Up to Florence!
Only going to use Jewish Florence Tours if they get back to me that others joined and they can offer it for much less than the 50€ pp they currently want. Otherwise, I plan on just going to the Shul myself. There is a short presentation when you enter and it's given every half hour alternating in Italian and English. I emailed them asking if English is on the hour or the 1/2 hour. Will post when they respond.
After that, I plan on lunch which I'll need to bring from Rome and then going to see David. I decided against Uffizi because I don't think it will interest us that much. Tip for David - TA reviews say the line is pretty long and to book in advance. However, Accademia's site charges a 4.5€ fee for booking online, total of 21.5€ pp. But, once again, on Musement one of the last-listed tours in Florence is
Accademia On sale now for 20€ minus the 10€ POINTSGUY discount.
It says the ticket is only valid for the time you choose, so make sure to plan your schedule before picking a time.
After that, I'm just thinking of walking around to Ponte Vecchio for a while and then continue on to Pisa.
Leaning Tower is 18€ on the direct site and surprisingly has no booking fee, but tickets can only be booked 20 days in advance. Once again, our friends at Musement have a ticket option for the
Tower at the bottom of the Pisa tours list. 21€ which goes down to 11€ with the 10€ discount.
Seems like tickets are only valid for the time chosen, so plan your schedule before you buy.
