Description
Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Renaissance capital of Florence and the historic city of Pisa while docked in Livorno or La Spezia.
This is a fully private experience, meaning your English-speaking driver will meet you directly at your cruise dock in a comfortable, VIP car or minivan, bypassing the crowds of large tour buses and setting the perfect pace for your group.
The trip begins in Florence, where a licensed private guide will lead you on a comprehensive 3-hour walking tour. You will enjoy timed entry to the world-renowned Academy Gallery to stand before Michelangelo’s David. After touring Florence’s highlights, your private driver will whisk you away to Pisa to admire the truly unique Leaning Tower of Pisa and allow for free time to stroll, shop and capture memorable photos before safely returning you to your port.
Things to know before the tour

Important information
We need the full names of all the participants because the Academy Gallery entrance tickets are nominative. All the participants will have their own ticket with the full name on, they are not transferrable and cannot be changed nor refunded. You will need your IDs (minors and infants included) because they will be checked by the guards at the entrance. If you don’t bring your IDs or if the names don’t match, you will be denied access. You don’t need the physical ID, even a copy or a picture is fine as long as it’s well visible.
