Description

If you book our Private Day Trip to Pisa you will have also the opportunity to visit the beautiful town of Lucca. Take away the hassle and tour in style, as you spend the day with a friendly, English-speaking driver. Our driver is a local to Tuscany and knows the region like the back of their hand.

Our private driver will pick you up at your hotel in Florence to discover two of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany: Pisa and Lucca. All along your Private Day Trip to Pisa and Lucca will travel in comfort in a car or minivan and our English-speaking private driver will be able to tell you anecdotes and stories about the places you travel by.

Your first stop will be the world-famous town of Pisa. The town owes its reputation to its most famous landmark: the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Its construction began in the 12th century. However, just 5 years after works have begun, the tower began to sink into the soft soil. Though many attempts were made to straighten it, the tower now leans at about 3.98 degrees. During your day trip to Pisa you will have free time to enjoy the town. You can decide to climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa or you can take a walk and explore the historic center of the town.

Your day trip will continue to the beautiful town of Lucca. The distinctive element of Lucca is its impressive city walls that enclose the city center. Dating back to the Renaissance, the city walls are still perfectly intact today. In Lucca you will have time to relax. You can take a walk along the city walls, as the local people do, and enjoy the panoramic view. You’ll be sure to take some fabulous pictures so that you can treasure your memories of Lucca forever. Whilst you’re there don’t forget to explore Lucca’s Medieval streets and its famous monuments, like the Guinigi Tower and the Dome of St. Martino.

Lucca city

Lucca

Lucca is a charming Tuscan city entirely encircled by its magnificent, remarkably preserved Renaissance-era defensive walls, which now offer a uniquely wide, tree-lined path for pedestrians and cyclists. Explore its delightful cobbled streets, circular Piazza dell'Anfiteatro (built on a Roman amphitheater), and numerous medieval towers, all contained within the city's verdant, historic perimeter.
Pisa Leaning Tower

Pisa Leaning Tower

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the world's most famous architectural mishap, a beautiful Romanesque bell tower globally recognized for its dramatic and unintended tilt that makes it appear ready to topple over. Visitors can marvel at the unique structure in the Piazza dei Miracoli and ascend its internal spiral staircase for a truly memorable view and experience from its famously slanted top.
