The experience

Eight hours door-to-door, but the time splits between driving and two towns you'd otherwise need to arrange separately. Your driver picks you up from your Cinque Terre accommodation and handles the route while you watch the Marble Mountains of the Apuan Alps pass by: the same quarries that supplied Renaissance sculptors. The vehicle is air-conditioned and stocked with bottled water for the journey.

Pisa gets one hour. You walk straight to Piazza dei Miracoli on your own and spend the time as you choose: photograph the Leaning Tower from different angles, climb it if you want, or linger in the Cathedral with its white and gray marble façade and the Baptistery's famous acoustics. The tower's tilt was stabilized between 1993 and 2001 to 3.97 degrees, so it's been secure for two decades. The driver waits and briefs you on what to see before you go.

Lucca holds two hours. The cobblestone streets of the historic center are walkable without a guide. You navigate the Renaissance walls, find Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, and climb the Guinigi Tower if its rooftop garden appeals to you. The driver can suggest restaurants and spots locals prefer, but the time is yours. After Lucca, the drive to Florence follows a panoramic route through the afternoon. You choose your drop-off point in Florence: your hotel, B&B, apartment address, or another location that suits your arrival.
