When disembarking from your cruise ship you will need to board a free shuttle bus for the two-minute journey to the coach park, where all private tours leave from.
You will be met by a Cruising Excursions representative at the coach park. Your English-speaking professional guide will escort you to your air-conditioned transportation ready to commence your tour of Pisa and Florence.
The drive from the cruise port to Pisa takes about 45 minutes. Your dedicated guide will give you running commentary throughout the journey and will stay with you throughout the day, except during your free time in Pisa and Florence.
At Pisa you'll get approximately 45-60 minutes to experience the attractions of the Piazza dei Miracoli (Miracle Square), including the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Pisa Cathedral, the Pisa Baptistry and the Camposanto Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery).
The coach will then transport you through the beautiful Tuscan countryside to Florence, birthplace of the Renaissance - a journey of approximately one and-a-half hours. On arrival, you'll be taken on a short walk, passing the Accademia Gallery on to the Duomo Square to set the meeting point. From here, you will embark upon a walking tour of the historical centre of Florence, starting from the Santa Maria Del Fiore Cathedral to the Baptistery, Giotto's Bell Tower and Brunelleschi's Dome. You will pass the Piazza della Repubblica, the Orsanmichele Church, the Piazza della Signoria (Palazzo Vecchio), and the Uffizi Gallery, ending with a view over the Arno river and Ponte Vecchio.
You'll then have free time to explore the narrow streets full of shops, café bars and trattorias – or to simply relax and admire the beautiful views across the river.
After some free time to dine, shop or simply relax, your transportation will return you to Livorno port in plenty of time to rejoin your cruise ship.
