas and town we were driving through. She let us off in Pisa and gave us lots of time. She then drove us to Florence. This was a beautiful drive. She stopped at the top so we could take pictures and then thru the town its self. She was told the guide was running late so the driver showed us a lot and gave some history as well. She was wonderful! After she left us off with the guide and we waited for another group of for our guide we started. Our guide was not very good. She talked a lot about how hard it was to become a guide and her family. She lost a person at the 1st stop and that took time. Shel ost us when she turned a corner and our audio no longer picked her up. We spent a long time trying to find our way to the Church with the David and I could hear her however so many people... Needless to say our tour was not a tour it was a mess!

Great day tour

I booked this tour for me and my husband for a pick up from our ship, Crystal Serenity. There were 8 of us, which was a perfect size. Our driver was great. He drove us to Florence and on the way we stopped to take some photos. We met up with a nice young woman who took us into the museum. We then went on to Pisa. The entire day was terrific.
