About this tour
This eight-hour shore excursion departs Livorno port with private minivan transport to explore two of Tuscany's most celebrated cities. You'll spend the morning in Pisa, then travel inland to Florence for afternoon sightseeing at landmarks including the Duomo, Piazzale Michelangelo, and Piazza Santa Croce. Your licensed guide meets you dockside and ensures timely return to your ship, avoiding the cruise-group crowds.

What to expect
Your driver collects you from the Livorno cruise terminal with your name displayed, then drives you to Pisa for initial exploration before heading inland to Florence. You'll have time at several major piazzas—the Duomo, Piazzale Michelangelo (a elevated vantage point), Santa Croce, and the San Lorenzo market district—though the itinerary emphasises key stops rather than deep dives. Expect walking between sites and busy tourist areas, especially around the cathedral. The pace is brisk to fit both cities into eight hours, so this suits keen sightseers comfortable with a structured schedule rather than leisurely wanderers.
Good to know
