Florence & Pisa

Florence & Pisa day trip from Livorno – Shore Excursion from the port of Livorno

The tour will begin with your private driver collecting you from your hotel or cruise ship in Livorno (another custom location in the area can be agreed) with a luxury sedan or minivan, and after 1.5H drive you will reach Florence. As the ‘pearl of the Renaissance’, Florence hosts an incredible number of magnificent monuments, museums and churches. You can explore the well-preserved architecture of the historical center and meet Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia Gallery.

You will meet your official local guide and start a 3H walking tour in the magnificent center of Florence starting from the cathedral, the basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower, also known as the Duomo. You’ll visit this impressive church and see its many works of art. Just outside, the San Giovanni Baptistry, and you’ll learn about the history of this old octagonal building. Next stop the bell tower, a great example of Florentine Gothic architecture by Giotto. You will then reach Piazza Signoria walking along Via dei Calzaiuoli. The square is dominated by Palazzo Vecchio and Loggia dei Lanzi, with its statues and Neptune’s fountain. The walk will continue through the courtyard of the Uffizi and heading towards the Arno river, arriving to the world famous Ponte Vecchio.

If you wish to see the David by Michelangelo, probably the most famous sculpture in the world, we can make reservation for skip the line tickets (this is optional and not included). Just after your guided tour, you will have some free time for shopping and taste authentic Tuscan food for lunch. You private guide will be happy to suggest you some of the best restaurants and cafès.

After lunch, you will then continue with your private driver heading to Pisa. You’ll have the chance to visit the centre of the town with a portfolio of well-maintained Romanesque buildings, Gothic churches and Renaissance squares. A charm you will definitely discover starting from Piazza dei Miracoli with The Leaning Tower and the magnificent Cathedral. If you wish to climb on top of the Leaning Tower, we can make for you the necessary advanced reservation (this is optional and not included).

At the end of the day, the tour will conclude and your private driver will take you back to your hotel/cruise ship in Livorno or other desired location.

Please note that Pisa main attractions are located around Piazza dei Miracoli, so you will be able to comfortably do the visit on your own. The private guide will be available only in Florence. This shore excursion from Livorno is designed for cruise passengers who like to visit Florence and Pisa in total comfort and without being part of a group.
