LivTours Lucca and Pisa Tour is an enchanting private day trip from Florence. These charming gems of Tuscany offer a glimpse into Tuscan life.
Your private chauffeured car will pick you up from your hotel to start your journey across the rolling hills of northern Italy to Pisa, a gem in the crown of Tuscany, best known for its leaning tower. The Tower of Pisa, as it is known amongst Italians, is actually the bell tower to the Cathedral next door. Construction of the Leaning Tower started in the 12th century and soon after the tower started leaning! The Cathedral is a stunning example of Romanesque architecture at its best.
Next stop; Lucca! This city is famous for its still intact Renaissance-style fortified wall encircling most of the historic old town. Not to be missed is the Romanesque Cathedral, the Duomo, built in the 11th and 14th centuries, it is renowned throughout Italy for its stunning façade and design. Just next door you will find the half finished clock tower – climb to the top for amazing views over Lucca and the countryside. When you have finished exploring Lucca, your driver will be waiting for you to whisk you back to Florence!

Your LivTours’ Lucca and Pisa Tour includes visiting two of Tuscany’s most charming towns. Your private day trip starts at your hotel in Florence where your driver will meet you in a luxury car. Relax as you are introduced to the famously beautiful landscape of Tuscany on our way to your first stop, Pisa! Your driver will delight you with stories and anecdotes from the countryside and its stunning villas.
Upon arrival to Pisa you will immediately behold the world famous Leaning Tower of Pisa! It is known by Italians as the Tower of Pisa and was constructed in the 1100s and has always been leaning! Standing at 183.27 feet on one side and 185.93 feet on the other, this UNESCO World Heritage Site underwent construction to stop it from leaning any further. After an international group of engineers, mathematicians, and historians met in 2001, construction was carried out to stabilize the tower, allowing it to be opened once again to the public. Book our Leaning Tower tickets add-on and take the 294 steps up to the top of this world famous tower!
Next, it is off to lunch (not included in the price). The choice is yours, enjoy a full Italian lunch with pasta and wine, or a simple panino sandwich and a beer. After lunch, it is time to meet your driver again to go see Lucca!
In Lucca, you will have a chance to explore the hometown of the famous composer Giacomo Puccini while soaking up the views and enjoy glimpses of daily life. Dating back nearly 3,000 years to Etruscan times, Lucca has been a prominent town. Strolling through the town as you take in the unique and varied architecture, take time to walk through the impressive garden of Palazzo Pfanner with its floral arrangements and marble sculptures. Marvel at the impressive facade of the Cathedral with its bell tower in Piazza San Martino and maybe enjoy a coffee in the oval square of Piazza dell’Anfiteatro – Amphitheatre Square. Take a walk or, with our bike rental add-on, take a bike ride along the famous reinforced city wall!
After enjoying your time in Lucca, and after a full day of history, culture, Italian food, and Tuscan hills your driver will whisk you back to Florence to enjoy your evening. During the drive, take time to remember the highlights of your day and enjoy the Tuscan landscape as the evening sun melts over the rolling hills.
