Climb the tower
You should go. Even with the summer crowds, the tour seemed relaxed and unrated. The climb up the tower is a must do for the views and history. The driver was awesome and well informed.

5-star review
Highly recommend this day trip, especially if you get Cristian and your driver and guide. He is awesome! The drive was pleasant, informative, and fun. And the recommendations he gave us while is Pisa and Lucca were awesome! Highly recommend!

Terrific Driver
Diego was a delight from start to finish. The car was beautiful, and we always knew we were in professional hands. When we decided to leave early, he arrived in eight minutes and drove us home. He also recommended a wonderful place for lunch in Lucca.

Waste of money
The person who was on the bus with us, a lady called Marina, was really disappointing. She seemed to be bored to death and really eager to see the end of the tour. On the bus, she made only the minimum effort to fulfill her duty. As we were driving along mountains and beautiful landscape, she didn’t care to make any comments on what we were seeing or explain anything. The least lively person I’ve ever seen in this kind of activity. She answered the questions in a very brief way, and immediately turned her back on us to do something else, as if we were annoying her. Anyway, the tour itself was a waste of money. We chose the low cost tour, but we could not expect everything would be so frustrating. We should have taken the train instead, at least we would have saved the money. We couldn’t even taken part in the buccellato tasting, because we had chosen the low cost tour. In other words, we just paid for the transportation and didn’t have the right to anything. Worst experience ever and a huge waste of money.

Full-Day Private Pisa and Lucca Tour with optional Leaning Tower: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Full-Day Private Pisa and Lucca Tour with optional Leaning Tower cost?
+
Prices start at $453 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 Full-Day Private Pisa and Lucca Tour with optional Leaning Tower take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Full-Day Private Pisa and Lucca Tour with optional Leaning Tower worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 20 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 Full-Day Private Pisa and Lucca Tour with optional Leaning Tower?
+
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 Full-Day Private Pisa and Lucca Tour with optional Leaning Tower suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Pisa and Lucca Tour with optional Leaning Tower?
+
Around 7 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Private Pisa and Lucca Tour with optional Leaning Tower 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 -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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.
