Description
Begin your experience with pickup in Florence at Piazza Adua, where you will meet your driver, who will accompany you throughout the day as both your chauffeur and guide. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a scenic drive through the Tuscan countryside toward the elegant walled city of Lucca.
Once in Lucca, enjoy a guided walking tour of the historic center. Stroll along its famous Renaissance walls, among the best preserved in Europe, offering beautiful views over rooftops, gardens, and church domes. As you enter the heart of the city, discover charming squares, medieval streets, Roman traces, and the unique atmosphere that makes Lucca so beloved. Admire the stunning Cathedral of San Martino, a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture rich in art, legends, and centuries of Tuscan heritage.
After the walking tour, a short transfer takes you just outside Lucca for the highlight of the day: an unforgettable Tuscan cooking class. You will be welcomed with warmth and professionalism into a fun and relaxed environment where you will truly “get your hands in the dough.” Learn authentic techniques, discover the secrets of traditional Tuscan cuisine, and prepare delicious dishes step-by-step with expert guidance. Then, sit down and enjoy the meal you created, with the option to pair it with excellent local wines for a complete Tuscan experience.
Next, depart Lucca and head toward one of Italy’s most iconic destinations: Pisa. Visit the breathtaking Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa stands alongside the Cathedral and Baptistery in a spectacular setting of white marble and history. Admire the beauty of this world-famous square while your driver-guide shares fascinating stories, secrets, and curiosities that make Pisa even more memorable.
After your visit, return comfortably to Florence. If you still want one final unforgettable view, you can choose an optional stop at Piazzale Michelangelo, the most famous panoramic viewpoint over Florence, perfect for photos and a magical ending to your day.
