A private driver collects you in Rome for an 11‑hour cultural loop to Pisa and Florence. See Pisa’s cathedral and Leaning Tower, then tour Florence with an art-historian guide and a scheduled visit to Michelangelo’s David.

You leave Rome at dawn, the city's dome-dotted skyline shrinking as the highway unspools north. By midmorning the square in Pisa opens like a stage: marble facades, the cathedral’s blind arcades and the Leaning Tower leaning as if in conversation with the sky. Later the Arno carries you into Florence, where the river dares you to slow down and read every stone — Brunelleschi’s dome towering above narrow streets threaded with centuries of trade and craft.
