You know who you are - you like to set out for adventures on your own and love the thrill of discovering new destinations. This independent yet fully organized excursion lets you visit Florence and Pisa in one incredible day, with skip-the-line entrance tickets included for two of Italy's most iconic landmarks: Michelangelo's David at the Accademia Gallery and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. You'll travel comfortably and return to your ship on time with complete peace of mind.

Your day begins with departure from La Spezia, where you'll board a comfortable, air-conditioned coach for a scenic ride of approximately 2 hours to Florence, arriving at Piazzale Montelungo. During the ride, enjoy free Wi-Fi, informational maps, and multilingual assistance (in Italian, English, and Spanish) on board and at stops.

Once in Florence, you'll have approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes to explore at your own pace. Your entrance to the Galleria dell'Accademia is included, allowing you to skip the line and admire Michelangelo's masterpiece "David" and other world-renowned works of art. Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, is filled with architectural and artistic gems-from the Duomo and Giotto's Bell Tower to Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, and beyond.

Next, continue your adventure with approximately 1-hour and 15-minute journey to Pisa. Upon arrival at the Pietrasantina car park, a short walk brings you to Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the famous Leaning Tower. You'll have about 1 hour and 30 minutes to explore the square, take unforgettable photos, and most importantly, climb the Leaning Tower with your included timed entrance ticket for a truly unique view.

After soaking in the sights of Pisa, relax on your return trip to La Spezia, arriving in time for a secure drop-off near the cruise terminal and your waiting ship.
