3.Full day shore excursion to Florence and Pisa from Livorno with tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 968 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $52

Spend about three hours exploring Florence and one hour in Pisa on a full-day shore trip from Livorno. Guides such as Sabrina, Ariana, Luca, and Ignaz provide maps, city tips, and help with meeting points. The tasting is a brief sample of local Tuscan products, not a full wine experience.

“Unfortunately it was pouring rain all day long, but the tour operator can’t do anything about the weather. We had been to Florence twice before, so just walked to the Old Bridge area, and walked around for a bit, and went to a cafe. Unfortunately a couple people didn’t make it back to our meeting point and after waiting an extra 20-25 mins for them, it put us behind schedule, so we didn’t have much time in PISA, like 45 mins, but again it was still raining. The tour guides were good, and the bus driver actually was nice enough to take us right back to our ship instead of…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 459 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $41

Travel from Livorno to Florence and Pisa by air-conditioned coach with Wi-Fi, then explore on your own or add a Florence walking tour, Accademia entry, or Leaning Tower climb. Guides such as Alessandro, Marina, and Matteo lead the day, which runs about eight hours.

“Good value compared to the cruise line. My only complaint is that we did the optional tickets into Academia and the Leaning Tower. Both of which they gave us tickets with over an hour wait. At Academia, they were running behind so by the time we got out it was straight on to Pisa. I would have thought that they could plan it better to where you could get into those sites and not stand in line so long.”

“This was a private tour of Pisa and Florence. Since we were only in port for the day, I wanted to make the most of our time in these two cities. A private car picked us up at the port and drove us first to Pisa then to Florence. In Florence a private tour guide took us around the city and into the Galleria of Academia, which the statue of David is housed. She had already our tickets, so we didn't have to wait in line to purchase them. The lines are very long on most days to get into the museums in Florence, so you secure your tickets in…”

From Livorno, ride an air-conditioned coach to Lucca for three hours of free time, then continue to Pisa for the Piazza dei Miracoli. Add a guided Lucca walk or timed Leaning Tower entry. Guides such as Federico and Irenia are praised for clear directions and good local tips.

“Mattia and our driver George were great! George even had cold waters available to purchase if needed. We loved Lucca, wish there was more time to spend there but cruise ship departure time limited us. Only downside to the trip was, we left our bag on our seats between the stops, which Mattia said we could do. However, after we got back on the bus, two people sat there and refused to move. Obviously this was not the tour guides fault, but it was ignorance from the others pedestrians on the tour.”
