He will still be able to give you information on what youre going to visit, and since the tour is private youll be able to customize the itinerary.
If you wish, you have the option to include a local private licensed guide for an additional fee.
The stops youll be able to do during your tour will be to visit:
- Pisa

Pisa:
The town of Pisa is famous mostly because of the leaning tower. The tower is actually the bell tower of the towns cathedral. During a visit of Pisa, of course the leaning tower will be the must see. But spending more time in town youll find out that many more interesting sites can be visited, such as Piazza dei Miracoli, the Cathedral and more if time allows.
San Gimignano:
San Gimignano is a small walled medieval hill town. Known as the Town of Fine Towers, San Gimignano is famous for its medieval architecture, unique in the preservation of about a dozen of its tower houses, with its hilltop setting and encircling walls form "an unforgettable skyline". Within the walls, the well-preserved buildings include notable examples of both Romanesque and Gothic architecture, with outstanding examples of secular buildings as well as churches. The "Historic Centre of San Gimignano", is a Unesco World Heritage Site.
At the end of the tour the driver will take you back to your accommodation in Rome.
The tour will be a total of 12 hours from pick up to drop off. Suggested pick up is at 8.00 am, no later than that.
