Itinerary

50 min

Prepare to embark on a journey to one of Italy’s most iconic and historic cities: Pisa awaits! Your private driver will pick you up directly from your accommodation in Florence, and you’ll travel in total comfort aboard a luxury Mercedes vehicle. As you leave behind the lively streets of Florence, you'll be welcomed by the serene beauty of Tuscany’s rolling hills. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic drive to Pisa, which takes approximately one hour.

60 min

Upon arrival in Pisa, your driver will drop you off at the iconic Square of Miracles, home to the city’s most famous landmarks. You'll have two hours to explore this stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the dazzling white marble monuments, the Leaning Tower, Cathedral, Baptistery, and Camposanto, stand in breathtaking contrast to the green lawns. After taking in the highlights, consider venturing beyond the tourist path. Enjoy a cappuccino at a local café and take a peaceful stroll along the scenic Arno River. Your private driver remains at your full disposal throughout the day, ready to offer recommendations and pick you up at your preferred location when it's time to return to Florence.

60 min

As you pass through the ancient walls that enclose the Square of Miracles, prepare to be awestruck by the breathtaking sights of Pisa. The brilliant white marble monuments seem to glow against the lush green lawns, creating a picture-perfect setting. Take your time to explore the stunning Cathedral, the acoustically unique Baptistery, the historic Camposanto Cemetery, and of course: the world-famous Leaning Tower. Don’t forget to have your camera ready for fun and memorable photos in front of this iconic symbol of Italy!

20 min

At the heart of the Square of Miracles stands the sacred Cathedral of Pisa: an often-overlooked gem that radiates elegance and grandeur. While most visitors rush to the Leaning Tower, this architectural masterpiece offers a quieter yet deeply moving experience. The Cathedral is a rare and striking example of “Pisan Romanesque” architecture, a unique style found only in Pisa and nearby towns like Lucca. As you approach the ornate façade, you’ll be captivated by the intricate stone carvings: so precise, it’s hard to believe they were crafted nearly a thousand years ago. If time allows, step through the grand bronze doors and into a space of spiritual harmony, where masterpieces await: Cimabue’s haunting frescoes, Giovanni Pisano’s intricate pulpit, and stunning gilded ceilings.

Admission not included20 min

With the iconic Leaning Tower right before your eyes, visiting the inside becomes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: but only for those who select the tour option that includes Tower access. If you’ve chosen this upgrade, get ready to climb the famous spiral staircase to the top. From there, take in a breathtaking panoramic view of Pisa and its surroundings. Feel the breeze, enjoy the surreal tilt beneath your feet, and capture unforgettable photos from one of Italy’s most legendary landmarks.

60 min

After grabbing some last minute souvenirs, your driver will be ready to pick you up at any location in Pisa. Enjoy the comfort of a luxury, private Mercedes vehicle for your journey back. The drive will take about one hour, and you will be dropped off at your accommodation in Florence.

Dismal experience with Ciao Florence

A terrible experience. Today we were left lying in Pisa because we were lost in the village. We had been calling them non-stop and they have not had the slightest consideration of waiting for us. They have left with our coats, suitcases and all our belongings inside the vehicle. We had to take a taxi on our own to return to our accommodation, more than an hour and a half journey, with the consequent expense and discomfort. The service has been nefarious and we have not been offered any solution or apology. We do not recommend this company at all. Total lack of professionalism and empathy with clients, especially Sebastian, the guide in question.

Visit to Pisa

The guide Constantino was very friendly and organized, attentive to everything. The visit is not long, but it is as announced, with some free time. Fulfilled schedules without pressure or stress. A good option to go to Pisa without much worry.

Driver was fantastic with a lot of knowledge

Our driver for our trip from Florence to Pisa was just fantastic and exceeded our expectations. He picked us up a little early and was very professional. His knowledge about both Florence and Pisa was amazing - most of all he was a really nice guy.

Very pricey for the experience, it is virtually a car ride to Pisa. We had purchase additional tickets to climb Pisa and visit the cathedral after already paying $185 pp to get there. The driver was knowledgeable on the ride.
