Itinerary

Meet your guide in Piazzale Montelungo

You start at Florence’s main bus terminal, where your guide will check you in and walk you through the plan for the day. Then you board a comfortable coach with your group and get ready to head to Pisa.

Ride through the Tuscan countryside

On the way to Pisa, ride past rolling hills, vineyards, and small towns. Your guide points out local landmarks and shares stories about the history of Tuscany, so you know what you’re seeing from the window.

Arrive at Pisa and walk to Piazza dei Miracoli

When you reach Pisa, the coach drops you near the medieval city walls and entrance gate. From here, you follow your guide toward Piazza dei Miracoli and get your first full view of the Leaning Tower, Cathedral, and Baptistery.

Visit Pisa Cathedral, Monumental Graveyard, and Baptistery

In Piazza dei Miracoli, you visit the Cathedral, Monumental Graveyard, and Baptistery with your guide. Inside these marble buildings, you see Romanesque arches, quiet cloisters, and carved details while learning how Pisa’s power shaped this “Square of Miracles.”

Climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa

Next, use your skip-the-line Leaning Tower tickets to start the climb up the iconic tower. You follow the stone staircase to the top, where you can look out over Pisa’s rooftops and the monuments in Piazza dei Miracoli.

Return to Florence and finish the tour at Piazzale Montelungo

After some free time for photos in the square, you meet your guide and walk back to the coach. The drive takes you back to Florence, where your tour ends at Piazzale Montelungo near the city center.

Excellent tour of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Cathedral and the Baptistery. The bus trip from Florence to Pisa was comfortable in an AC bus to beat the July heat and the tour guide at Pisa was wonderful, very knowledgeable, friendly and with a great sense of humor. Throughly enjoyed the trip. Wish we spent more time at the Cathedral, which was very beautiful.

Paying for the ability to climb the tower is the only redeeming quality of this tour. Otherwise this truly felt like a tour that we paid for someone to logistically get us to Pisa. The guide did give us some good information but not as specific as anything we couldn’t have gotten from a run of the mill guide book.

Fantastic day trip
