Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy Port Reviews

Pisa was great! Lots of walking, bus drops you off about 3/4 - 1 mile away from entrance to see Leaning Tower of Pisa. So there's almost 2 miles of walking through traffic and narrow streets. Poor planning.

No Quite always from Rome well organized

Too short of stay so we just hung out in Livorno. Excursions were expensive

Took ship excursion to Florence. Good mix of guided tour with self-guided time.

Took a side trip to Lucca, again to wander the Old Town, stilled walled in. Another step back in time, with a huge Piazza similar to the one in Siena.

Had a great time on my excursion

We went to Pisa, it would be helpful to get tickets for cathedral, museum or tower for the morning online. There were none available when we got there.

What a wonderful trip and this is the last day. We cruised into port without issue. Myself and a couple of others decided on the "Gourmet Tour- Quarrying Carrara Marble''. This was eye opening based on the cost of white and black marble prices when shipping to the USA. Loverna is not close to anywhere 1 hr from Florence and 1.5 hours from Pisa. This trip was 55-minutes away from the cruise port with nothing to see except for Pisa at 150K distance from the bus. The marble was magnificent. I eat out for dinner on average 3-nights a week. The food was not gourmet . The first course was a plate full of lardo ( I was really???) I didn't eat it. The second course was Lasagna. It was delightful. The 3rd., the course was cornbread with some jelly (compote) you could not pay me to eat on any day. After taking a nap, I ventured to Le Bistro where I had the same staples as the escargot, endive salad and I do not remember the entree' that does not mean it was not good, apologies.

Both Pisa and Florence were awesome.

Beautiful town to explore on yr own, much to see and so. Buy a hop on/off bus pass in port
