Touring from Livorno — Florence, Pisa & Tuscany
Livorno is the cruise gateway to Florence and Pisa — two of the most celebrated cities in Italy. Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, is about 90 minutes east by private vehicle. Your licensed guide walks you through the historic centre to see Michelangelo's David at the Accademia Gallery, the Duomo and Brunelleschi's dome, the Uffizi Gallery, the Ponte Vecchio and the leather workshops of Santa Croce. Pisa is much closer — only about 20 minutes north — and a stop at the Piazza dei Miracoli to see the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral and the Baptistery fits easily into a full-day tour that also includes Florence.
For guests who want to explore beyond the cities, the Tuscan countryside is within easy reach. The medieval towers of San Gimignano, the Chianti wine region with its hilltop estates and tastings, and the walled town of Lucca with its Renaissance-era ramparts are all popular half-day options. Your driver-guide and private vehicle pick you up directly at the cruise terminal and tailor the itinerary to your interests and your ship's schedule.
