Half Day Tour From Florence To
The Leaning Tower of Pisa
Have you always dreamed of climbing to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Well, this half day tour from Florence gives you the opportunity to visit this symbolic city of Italy. After a short drive through the Tuscan countryside, we will arrive in Pisa.
Your guide will lead you directly to the medieval entrance gate: Porta Santa Maria. From here, the extraordinary view will take your breath away! You will be in front of a unique panorama: Piazza dei Miracoli with its white, marble architecture and neat grass lawns.
A authorized tour guide will share the amazing stories of Pisa as you tour the monuments, and then accompany you on your visit to the precious interiors of the Cathedral, an unchallenged masterpiece of Romanesque art. After visiting the Cathedral, you can explore independently as you admire the Baptistery, the Monumental Graveyard, and finally – the world famous LEANING TOWER, discovering all its secrets.
