La Spezia, Italy Port Reviews

We paid $59 each for a bus ride to the leaning tower of Pisa. We also pre-paid online 27 euros each for entrance to the tower & adjacent buildings. In retrospect, we should have taken the train for 7 euros round trip.

We did not have a pre-planned excursion at this port. As soon as you get off the ship you enter a building where they are signing people up for rides to Pisa and other places. We did this and were very happy with it.

Rained all day, by time we got to Pisa, was limited with time. Could of spent less time in La Spezia.

I did not care for the tour with the IonoBus. The bus only stopped at three locations and we were only allowed to get off at two. The distance between locations was long so it appeared we stayed on the bus longer than we walked and toured. This was the port we docked at the longest but I felt that without a formal excursion, you don't get the full benefit of the time. Not much to do in the city center. We were given incorrect directions by the tour driver once we finished the bus tour trying to find souvenir shops.

Took train to Piza. Train is a bit confusing.

Loved our Leaning tower excursion!

Enjoyed the Pisa and Florence tour. The tour guide was enjoyable and engaging. He made this tour a great experience and showed his love.of this area.

We went to Leaning tower via boat ride. Leaning tower location beautiful - glad we got to see it. Would have liked more time so we could have entered church.

Veeeeeeeery far from Florence or Piza. So there isn't really anything to do in La Spezia without planning an excursion or taking a 2 hour taxi/shuttle.

We took Celebrity's guided tour of Florence: It was well done and while we had done this tour before, the guides provided so much interesting information and history, it was well worth the revisit.
