Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy Port Reviews

Great Yes

We didn't book quick enough to get our first choice of excursion to Cinque Terra so we booked a trip to the walled city of Lucca, which was lovely but a little sleepy. We were there early so many shops weren't yet open. Should have taken the later excursion but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Wish we had more time to wander on the wall and maybe rent a bike. We did very much enjoy the "Il Poggio" winery they took us to after Lucca though! Very generous pours and wonderful food in a delightful setting! We ordered wine, olive oil and balsamic vinegar before leaving. Our travel companion booked the excursion to Andrea Boccelli's farm and got to meet Boccelli himself! She was absolutely blown away by the whole experience. Highlight of her entire trip.

went to pisa, lucca, volterra and san gimeano

Port was okay. We did an excursion (Pisa and Trolley Ride) which was wonderful. The trolley ride made it easier to get from the bus parking lot to the Pisa Tower compound.

Excursion…Walking tour in Florence and on our own in Pisa. Absolutely beautiful!

We have been here before so we went to a wine/lunch tour on a farm in San Miniato.

Florence is not to be missed, and we were able to visit the Uffizi Museum which has been on my wish list.

Waonderful architectures

Do not do a tour of Florence and Pias, choose one or the other. By the time we got to our second stop, which was Pisa, we could barely see the tower and had purchased tickets to climb the tower, but could not do it with the 40 minutes allowed at the tower. (This was a tour booked through Viator, but we heard similar feedback from other guests who booked through the ship excursions.)

must pay extra to get out off ship to port and very limited time to explore city
