Hi,
My husband and I are planning a trip to Italy around early to Mid-November. We were wondering if you could advise on the following:
1. Can Florence be completed in 2 days with a brief visit to Pisa?
2. Can all the main attractions in Florence be covered on foot?
3. This is a list of places we are thinking about going to in Florence - are they worth seeing & should we consider getting an express pass/advanced ticket for any (or all) of them (if they are available):
(a) Piazzale Michelangelo
(b) Galleria dell'Accademia
(c) Florence Cathedral
(d) Uffizi Gallery
(e) Boboli Gardens
(f) Ponte Vecchio
4. Would it be worthwhile to invest in any walking tours and/or hop on hop off bus tours for the above-named sights?
5. With respect to Venice, I have only found a gondola ride down the grand canal with views of the Rialto Bridge etc. to be worth our while. Thus, we found that we would only really need 1 day in Venice - is there anything else that we could do in Venice?
6. As for the gondola ride - can be buy the tickets there or should we book in advance and roughly how much should it cost?
Sorry for bombarding you! We read your website and you seem to be well traveled around Italy so we would like to make sure that we are getting the most from our trip there.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks
