Pisa, Wine & Pasta: Day Trip from Florence
Experience the best of Tuscany in a single day—art, food, wine, and authentic traditions. This private day trip combines the iconic beauty of Pisa with the hidden charm of the Tuscan countryside.
Pisa has one famous tower and, fortunately, a lot more going on behind it. I’ll guide you through Piazza dei Miracoli (Tower, Cathedral, Baptistery) and tell you what the postcards leave out.
Prefer to wander? Take the monuments with me or explore at your own pace.
Then comes lunch, which in Tuscany is a serious matter. I’ll point you to a countryside farm for a proper meal with local wine (vegetarian, celiac and allergy-friendly options exist, so no one gets left with a sad salad).
The afternoon belongs to Lari, a medieval town with a historic family-run pasta factory, artisanal sweets and liqueurs, and a scenic walk up to the fortress.

– Professional guiding in Pisa (Piazza dei Miracoli and Leaning Tower area)

Not included (booked and paid by you directly)
