I was taking this tour with my kids and unfortunately was running late to the bus meet up spot, I called and was able to beg and plead with the guide to wait for us for 8 minutes past the time of departure. I was very apologetic, and basically in tears when we entered the bus. I was expecting that the guide was upset but honestly never would have expected to be put on blast over the loud speaker... the guide heavily put emphasis on being on time to respect everyone, that she went on aggressively for several minutes about how important timeliness is. I'm aware that my being late caused a disruption but the way it was delt with was unprofessional, rude, and honestly just confusing. Some people are here for a first time, we don't know everything about the area or have control over cabs canceling and not showing up. Being strict is one thing but being rude and hurtful for the sake of it is just nasty.

Giordano was a super friendly and motivated guide, who told us a lot about Pisa and Tuscany, and other places worth mentioning there, and also gave us special tips. The whole thing in fluent English, Spanish and also a little German :) Thanks also to bus driver Giovanni!

It was a very easy process to find our guide and get on the bus. They were very communicative and provided easy instructions. The bus to Pisa was nice and spacious and good AC. Our tour guide Ricardo once we arrived to Pisa was very knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. As expected, Pisa was a magical experience that my family will take forever. Great experience with Headout .

We absolutely loved the locations! It was easy to get our tickets, they had a good mix of free time, wine tasting and lunch and the option of a walking and cathedral tour in Siena. The tour guide did a really good job of managing a large group but it was a mission to get such a large group all back at the same time which was frustrating. Nice tour but if you don't like large groups, rather visit the locations on your own.

Why go on a Florence to Tuscany day trip

towers of San Gimignano
  • Ease of travel: Florence is the most well-connected and seamless starting point for your day trip to Tuscany. You can reach most places within 1 to 2 hours, depending on the mode of transport you choose.
  • Change of scenery: Tuscany is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of Florence. Soak up the Italian countryside, drink some world-renowned wine, and visit some historic towns like San Gimignano and Pisa.
  • Take a step back in time: If you’re seeking an experience that makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time, the Romanesque and Gothic monuments of Siena, the grand cathedral of Pisa, and the towers of San Gimignano are must-sees on your trip.
  • Curated experiences: There’s something in Tuscany for everyone! History nerds, culinary enthusiasts, and nature lovers can all find a tour catering to their interests. Pick a guided tour exploring popular tourist sites like Pisa or San Gimignano, take a cooking class, or embark on a local wine-tasting safari.

Things to know before your Florence to Tuscany day trip

  • Depending on the town you choose to visit in the Tuscan countryside, Pisa is roughly 88 km away from Florence, San Gimignano is about 59 km away, and Siena is about 78 km away. All these towns, however, are easily accessible via public and private transport.
  • If you’re looking to learn more about the sights of Tuscany, then guided tours might be the best option for you. Any questions you might have, your tour guides will answer them with in-depth insights. In addition, most guided tours offer round-trip transfers, so you don’t have to worry about the logistics of your trip.
  • If you’d rather fly solo and prefer exploring sites at your own pace, you can opt for a non-guided tour that includes a round-trip transfer. With this option, you needn’t worry about transportation while also having the flexibility to spend your time as you please.
  • Our guided tours are curated for you to have the most hassle-free, comfortable experience. We offer round trip transfers for your Florence to Tuscany day trip. So, all you have to do is enjoy your journey in an air-conditioned coach or minivan and marvel at the Italian countryside.
  • You want to see more than just Pisa on your day trip to Tuscany? Opt for tours that will take you to other historic towns like the Semi Private Tuscany Grand Tour – Best of Siena, San Gimignano, Chianti and Pisa.
  • Your Florence to Tuscany day trip can take anywhere between 5 to 14 hours, including transfers. Most of our tours include lunch, so you don’t have to worry about packing snacks for your day of adventure.
  • If you’re making your own way to Tuscany, don’t forget to research restaurants and meal options beforehand so you don’t spend precious time wondering where to eat on the day of your trip.
  • We recommend you book your Florence to Tuscany day trip 2-3 weeks in advance during peak season (June-August). If you’re booking in the off/non-peak seasons, you can book your tour a month in advance.
  • You might also want to note that the Leaning Tower of Pisa and most wine tasting experiences in Tuscany are not wheelchair accessible due to the uneven terrain of the landscapes.
  • Exploring Tuscany can take a long time, especially if you opt for a tour option that takes you to multiple sites. So wear your most comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.

Best time to take a Florence to Tuscany day trip

Peak vs. non-peak times: Despite the harsh weather, Tuscany is more crowded during the summer months (June to August) as many people plan their vacations. It is the busiest time of year and also the most expensive. If you’re looking to travel on a budget and would prefer thinner crowds, plan your visit for the late spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October).

Climate considerations: For a comfortable trip, the best time to visit Tuscany is between April to May or between September to October. Temperatures range from 17°C-23°C (63°F-73°F) in spring and 20°C-26°C (68°F-79°F) in autumn. Summer temperatures are between 25°C-31°C, (79°F-88°F) so travel might feel more exhausting. However, you will get to see the fields in bloom and consume plenty of fresh produce (such as strawberries, fried zucchini flowers, and purple figs) during your visit.

How to make the most of your Florence to Tuscany day trip

  • Wear your most comfortable shoes. You will spend a lot of time exploring on your feet.
  • When visiting religious sites, check in advance to see if there’s a dress code. Most cathedrals, churches, and monasteries in Tuscany only permit entry if your knees and shoulders are covered. This means no shorts, short skirts, or tank tops. If it’s a hot day, carry a cardigan or shawl with you to wrap around your shoulders when you enter the site.
  • Italian summers are HOT. So, if you’re a summer traveler, make sure to carry a reusable water bottle. Stay hydrated as you check things off your bucket list!
  • Beware of pickpockets, especially when traveling during peak hours or seasons. Keep an eye and hand on your wallet, keys, and phone if you’re taking public transport to and from Tuscany.
  • Brush up on your basic Italian. While most tourist spots and businesses have staff that can converse in English, a few Italian greetings and phrases can go a long way in helping locals warm up to you.
  • If you’re exploring Pisa on your own, make sure you plan your route in advance, depending on the time you have. Apart from the Leaning Tower, don’t miss Piazza dei Miracoli, the Camposanto cemetery, and the Grand Cathedral.

Frequently asked questions about Florence to Tuscany day trip

What can I expect on a Florence to Tuscany day trip?

On your Florence to Tuscany day trip, you will see the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the surrounding Piazza Dei Miracoli. Walk through the vineyards of Siena, indulge in an authentic wine-tasting experience, and try some of the world’s best gelato in San Gimignano.

Is the climb to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa safe?

The Leaning Tower of Pisa only gives the illusion of falling over, so it is safe for visitors to climb to the top. However, if you struggle with vertigo, respiratory issues, joint issues, or claustrophobia, we recommend you skip this one.

What must I carry on my Florence to Tuscany day trip?

We recommend you travel light since your trip will involve a lot of sightseeing on foot. You do not want to be lugging around a heavy bag and risk tiring yourself out too early in the day. If you’re traveling in the summer, don’t forget to bring sunscreen. The Italian sun can be merciless.

Should I bring snacks while visiting Tuscany, or are there food options?

In many Tuscan towns, you will find plenty of restaurants where you can grab a bite to eat. However, day trips can be long and demand constant energy so bring some snacks for the road anyway.

I am a vegetarian. Will it be easy for me to find food?

Most tours offer a vegetarian option as part of their meals. However, you must specify your preferences at the time of booking. If you’re traveling on your own, we recommend browsing restaurant menus ahead of time and calling them to make a reservation.

Can I take children on the Florence to Tuscany day trip?

Yes, you can. All the tours are family-friendly, although minors will only be served non-alcoholic beverages at lunch or during wine-tasting sessions.

Is Pisa wheelchair accessible?

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is not wheelchair accessible. However, most places in the town of Pisa, the Baptistery, and the Grand Cathedral have accessibility ramps.
