The 3 Best 1-Hour Experiences in Florence

1.Beyond the Tower (1h round-trip tour)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 238 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $36Our pick

A 1-hour small-group Pisa tour that goes beyond the Leaning Tower, with museum, church, bridge, and mural stops plus English guidance.

“This was far the best tour that we had in Pisa, from the start our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, had loads of enthusiasm and you could tell that she loved her city. I just wish I could remember her name but I put this down to my age!! We actually went over to the south of the river (The Old Town) which was very interesting & we loved the Murals. I would also say it was good value for money too. I would definitely recommend to family/friends. Lyn Ray London UK”

One of our friends is very afraid of heights but said he never felt anxious during the ride. The…”
