About this tour
Skip the long drive to Florence and explore two Tuscan gems in a single afternoon from La Spezia. This private tour whisks you through Pisa's famous piazza before heading to Lucca, a walled medieval city where 16th-century fortifications now crown a tree-lined promenade. Wander Renaissance streets, hunt down proper gelato, and browse everything from high-street names to independent artisan shops. Kids under 12 travel free, making it a relaxed family option that doesn't eat into your sea time.
Highlights
- Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli and its iconic leaning tower
- Lucca's atmospheric circuit of Renaissance walls
- Tree-lined rampart walk with city views
- Mix of designer boutiques and local craft shops
- Children under 12 travel at no extra cost
- Air-conditioned vehicle and guaranteed pier return
What to expect
Your driver collects you from the pier and heads south for roughly an hour. Once in Pisa, you'll have time to see the main sights around the cathedral square—the tower is hard to miss, and the piazza itself is worth a proper look. Then it's back in the car for the short hop to Lucca. Here you can stroll the ramparts (genuinely pleasant, not a slog), dip into the town's web of medieval lanes, grab lunch if you fancy it, and browse shops ranging from familiar international brands to workshops selling local jewellery and textiles. The driver ensures you're back at the ship on time.
Good to know
Both towns are walkable but involve some cobbles and steps—comfortable shoes essential. Bring water and sun protection. Food and drinks aren't included, though both cities have abundant cafés and trattorias. Prams, specialist infant seats, and wheelchair access are all available.
