Discover a treasure trove of Tuscan wonders on a full-day excursion that packs in the Renaissance charms of Florence and the architectural gems of Pisa, plus plenty of independent exploration in each city. Join a specialized guide for a narrated stroll through Florence, birthplace of the Renaissance. Enter Piazza della Signoria, the city's largest square and home to the Loggia dei Lanzi sculpture gallery, where you'll view a copy of Michelangelo's "David ". Snap photos of the stone Ponte Vecchio bridge and stand before the Church of Santa Croce, burial place for the Italian monarchy. Enjoy an outside visit to the Florence Cathedral and admire its Florentine Gothic bell tower. You will have approximately two hours to roam, shop, and dine on your own. Before moving on to explore nearby Pisa, you will enjoy a Tuscan tasting of local delicacies accompanied by a glass of red wine. The medieval university town of Pisa, as your guide will explain, is best known for its Field of Miracles complex, where you'll find a Duomo, Baptistery and the world-famous Leaning Tower. The free-standing campanile took 177 years to build, and you'll have about an hour to take in its peculiar tilt before being transported back to port.
