Itinerary

- 8am (approximately) Pick up from La Spezia Port (or the time that has been decided for your tour) - Arrive into Florence around 10.30am, see some of the wonderful sites including the fabulous architecture of Renaissance with Brunelleschi Dome and the Bell Tower designed by Giotto, Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore, Palazzo Vecchio and the open museum. - 1.30pm Visit to the Accademia Gallery with Michaelangelo's David (for those who have booked in advance) for those who have not reserved tickets there will be free time. - Depart from Florence to head back to La Spezia port at 2.30pm

You will be met at the port by a Cruising Excursions representative who will then guide you to your air conditioned transportation ready to commence your tour.

This tour is a small group tour with a maximum of 8 passengers.  The tour will be in an 8 seater air conditioned minivan allowing us to get closer to the center of Florence compared to the larger group tours.

Our driver then takes us through the beautiful Tuscan countryside (approx. 2 hours) to the fascinating city of Florence. Built on both sides of the Arno River, Florence has had a significant impact not only on the culture of Italy but that of Europe as well. We drive up the Viale dei Colli to the amazing terrace of Piazzale Michelangelo. Here you can enjoy a breathless view of the city, whilst our guide tells us about some of the churches, palaces and bridges we can see from our vantage point.

Heading into Florence’s city centre we’ll see amongst other sights:-

  • The Piazza Santa Croce
  • Santa Croce Church
  • Piazza del Duomo and Giotto’s Bell Tower
  • Piazza della Signoria (Palazzo Vecchio)
  • Piazza della Republica
  • The elegant Ponte Vecchio (The Old Bridge)

We have free time to explore the narrow streets full of shops, café bars and trattorias – or simply relax and admire the beautiful views across the river.

Comfortable shoes are recommended for this tour as there will be a lot of walking involved. After a fascinating day discovering and exploring through these charming Tuscan towns we return to La Spezia in plenty of time to rejoin our cruise ship.
