Itinerary
Square with green areas and the emblematic leaning tower and majestic cathedral of Pisa, with marble bands. Spend some free time here to take funny pictures.
Pass by: The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, in the center of Piazza dei Miracoli is a medieval Catholic cathedral dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, the episcopal seat of the Italian city of Pisa
Pass by: Did you know that it started by leaning in one direction and then continued to lean in the opposite direction? From here we will go back to the bus and start the journey to Florence
The first stop in Florence will be Piazza Santa Croce. The centerpiece of this square is the Basilica di Santa Croce, one of the most important Franciscan churches in Italy. It is known for its distinctive Gothic architecture and is the final resting place for some of Italy's most illustrious figures, including Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei, Niccolò Machiavelli, and Dante Alighieri.
Pass by: Discover the wonderful Piazza del Duomo, the main square in the heart of Florence. It is renowned for its stunning architecture and is surrounded by some of the city's most iconic landmarks like the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore or the Giotto's Campanile. Here you will have free time to walk around the city and discover it on your own.
Pass by: Commonly known as Il Duomo, this iconic cathedral is renowned for its distinctive dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, which is considered an architectural masterpiece of the Renaissance. It is famous for its red-tiled dome, the marble façade, and Giotto's bell tower.
Pass by: This spectacular temple from the 15th century is a Dominican church with frescoes by Gothic and early Renaissance masters.
Pass by: Walk over the Vecchio Bridge and discover the history behind the shops that line both sides. They are built on the bridge and have historically been used by merchants, especially jewelers and goldsmiths. The tents are suspended over the river and are supported by columns.
Pass by: Piazza della Signoria is the central square of Florence, in Tuscany, Italy. It is the seat of civil power with the "Old Palace" and is the heart of the city's social life.

Pisa and Florence bus tour
I highly recommend this trip. Mary Jo was our tour guide. She was awesome!
Amaizing tour to Pisa and Florence.
It was a great experience! Long hours in bus but truly worth it! Our guide Lisa was a great and responsive guide. Greetings from Latvia.
Good guide makes the best out of your day trip’s schedule
Guide & Driver: Aaron, Gratzi, Salvatore 4.5h to Pisa (including stop at gift shop for quick rest), 1h in Pisa, 1.5h to Florence, 2.5h in Florence, and 3.5h to Rome. It’s a day trip with to two cities with very tight schedule, but our guide/drivers do their best to make it worth it, with lots of history info and recommendations about places in the city. Bus ride was comfortable and easy to sleep while on a long trip. The schedule was my only disappointment. You cannot possibly explore all of the famous locations in the cities in such short time and you will most certainly feel that you want more time. Otherwise, the cities will give you the glimpse of their rich experience that is still worth traveling to. If you are still okay with these, you will find the guide/drivers comfortable and will enjoy the trip.
