Your Itinerary

Piazza dei Miracoli

Enjoy the marvels inside the Piazza dei Miracoli, 4 monuments: The Baptistery (famous for its echo), the Cathedral, the Leaning Tower, the Cemetery. Take a souvenir photo with the background of the leaning Toore that you are holding.

Admission Included

Battistero di San Giovanni

The Pisa Baptistery of St. John (Italian: Battistero di San Giovanni) is a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical building in Pisa, Italy. Construction started in 1152 to replace an older baptistery, and when it was completed in 1363, it became the second building, in chronological order, in the Piazza dei Miracoli. The shape of the building, the material used, the distribution of the interior spaces given by the columns and the space between the two domes make the Baptistery create an incredible effect of acoustic resonance, better known as Echo. Enjoy the sound spreads throughout the space, like a continuous wave, rising in tonality to the point of suggesting the presence of an angelic choir. Every half hour the Baptistery staff performs a small demonstration for tourists: the effect is not to be missed.

Admission Included

Duomo di Pisa

Pisa Cathedral is a medieval Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, in the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, Italy. It is a notable example of Romanesque architecture, in particular the style known as Pisan Romanesque

Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore

The cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (visit outside), with its beautiful dome projected by Brunelleschi, is the cathedral of Florence. Construction began in 1296, Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink, bordered by white, and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.

Admission Not Included

Adjacent to the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is the Bell Tower designed by Giotto (visit outside). Giotto's Bell Tower is the majestic bell tower of the Cathedral and one of the masterpieces of Italian Gothic. The Bell Tower has a square base of approximately 15 meters per side with corner reinforcements that rise up to the horizontal cantilevered crown located at a height of 84.7 metres.

Admission Not Included

Battistero di San Giovanni

The Baptistery of San Giovanni (visit outside) is located in Piazza Duomo, in front of the Cathedral of S. Maria del Fiore, it is one of the most important monuments in Florence. The origins of the monument are not certain. It is thought to have been built on the ruins of an ancient Roman temple dedicated to the God Mars around the 4th-5th century AD. The first mention dates back to 897 when it was referred to as a basilica. In 1128 it officially became the city's baptistery, where the baptism rite took place. The baptistery, named after the patron saint of the city, is characterized by an octagonal plan, covered by a dome with eight segments covered on the outside by a pyramid roof. The exterior of the building is decorated with white Carrara marble and green Prato marble, characteristic of Florentine Romanesque architecture.

Admission Not Included

Piazza della Signoria

Piazza della Signoria has been at the center of Florence's political life since the 14th century. The Square has seen important historical events and great triumphs take place, such as the return of the Medici in 1530. The famous sculptures located in Piazza della Signoria have references to the political events of Florence. The David (the original is located in the Accademia Gallery) was created by Michelangelo and positioned in front of Palazzo Vecchio to symbolize the power of the Florentine Republic in contrast with the tyranny of the Medici. Hercules and Cacus (1534) by Bandinelli instead symbolizes the physical power of the family.

Ponte Vecchio

Built near a Roman-era crossing, the Ponte Vecchio was until 1218 the only bridge that crossed the Arno in Florence. Above Ponte Vecchio you can see a part of the beautiful Vasari Corridor. This corridor, built in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari, passes just above the goldsmith shops that currently stand on either side of the bridge. Commissioned by the Medici, it allowed them to move from Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti without having to cross the streets of Florence, in complete safety. At the time of the construction of the Corridor, the butchers' shops were gathered on the Ponte Vecchio, whose activity probably disturbed the passage of the Medici, who in 1593 had them moved, replacing them with the more "decorous" goldsmith shops.

Piazzale Michelangelo

Piazzale Michelangelo is the most evocative point of Florence. From here you can admire the whole city with its splendid monuments. This square was dedicated to the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo and the copy of David is located in the center of the square next to the four allegories of the Medici Chapels of San Lorenzo.

Amazing…. Rini was a pleasure and an excellent guide. Giovanni in Firenze was extremely knowledgeable and offered a lot of history and information. Highly recommend!!

Chris_N

I am not normally one to review but really wanted to give a special shout out to Chiara who conducted our personalised tour in Florence. She was amazing and her passion for the city of Florence and the arts (in particular the statue of David) was both interesting and enjoyable. If travelling to Florence I highly recommend doing a personalised tour with Chiara.

Melissa_B

Rashi and Emilio provided a great experience touring Pisa and Florence for my entire family (7 total people ranging in age from 16 to 81). Emilio’s enthusiasm for Florence helped bring the history of the city to life for us. Highly recommend.

Alex was our guide and she was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. Our driver did not speak English, but was so friendly and helpful we appreciated him as well. The tour was really worth every penny as we got to see art, sculpture and Pisa. We needed a much longer time in Florence to really appreciate it, but this was a great start. Highly recommend this tour.

Davika_S

Well organized tour. Pick up was on time. The day was fun and relaxing with Dina. She was amazing and so knowledgeable. She was kind and accommodating. Kept everything moving but we still felt relaxed. She engaged the teens and they appreciated it. Our driver was awesome too. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Richard_A

Driver and host were very friendly and helpful. Trip went smoothly. A lot to see in one day. Very enjoyable.

Yelena_R

It was a truly an amazing tour and experience! Florence was most definitely the highlight of the trip. I had the privilege of going on a private tour with my brother, and we had an amazing time. Our tour guide, Josh, was extremely hospitable, knowledgeable and had a great energy! From seeing the beautiful sights and learning about the culture in a way that one wouldn’t get from a self guided tour. It was a memorable day spent in great company, and would highly recommend!

Kissinger_G

Tour guides were great. Vehicle broke down twice. After the second time, instead of arranging for another vehicle to take us back to hotel, they dropped us at train station so we can find our way home.
