Walking
The guide was excellent but it said it was moderate walking😐 But there was a lot of walking for a good 30/40 minutes It spoiled the excursion for me I would not recommend it if you have mobility issues

Perfect Balance of History
My partner and I really appreciated how this tour balanced guided sightseeing with time to wander on our own. Florence is one of those cities where every street seems to reveal something beautiful, and having a chance to explore independently made the visit even more enjoyable. Pisa was smaller but equally worth seeing, especially the famous square around the Leaning Tower. The transportation was clean and comfortable throughout the day. We never felt hurried, even with two major destinations. Overall, it was an easy and enjoyable shore excursion.
