First stop is Pisa where you head for the main square of Piazza dei Miracoli where your local guide will explain all about the magnificent buildings that surround it; the Baptistery, the Duomo and of course the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa which you will enter with your special skip-the-line tickets.

Lucca is one of the less well-known jewels of Tuscany. In here you will have some time on your own to explore this fascinating walled town. It was built in the Renaissance style and you can wander through the many gates into the town, marvel at the city’s ancient defenses and look over the wonderful terracotta-tiled rooftops.

Of particular interest in the old town is Piazza Anfiteatro, Guinigi tower, St. Martin’s Cathedral and a little streets with many old-fashioned shops. You'll end day end with a ride back to Florence through the wonderful Tuscan countryside.
