Florence and Lucca Shore Excursion from Livorno Port

About this tour

A 9-hour private excursion from Livorno port to two of Tuscany's most compelling cities. Your English-speaking driver ferries you through the countryside in a climate-controlled van, dropping you in Lucca for 2.5 hours to wander its Renaissance walls and piazzas, then Florence for five hours to tackle the Uffizi, Duomo, or simply get lost in the backstreets. You set the rhythm entirely—no ticking itineraries, no shepherd herding.

Highlights

• Lucca's intact medieval walls and traffic-free centro historico
• Florence's cathedral, galleries and Renaissance architecture at leisure
• Private transport with informative driver commentary en route
• Air-conditioned van for port-to-city-to-port comfort
• Port collection and return included in price
• Freedom to skip queues or linger as you choose

What to expect

Your driver collects you from Livorno and drives inland toward Lucca, offering commentary on passing landmarks. You'll have 2.5 hours to explore Lucca's walled old town—enough for a circuit of the ramparts, a coffee in the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, and a peek into the Duomo. Then back to the van for the journey south to Florence, where five hours awaits. That's roughly two hours per major museum (if you queue and dash) or a proper afternoon of wandering neighbourhoods, smaller churches, and aperitivo stops. Your driver waits; you decide the tempo. Note that drivers remain with the van—they won't enter churches or museums themselves.
