Livorno Shore Excursion- This tour is best suited for those who wish to maximize their time by having a very organized itinerary. In Florence you have a licensed tour guide who provides a walking tour of the city and you choose to visit either the Accademia or the Uffizi Gallery. In the late afternoon you stop to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

After meeting your driver guide at the pier in Livorno, your exploration begins with a drive through the lovely Tuscan countryside to Florence. As an introduction to Florence a stop at the Piazzale Michelangelo is your starting point. From this look out point there are beautiful panoramic views of the Renaissance city of Florence.

Next you drive into the city center and meet your licensed guide who will provide a walking tour to see some of the famous monuments in Florence such as the Gothic Duomo (cathedral), Giotto's bell tower, the Baptistery doors, the Palazzo Vecchio, Loggia and Ponte Vecchio bridge. Your guide also joins you in the museum of your choice, the Accademia or the Uffizi Gallery.

The Accademia Gallery features Michelangelo's David and the prisoner statues, an excellent option for those who prefer a short museum visit. The Uffizi Gallery is the largest collection of Italian Renaissance paintings and is recommended for more serious art lovers. You choose the museum of your choice at the time of reservation so we can have VIP tickets ready so you avoid major lines.

After exploring Florence with your licensed guide you have free time for lunch (meal not included) and a short amount of time for shopping.
