Pisa
The next part of the journey takes you to the historic city of Pisa, famous around the world for its remarkable architectural treasures. Pisa was a powerful maritime republic during the Middle Ages, thriving as a center of trade, art, and learning. Its wealth and influence are reflected in the city’s stunning monuments. Walking through Pisa’s streets, you can still feel the echoes of its rich history, from medieval palaces to historic squares, offering a fascinating glimpse into a city that shaped much of Tuscany’s cultural heritage.
120 minutes here
Piazza dei Miracoli
Piazza dei Miracoli is one of the most iconic and historically significant public spaces in Italy and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This expansive, lawn‑covered square showcases four extraordinary medieval monuments that reflect the city’s power as a major maritime republic from the 11th to the 14th centuries: the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the monumental Camposanto cemetery, and, of course, the world‑famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. Each building in the square exemplifies the distinctive Pisan Romanesque architectural style, with elegant marble facades, intricate arches, and rich artistic detail that speak to the city’s deep cultural heritage and international influences. Walking through Piazza dei Miracoli, you’ll feel transported back to a time when Pisa was at the height of its influence — and you’ll understand why this remarkable ensemble continues to draw millions of visitors from around the world each year.
60 minutes here
Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most recognized landmarks in the world, famous for its unexpected tilt that has captivated visitors for centuries. This freestanding bell tower, part of the magnificent Piazza dei Miracoli complex, was built over 200 years starting in the 12th century and showcases the elegant Pisan Romanesque architectural style. Its slight lean, caused by unstable soil, gives it a unique charm and makes it a must-see for anyone visiting Pisa. Upgrade your experience to include skip-the-line entry, allowing you to climb to the top of the tower and enjoy breathtaking views of the city, the Arno River, and the surrounding Tuscan countryside—a truly unforgettable perspective of this historic gem.

Amazing day trip from Florence
We had an awesome time with Koko as our tour guide and Casper as our driver. It was a long day but the bus rides in between places was a good break to take a quick nap and reset and get ready for the next stop. Koko was AMAZING and so easy to interact with making our day trip very memorable. We would recommend this tour to our family and friends visiting Florence 👍

Ado Made Our Adventures Fun!
What an amazing day exploring Cinque Terre and Pisa! Ado was an amazing guide, keeping track of the details and making the day so easy. From sharing knowledge to keeping us on time, from culture to taking photos, Ado was a joy. I can’t believe I just saw the leaning tower of Pisa, and I’m so grateful that we took this tour!!!

Italian Coast Excursion
Had a great Cinque Terre tour with our guides Naomi and Luca. Both brought their personalities and knowledge of the area to the tour. You should be proud to have them as employees. Since they went the extra mile and smile, I have a little suggestion. It’s best done to the Aerosmith song “Walk this Way”. Enjoy… Walk About ( To the song Walk this Way by Aerosmith) Cinque Terre lovers There’s a tour like no other Who can fill with your day with so much fun From the bus to the train Their always there to explain As you travel town to town in the sun Always with a smile They go the extra mile Naomi and Luca should really be praised For the hard work they do I have a suggestion for you How bout giving them both a raise Walk About We all shout Without doubt Don’t cop out Just give them a raise Seaside villas Lined up and down the hillas Stretching up the Italian Coast With breath taking views So many we never knew An experience we all will boast Speaking for the rest These two really gave their best A credit to your industry by far So maybe tomorrow You can give them some more Euros And on Yelp I will give you 5 STARS Walk About We all shout Without doubt Don’t cop out Just give them a raise

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cinque Terre and Pisa Day Trip with optional Leaning Tower Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Cinque Terre and Pisa Day Trip with optional Leaning Tower Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cinque Terre and Pisa Day Trip with optional Leaning Tower Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Cinque Terre and Pisa Day Trip with optional Leaning Tower Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cinque Terre and Pisa Day Trip with optional Leaning Tower Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cinque Terre and Pisa Day Trip with optional Leaning Tower Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cinque Terre and Pisa Day Trip with optional Leaning Tower Ticket?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cinque Terre and Pisa Day Trip with optional Leaning Tower Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
