LIVORNO TO FLORENCE & PISA PRIVATE SHORE EXCURSION
An English speaking driver will be waiting for you dockside at the prearranged time that you decide to start your shore excursion in Livorno. Your day will start with visit to the city of Pisa where you'll have time to admire and photograph the famous leaning tower of Pisa. After a brief visit to Pisa you'll make your way to Florence to enjoy a three-hour tour of the must-see sights of the city. In Florence, your driver will drive you right into the historical centre of the city where one of our expert local guides will be waiting to introduce you to the city. As you walk through the streets and piazzas of Florence we'll discuss the ideas of the Renaissance, the lives of many famous artists, the Medici family who showered Florence with countless masterpieces, and how life changed forever during this epic period of the history of Florence. 
Ideal for the first time visitor, this tour includes the exteriors of Palazzo Strozzi, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, Brunelleschi's Dome, Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, and last but not least, the original marble statue of David housed in the Accademia museum of Florence. After enjoying an entertaining and informative walking tour around Florence, you can enjoy free-time to go shopping and to take a relaxing lunch at a restaurant recommended by your guide. At the end of an informative and entertaining day your English speaking driver will return you to Livorno & your cruise ship to complete your Florence & Pisa shore excursion. We guarantee no standing-in-line to enter the Accademia museum as we will pre-book entrance times through which you can get the most out of your time with our guide in the city of Florence. IMPORTANT NOTE: On Mondays the Accademia is closed, so instead of visiting the Michelangelo's David on this Livorno, Florence & Pisa Shore excursion we'll visit the Santa Croce church which is an absolute treasure trove of great works by the Masters of Renaissance, as well as being the final resting place of Michelangelo where you can pay homage to the most famous artist in the world at his tomb inside the Santas Croce church. |
