What to expect
Your driver meets you at Livorno port and drives you across rolling Tuscan hills toward Florence—roughly 2–2.5 hours depending on traffic. Once in the city, you'll spend the bulk of your time on foot exploring both iconic landmarks and hidden piazzas your guide knows well. The pace is steady but manageable for most fitness levels. You're free to linger where you choose, ask questions, and absorb the city's rhythm. The return journey to port mirrors the morning drive; your guide builds in buffer time to ensure you're back before your ship leaves.
Good to know
Museum and attraction entry fees aren't included, so budget separately if you want to visit interiors. Wear comfortable walking shoes—Florence demands it. The minivan holds up to 6 passengers; wheelchair accessibility requires advance notice. Bring a hat and sunscreen for summer visits. Tell the operator your ship's exact docking and re-boarding times at booking.
