About this tour
A private eight-hour excursion from La Spezia port connecting two standout Tuscan destinations. Start in Lucca, where Renaissance ramparts encircle the entire old town, then head to Pisa to see its famous tilted cathedral tower. Between the two cities, you'll pull into a working family farm for a three-course lunch paired with five local wines and oils, tasting your way through genuine Tuscan production.
Highlights
- Lucca's intact medieval walls and Renaissance streetscape
- Pisa's Leaning Tower and cathedral piazza
- Three-course lunch at a working Tuscan farm
- Five regional wine and olive oil tastings
- Private air-conditioned vehicle with expert driver
- Port-to-port collection and drop-off included
What to expect
Your driver collects you from the cruise terminal and drives you inland to Lucca first. You'll walk the perimeter ramparts and browse the compact historic centre on foot—allow two hours for this. You then drive to a rural winery where lunch unfolds over the better part of two hours: a proper three-course meal cooked by the family, paired methodically with their wines and cold-pressed oils. After eating and tasting, you'll head to Pisa, spending roughly ninety minutes around the cathedral square and tower before the return drive to port. The pace is leisurely; this isn't a tick-box sprint.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for walking Lucca's cobbled streets and rampart paths. The farm lunch is hearty; come hungry. Bring sun protection—both cities are exposed. Prams and strollers work fine in both town centres. All tastings remain non-alcoholic if preferred; inform your driver beforehand.
