Discover Florence and Pisa in One Day from La Spezia and Carrara
Two iconic Tuscan cities, one seamless private journey through Renaissance art, marble monuments, and timeless landscapes.
This private day tour to Florence and Pisa takes you from the Ligurian coast deep into the heart of Tuscany, combining two of Italy's most celebrated destinations into a single well-paced itinerary. From the tilted tower beside a cathedral to the birthplace of the Renaissance, each stop delivers a concentrated experience of Italian heritage.
The tour is designed for travelers departing from La Spezia or Carrara, including cruise passengers with a port day to spare. A dedicated English-speaking driver handles all logistics, so you can focus entirely on exploring rather than navigating.
With a structured schedule and approximately three hours of free exploration time in Florence, the tour balances guided discovery with personal freedom. Whether you choose to visit a museum, cross a medieval bridge, or simply absorb the atmosphere of a Florentine piazza, the pace remains entirely your own.

Travel in a private vehicle with a dedicated English-speaking driver from your hotel or cruise terminal door to each destination.
Enjoy flexible free time in Florence to visit the Medici Chapels, San Lorenzo Church, or the Vasari Corridor at your own pace.

Itinerary
Your English-speaking driver meets you at your cruise ship or hotel at the scheduled morning departure time. The vehicle heads southwest toward Pisa through the Tuscan countryside.
Arrive at one of Italy's most striking public squares and spend time exploring the Leaning Tower, the Duomo, and the Baptistery. The tower began leaning during its 12th-century construction due to unstable subsoil, and was stabilized between 1993 and 2001 to a tilt of 3.97 degrees.
The route continues to Florence with a first stop at Piazzale Michelangelo, a hilltop square offering a sweeping panorama over the Arno River and the city's rooftops. The square features bronze replicas of Michelangelo's David and the four allegorical figures from the Medici Chapel.
Your driver accompanies you into the city center and orients you around the key landmarks. You then have approximately three hours of free time to visit suggested sites including Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, the Duomo complex, Santa Croce, San Lorenzo, and Palazzo Pitti.
Regroup with your driver in the late afternoon for the return journey along the Tuscan coast. Arrival back at your hotel or cruise port is scheduled for approximately 6:00 PM.
