Itinerary

Arrival in Florence: Private Transfer to Hotel in Florence - Welcome Cocktail at Hotel

Where We Visit: Florence | Meeting Location: Airport

Upon arrival in Florence, whether by airplane or train, our team will wait to greet you and provide you with a private transfer to your hotel.

We have arranged for you to stay at one of Florence's top-rated four-star hotels, located on the Ponte Vecchio Bridge. The area is renowned for its beautiful jewelry shops. It is situated in the heart of Florence, just a 10-minute walk from the Duomo, Boboli Gardens, Santa Croce church (where Michelangelo is buried), and many other delightful streets filled with some of the best shopping opportunities in Italy.

Once you arrive, you will have the remainder of the day to relax and enjoy the enchanting atmosphere of Florence as you prepare for an extraordinary private tour of the city the following day.

You'll spend the night in Florence, and we can't wait for you to experience this magnificent city.

Where We Visit: Pisa Lucca

This morning, after a rich, Italian-style buffet breakfast at the hotel, your English-speaking driver guide will meet you to begin your journey into northern Tuscany to enjoy the beautiful cities of Pisa and Lucca, which were, at one time, great rivals of Florence.

We will head first to Pisa, which is famous for its leaning tower in the square of Miracles. Of course, Pisa is touristy, but it's touristy for a reason: It is beautiful and it is a lot of fun to visit Pisa, even if just for the photos! Here, you can have a chance to climb the leaning tower if you wish. However, let us know in advance, as tickets are subject to availability!

Following time in Pisa, we will continue to Lucca, the walled city where you will enjoy free time for lunch and walk through this incredible medieval town. Lucca is also a fantastic center for shopping, music, and beautiful markets. You will have time for shopping before we continue to our final destination for the day, Castellina in Chianti, in the heart of the Chianti region, where you will be based for the next three nights at the beautiful Palazzo Squarcialupi, a terrific hotel in the center of town with a swimming pool, overlooking the vineyards.

The rest of the night and dinner will be at leisure.

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went.
