Combine the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa with a private drive through sun-gilded Tuscan hills to a family estate for olive oil and Chianti tastings. The scenery, the history, and the flavours make this a quintessential Tuscany day.
What to expect
Livorno to Pisa is a mere 20 minutes by private car, so you arrive at the Piazza dei Miracoli before the tour-bus rush. Your expert guide brings the baptistery, cathedral, and tower to life with stories of medieval rivalry and architectural ambition. After the tower, you wind through cypress-lined roads to a boutique Tuscan estate where you taste single-estate olive oil, aged pecorino, and reserve Chianti in a stone-vaulted cellar. The drive back along the Via Aurelia follows the Ligurian coast — spectacular at golden hour.
Good to know
Book Leaning Tower climb tickets (opapisa.it) at least 2 weeks ahead; timed slots go fast in summer. Pisa is only 20 min from port — ideal for shorter port calls. Wear flat shoes on the tower's marble stairs.
