Overview
Arriving at Pisa International Airport (Galileo Galilei) and heading to Florence Cathedral (Duomo)? A private transfer is the most comfortable way to begin your time in Florence. Instead of taking the train to Pisa Centrale and changing for Florence with your luggage, a professional, English-speaking driver meets you in the arrivals hall, helps with your luggage and drives you directly to Florence Cathedral (Duomo) in Florence historic centre.
Tuscany's largest airport, on the coast ~85 km west of Florence. Every transfer includes real-time flight monitoring, meet & greet, luggage assistance and a fixed, all-inclusive fare — a genuine door-to-door service with no meter and no hidden charges.
Why Choose a Private Transfer
From Pisa, the alternatives are slow: the train involves a walk or shuttle to Pisa Centrale, a change and a further ride to Florence's Santa Maria Novella, then a taxi or walk to Florence Cathedral (Duomo) with your bags. A private transfer removes every step — one fixed price, a driver waiting for your flight and a direct ~85 km ride to Florence Cathedral (Duomo).
