Journey to Florence, the jewel of the Renaissance, for a guided walking experience rich in cultural and artistic significance on a full-day adventure. Your 90-minute motorcoach ride from Livorno brings you to the city's center where you'll be within steps of Il Duomo - the model from which the dome of St. Peter's Dome was built. You'll see Giotto's Bell Tower and the Baptistery noted for its beautiful gilded bronze doors - the east door depicts scenes from the Old Testament and are referred to as the "Gates of Paradise." Stroll further and discover the Piazza della Signoria, Florence's governmental center adorned with magnificent statues including a replica of Michelangelo's David. Enjoy lunch and pause for a photo at the Ponte Vecchio bridge before a visit to Santa Croce Church. Concludes your visit with a countryside ride to Pisa and its famous Leaning Tower located in the Square of Miracles, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Return to port.
