Le Ponte Vecchio est un pont médiéval en arc de pierre qui enjambe le fleuve Arno. Seul pont de Florence épargné par la destruction pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il se distingue par les magasins construits le long de son parcours. Bouchers, tanneurs et agriculteurs occupèrent initialement les magasins ; les locataires actuels sont des bijoutiers et des marchands d'art.
La cathédrale a été érigée entre 1418 et 1434. Le dôme de Brunelleschi est la couverture de la croisière de la cathédrale de Florence; au moment de la construction était le plus grand dôme du monde et reste toujours le plus grand dôme de maçonnerie jamais construit. Chef-d'œuvre capable de résister à la foudre, aux tremblements de terre et au temps qui passe, il continue d'enchanter tous ceux qui l'observent de loin.
Le baptistère de Florence, également connu sous le nom de baptistère de Saint-Jean, est un édifice religieux octogonal à Florence et a le statut d'une basilique mineure. C'est l'une des plus anciennes églises de Florence.
La Piazza della Signoria, une place en forme de L, est située à mi-chemin entre le Duomo et le fleuve Arno. Avec le Palazzo della Signoria (Palazzo Vecchio), il est le centre de la vie politique à Florence depuis le 14ème siècle. Sur la place, nous pouvons voir de nombreuses sculptures, parmi lesquelles Le David (l'original est à la Galleria dell'Accademia) de Michel-Ange, Hercules et Cacus de Bandinelli, Le Nettuno (1575) d'Ammannati etc.
Le clocher de Giotto est l'un des quatre principaux monuments de la Piazza del Duomo. Il s'agit de l'exemple le plus éloquent de l'architecture gothique du XIVe siècle à Florence.
La cathédrale de Pise est une cathédrale catholique romaine médiévale dédiée à l'Assomption de la Vierge Marie, sur la Piazza dei Miracoli. C'est la plus ancienne des trois structures de la place. La cathédrale est un exemple remarquable d'architecture romane, en particulier du style dit roman pisan. Consacrée en 1118, c'est le siège de l'archevêque de Pise.
La Piazza dei Miracoli est un complexe situé au centre de Pise, reconnu comme un centre important de l'art médiéval européen et l'un des plus beaux complexes architecturaux au monde. L'ensemble appartenait à l'Église catholique et est dominé par quatre grands édifices religieux : la cathédrale de Pise, le baptistère de Pise, la tour penchée de Pise (le campanile ou clocher de la cathédrale) et le Camposanto Monumentale (« cimetière monumental »). En partie pavée et en partie gazonnée, la Piazza dei Miracoli abrite également l'Ospedale Nuovo di Santo Spirito (« Nouvel Hôpital du Saint-Esprit »), qui abrite aujourd'hui le musée Sinopias (Museo delle Sinopie) et le musée de la cathédrale (Museo dell 'Opéra du Duomo).
La tour penchée de Pise est le campanile, ou clocher indépendant, de la cathédrale de Pise. Il est connu pour son inclinaison de près de quatre degrés, résultat d’une fondation instable. La tour est l'une des trois structures de la place de la cathédrale de Pise (Piazza del Duomo), qui comprend la cathédrale et le baptistère de Pise. La tour a commencé à s'incliner lors de la construction au XIIe siècle, en raison du sol meuble qui ne pouvait pas supporter correctement le poids de la structure. La situation s'est aggravée avec l'achèvement des constructions au 14ème siècle. En 1990, l’inclinaison atteignait 5,5 degrés.

Driver was the guide. He was helpful and I could understand him to talk to. Showed us interesting information in Florence and also Pisa. Was a very long day and he even showed us some of the sights of Rome when taking us back to the hotel. The reason I would not recommend to a freind is that for Elderly it is a very long way. For younger people ,no worries.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your guide and appreciated the information shared throughout Florence and Pisa, as well as the extra sights of Rome on the way back to your hotel. We understand that this is a full-day experience and can be quite demanding, especially for elderly travelers. We always recommend that guests consider the duration and amount of walking involved before booking. We're grateful for your honest comments and are pleased that, overall, you had a positive experience. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!
Quick trip to Pisa and Florence. The Pisa portion was without a tour guide, just go take pictures. It would have been nice to know that entry to the tower requires advance purchase of tickets. The guided tour of central Florence was good. Tour guide was funny and helpful with any questions. The square was jam packed with tourists, making following the guide difficult at times. For a quick bite, this was an okay tour.
Thank you for your review
Ali, our tour guides very personable and friendly. Show us the general Highpoint of each stop and then let us go on our own. Only Regret is the boat leaves too early.
Thank you for your nice review
I only give this a three star because the van was old and the air conditioning didn’t work well so the 3 of us the were sitting in the back sweat was just dripping off of us and the shocks were terrible. Our diver Ivano and our tour guide Felice were great. They tried the best they could to get us cooled down in the back and tried their best to make our day memorable.
Hello dear customer, we are sorry to read about this review. We confirm that the AC was working properly, however as per the Italian laws we cannot have AC at less than 21°C.
It was canceled because it didn't meet the minimum number of participants. I was very disappointed and had to scramble last minute to find something
we told you two days before that we had not reached the minimum number, you replied that it was not a problem and you put a negative review? I am sorry for this review because we do our job with the utmost professionalism and you are not evaluating our tour since you did not do it, it does not depend on us if we do not reach the number of participants. we have not created a problem or an inconvenience for you since we warned you in time
It was great having a knowledgeable person who could assure that we were receiving a fair deal in the shops and restaurants.
Thank you for your nice review!
The transportation was in a small van with broken A/C. The tour guide had no guided aids and was hard to hear. He was nice and very helpful in navigating through Florence and took us to a nice restaurant for lunch.
Hello, we are sorry to read this review as it give incorrect information. All our vans have working A/C, however we cannot (as per the Italian laws and regulations) have it on less than 21 °C. As per guided aids, we specify in our product description that we do not offer them, and that is because we only do small group tours (you group was indeed only a few people). We encourage you to carefully read any product description before purchasing it.
Bad car, bad driver, bad experience, bad communication. It was a bad experience for me For the first communication with the operator was so bad, the car was old and had Small chairs for this long trip
We were in near accidents twice. Our driver Hugo, was a very reckless driver. He crashed the car twice on our way back from Pisa, Italy. First time was when he pulled over into a gas station and crashed the front of the car into the curb. Although the crash was minor, it was bad enough to rattle us. The next time was during the long drive in the highway, he swiped the side of the car onto the railing of the road. He was speeding at the time when it was rainy and dark. He said that the vehicle was ‘not good’ and so we were scared that the car might not be safe to drive. He was driving us alone without a guide with him, and he spoke very little English so it was hard to communicate with him. On top of that, our local guide in Florence was 30 minutes late and so we were rushed for time during the tour in Florence, and what was supposed to be a 2 hour tour was reduced to 1 1/2 hours.
The biggest problem with this tour was distance. Pisa is about 4 hours from Rome, and Florence 3. So for our nearly 10 hour day was over 8 hours in transit. When we got to Pisa there was no guide. We were on our own, but with barely an hour to explore there was little time to do much beyond look at the tower. This was unfortunate, as the site had multiple other things to see - including a basilica. But each required you to pay (even the restroom), so you didn’t want to gamble on waiting in line for tickets you could not use. I think that between 1/2 day and a full day might be enough time for Pisa, depending upon how interested you are in the local history. There is much to see even on the site. Did have some yummy pizza at a restaurant out by the souvenir shops (on your left as you walk toward the entrance). Lunch was supposed to be included but was not, so good thing we snacked! Florence was beautiful, and our guide was fantastic. I did not catch his name unfortunately, but he was from Pakistan, was a student, had lived in Italy for several years, and was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We had about 1.5 hours - would have loved more time. This tour might be fine starting from closer to (or in) Pisa or Florence, and it’s at least partly my fault for not looking at a map. However, at $500 for two people I think I would have done better to leave our stuff in Rome, rent a second hotel room for one or two nights in Pisa or Florence, traveled by train, and connected with local guides. The cost would have been comparable and we would not have been anywhere near as rushed. But travel is like that. Live and learn!
