Semi-Private Tour: Florence and Pisa from Rome

Two of Italy's greatest cities, one unforgettable day.


This Florence and Pisa day tour from Rome is designed for travelers who want to make the most of limited time in Italy without sacrificing depth or comfort. Departing in the morning from Rome, you will travel in a comfortable vehicle with a small group, ensuring a more personal and relaxed experience throughout the day.

Florence greets you with its Renaissance splendor, from the soaring dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore to the vibrant energy of its famous leather market. The semi-private format gives you genuine freedom to wander at your own pace, lingering in corners of the city that catch your eye.

From Florence, the tour continues west to Pisa, home to the iconic Piazza dei Miracoli. This UNESCO World Heritage Site gathers some of the finest Romanesque architecture in Italy into a single, extraordinary square, with the Leaning Tower standing as its most recognized landmark.

The itinerary is structured to offer guided orientation alongside independent exploration, making it suitable for first-time visitors as well as travelers returning to Italy who want to see these cities without the logistics of self-organized travel.

Tour Highlights

Admire Brunelleschi's Dome, one of the great architectural achievements of the Renaissance, rising above the Florence skyline.

Browse Florence's famous leather market, where artisan craftsmanship and Italian style come together in a lively street setting.

Explore Florence independently, setting your own pace through historic streets, squares, and cultural landmarks.

Visit the UNESCO-listed Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, a remarkable ensemble of medieval monuments recognized worldwide.

See the Leaning Tower of Pisa up close, one of the most photographed and recognizable structures on the planet.

Travel in a semi-private group, keeping the experience intimate and personal compared to large coach tours.

Cover two distinct Tuscan destinations in a single day, departing and returning directly from Rome.
