I am so excited and do not know where to start? My mother and I are planning to travel to Pistoia Italy in order to uncover some family history. We want to go in early June of this year and would like to also visit Florence. I was thinking of flying into Pisa and stay over night there then make our way to Pistoia to spend at least 3 to 4 nights and then to Florence. How could I make this easy for me? We are not worrying about any language barriers at this point because I have been told that a lot of people speak English in the tourist areas.......should I have any concern about this? Also, I know that Pistoia is considerably smaller than Pisa or Florence but does anyone have any recommendations for that area? If I am landing/arriving in Pisa, what public transit would be the best for traveling to Pistoia from there? Any recommendations on places to stay in Florence? Thank you greatly for your advice!
