Accompanied by a licensed English speaking driver-guide, you will receive commentary and local insights while traveling between destinations, then have free time to explore the places that interest you most.
Before departing the cruise port, you will discuss your interests with your driver-guide, who will recommend an itinerary based on your priorities, available time, and current traffic conditions.

This experience includes a private driver-guide providing commentary while traveling in the vehicle, and at each stop you are free to explore independently. Your driver-guide will gladly suggest walking routes, restaurants, shopping areas, viewpoints, and the best use of your available time, but does not accompany you inside monuments or museums.
Because this is a flexible itinerary, the exact sightseeing schedule depends on your interests, traffic conditions, weather, and the amount of time you choose to spend at each location. If you decide to visit the interior of churches, museums, or other attractions, admission tickets are purchased separately.
Recommended Itinerary:
After meeting your driver-guide at the Livorno cruise pier, begin a scenic drive through the rolling hills and vineyards of the Tuscan countryside as you make your way toward Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, about 90 kilometers (56 miles) northeast of Livorno.
A popular first stop is Piazzale Michelangelo, where sweeping panoramic views provide an excellent introduction to one of Italy's most beautiful cities. From this elevated viewpoint you can admire Florence's famous skyline dominated by Brunelleschi's magnificent Duomo.
Continue into Florence's historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982, where you will have free time to explore the city's celebrated landmarks. Popular highlights include the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo), Giotto's Bell Tower, the Baptistery, Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio, the Loggia dei Lanzi, and the iconic Ponte Vecchio spanning the Arno River. Many guests choose to have lunch at a traditional trattoria, browse Florence's renowned leather shops, or simply wander the medieval streets.
Later in the afternoon, travel about 23 kilometers (14 miles) to Pisa to visit the famous Piazza dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles), a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 and home to some of Italy's most recognizable monuments. Here you will have free time to admire the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, the magnificent Romanesque Cathedral, and the historic Baptistery with plenty of opportunities for photographs, shopping, or an authentic Italian gelato.
At the conclusion of your day, relax on the return drive through Tuscany before arriving back at the Livorno cruise terminal in time for your ship's departure. This private Livorno to Florence and Pisa shore excursion runs approximately 9 hours.
