Visit Florence and Pisa’s top sights, on a day tour from Rome. Your journey will be in a fully-equipped car, where you will be accompanied by a knowledgeable English- speaking driver. Once in Florence, the tour starts from Piazza San Marco. Here you visit the peaceful and beautifully maintained old Dominican monastery, one of the most delightful museums in Florence, with important frescoes and paintings by Fra’ Angelico. Next, you can stroll to the famous San Lorenzo market, and stop for an outside view of the Medici Palace where a few steps away is the Duomo and Baptistery, the religious center of the city, and Piazza della Signoria, the political center. Between the two you could stop off for a nice espresso in one of Florence’s historic cafes. From here you can walk to the medieval district of Florence, and the “Ponte Vecchio”, also known as the “Golden Bridge” due to its numerous, historic jewelry shops. Then we will drive to Pisa, located on the river Arno, and just a few kilometers inland from the sea, Pisa is famous for its “Piazza dei Miracoli” where you can admire the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Camposanto, and of course the Leaning Tower of Pisa! This monumental complex is one of the greatest examples of Romanesque architecture and sculpture, with its spacious layout, rising proudly from grass lawns and surrounded by the Camposanto and crenelated walls. It all makes Pisa a city unlike any other in the world! During the tour we will stop for a typical Tuscan lunch.
