About this tour
This nine-hour private tour from Livorno sweeps you through Tuscany's architectural heartland, starting in Pisa where you'll explore Piazza dei Miracoli beyond the iconic leaning tower, then heading inland to the medieval walled city of Lucca. You'll wander its narrow streets, climb the Renaissance ramparts for countryside views, and finish with a countryside drive through rolling Tuscan landscape before returning to port. A driver-guide handles transport in a climate-controlled vehicle, leaving you free to soak in each stop at your own pace.
Highlights
- Piazza dei Miracoli: Pisa's cathedral complex with Leaning Tower
- Lucca's Renaissance walls: walkable ramparts with panoramic views
- Medieval Lucca: narrow streets, shops, local cafés
- Tuscan countryside: rural drives between destinations

- Optional tower climb and bicycle hire on city walls
What to expect
You'll be collected from your cruise ship and driven to Pisa first, where you have a couple of hours to photograph Piazza dei Miracoli, browse the square, grab coffee, or book a tower ascent (subject to availability). The drive to Lucca winds through farmland before you reach the walled city, where you're left to explore independently—grab lunch, shop, or walk the elevated circuit of walls by foot or bike. You'll catch views across vineyards and villages from above. The return journey includes a slower drive through typical Tuscan countryside before heading back to the port with time to spare.
