Tourist attraction
Ponte Vecchio
The Ponte Vecchio is one of the most famous bridges in Florence, and when you visit, you'll walk across this iconic bridge full of history, medieval buildings, and sparkling jewelry shops. The bridge consists of three arches and was built in 1345 by Taddeo Gaddi, replacing older versions from Roman times. Long ago, butcher shops lined the bridge, but the Medici family replaced all the shops with wooden shutters, goldsmiths, and jewelers to clean up the area.
As you explore, look up to see the Vasari Corridor, a secret walkway the Medici used to move between Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. In World War II, it was the only bridge the Nazis didn’t destroy. In the middle, you’ll find a statue of Benvenuto Cellini, where you can leave a love lock like many tourists do—another reason to experience the charm of the Ponte Vecchio for yourself.
Visit Ponte Vecchio to walk through history, enjoy the views, and create your special moment in Florence!

It serves not only as a place of worship but also as a monumental tribute to Italy's most illustrious figures. Spanning over 12,000 square meters, Santa Croce is a treasure trove of art, culture, and history, offering a captivating journey through centuries of Florentine and Renaissance heritage. With its stunning frescoes and the final resting places of legends like Michelangelo and Galileo, Santa Croce offers an unforgettable journey through art and history. This unique hub where spirituality, beauty, and memory intertwine is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the soul of Italy.
Tourist sight
Piazza San Marco
Piazza San Marco, or St. Mark’s Square, is the main public square in Venice, Italy, and one of the most famous in the world. When you visit, you’ll see landmarks like St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, the Bell Tower, and the Clock Tower. Napoleon called it “the drawing room of Europe,” and as you walk through the square, you’ll feel the rich history of the Venetian Republic all around you.
You can explore museums, admire golden mosaics, spot the winged lion, and enjoy the open space where people gather. During acqua alta (high tides), the San Marco square often floods, but raised walkways help you get around. Don’t miss the Piazzetta di San Marco, which leads to the Grand Canal and two tall granite columns that mark an important piece of Venetian history.

Did a day trip to Pisa, Siena, and San Gimignano — and wow, Tuscany really knows how to show off. 🌻✨
Pisa was all about the iconic Leaning Tower moment. Even if you’ve seen it in photos a thousand times, seeing it in person still hits different. 📸
Siena surprised me the most — such a beautiful medieval city with so much character. Walking through its narrow streets felt like stepping back in time. The cathedral? Stunning.
And San Gimignano… easily the highlight. Those towers, the view, the vibe — it’s like a fairytale hilltop town frozen in the most magical way. Plus, the gelato? Chef’s kiss. 🍨
If you’re exploring Tuscany, this trio is a must. Each place has its own charm, and together they make a perfect, unforgettable day. ❤️🇮🇹

The Tuscany day trip was amazing! The itinerary was well planned, covering Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa all in one day. The guide was knowledgeable, the views were beautiful, and the lunch was authentic and delicious. Highly recommended!

The line to enter the church was very long, and the Italian tour guide had a very strong accent. If you're a native Mandarin speaker, you'll need to pay close attention to understand the explanations 😇. However, being able to skip the long line in the Italian heat and enter directly is worth the price of admission! I highly recommend this tour.

This tour is perfect for those staying in Florence who want to visit the surrounding towns. The itinerary for the day is as follows: 7:20 AM Meet at the Florence SMN train station – Pisa (1 hour) – Winery near San Gimignano (Lunch + 3 wine tastings) – San Gimignano (1 hour) – Siena (1 hour) – 7:30 PM Return to SMN train station. The whole trip is quite compact, with only about 1 hour in each location. If you want to explore properly, the time is not really enough. However, its strength is its convenience, as you travel by bus and it's not tiring, so it's still very suitable. The tour guide, Barbara, is very friendly and responsible. I recommend this tour! (The entire tour is explained in English).

The experience is great. it might have been a bit better if the guide gives a little bit of information while travelling on the bus. otherwise, everything is great.

The trip was great! We only had a few days to explore Italy, and this trip allowed us to check out the iconic landmarks of Pisa and Florence in a day. Of course, these cities have a lot to offer and experience, but it was enough, especially with the limited time we had. As you may know, a tour is only as good as the guide and our driver, and here: Aaron and Giuseppe respectively, and I felt that I was able to appreciate the place more knowing about its history before I came to see it. Like I'd hear it on the bus on the way to the city, and I'd see it in front of me—knowing its significance and importance—made it all much more meaningful. It really did. Go get this tour if you want a taste of these beautiful cities, and come back to them when you can. But you won't regret this. I definitely don't, and I'm left with a feeling of wanting to return when I can.

It was the best decision to join the excursion to Pisa! This is the easiest way to visit the touristy landmark because you get a tour guide to share the history while touring. We were also given some free and easy time to walk around.
