About this tour
This eight-hour private shore excursion from Livorno port whisks you through Tuscany to two of Italy's most celebrated cities. Start in Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli, where you'll explore the cathedral, baptistery and that famously tilted tower at your own pace. Then drive through rolling Tuscan landscape to Florence, where a local guide reveals Renaissance treasures including Michelangelo's David at the Accademia. You'll return to your ship with time to spare.

What to expect
Your driver collects you from the cruise terminal and takes you straight to Pisa's main square, giving you roughly two hours to wander the cathedral precinct, climb the baptistery steps or join queues for the tower (tickets purchased separately). After regrouping, you'll cruise an hour through Tuscan farmland and vineyards toward Florence. Your guide meets you in the city centre to navigate the Renaissance galleries and streets, culminating at the Accademia to see David's marble form. Lunch is your own affair; factor in time for a quick bite before departure.
Good to know
Entry fees to Pisa's monuments and Florence's galleries aren't included—budget accordingly. Pisa involves significant walking and standing. The drive includes some winding roads; those sensitive to motion should request a seat near the front. Wear comfortable shoes. Infant car seats available upon request.
