La Spezia, Italy Port Reviews

Went on an excursion to Florence and Pisa. Spent probably over 4 hours round trip as it was Highlights of Florence & Pisa. We felt it was too much time on the bus and we didn’t really get to see much of Florence. Our time in Pisa was sufficient as there wasn’t much to see other than the Leaning Tower and a few cathedrals. Again, wish we had more time in Florence.

Love it Yes we join the tour to Portofino, Santa Margherita…..

Self guided walking tour.

Had time to visit a couple of villages by train and enjoyed the views.

Very long drive into to Florence, spent 4 plus hours driving there and back, a lot of walking. Tour inly was the academia museum did not include tickets to see any other sites

Loved our Leaning tower excursion!

Not a port where you can walk into town! My tour was Cinque Terre by Train and Limoncino. That was a great tour….all day tour.

Another amazing architectural city. Great historical tour. Pisa and Florence such great places to see but the rain got us here.

The train in the Cinque Terre was not what it was cracked up to be at all! The “short walk” to the train station was 45 minutes at a swift pace. The train (despite how it is depicted in the marketing piece) is entirely in a tunnel, so you do not see the views at all. The villages are charming, but our tour was cut VERY SHORT because so many people wanted to depart the excursion due to the level of physical difficulty and the tour guide had to take time with each of them to instruct them how to get back and to exit them from the tour. We were left with very little time to explore, which was VERY DISAPPOINTING! The tour guide herself was LOVELY and worked very hard to keep everyone happy. The group was VERY LARGE and difficult subsequently for her to manage.

We took a tour from the ship featuring Pisa and Florence. Perfect amount of time in each as Pisa has one main attraction (leaning tower) and much more in Florence . Due to the distance from the port, a delicious pasta lunch in Florence was included.
