The experience

The Leaning Tower and the Cathedral sit in Pisa's Miracle Square, where you'll spend time seeing the Baptistery and the surrounding architecture before the minivan heads inland to Lucca. Once there, a licensed guide takes over to walk you through the city's Roman heart: the Duomo dedicated to St. Martin, the Church of San Michele in Foro at the center of the old forum, the Roman Amphitheater, and the Foro Romano: the oldest square of Roman origin. Fillungo street, lined with Art Nouveau shops, cuts through the medieval layout, and the tour also passes the birthplace of Giacomo Puccini, the opera composer born here.

Knights' Square rounds out the Lucca stops with its distinctive architecture. The whole route runs five to eight hours depending on traffic and the time of day, and you travel in a private minivan with air conditioning. An English-speaking driver provides an overview of the region as you move between the two cities, while the licensed guide in Lucca handles the walking portions and the details of what you're seeing.

If you want to extend the day, a detour into the countryside to visit an estate and taste local wines can be arranged. That addition runs 25 to 45 euros per person and is booked separately at checkout. The minivan is wheelchair accessible, and collapsible wheelchairs with removable wheels can be accommodated if a companion is able to assist with boarding and disembarking. Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller, and service animals are welcome.
