Florence and Pisa from the port of Marina di Carrara
Description
Live a different experience from the tours with the ship's bus. On board our vehicles with permission to enter the historic centers, you will be accompanied within walking distance of the main and famous tourist attractions, just like a VIP! Our driver will give you a lot of information to better appreciate the places you will visit. The first stop will be Pisa where you will take a short tour of the city with a stop in Piazza dei Miracoli to see with your parents the incredible beauty of the Leaning Tower. Continue to Florence, stopping at Piazzale Michelangelo to admire the view from one of the most suggestive points. Continuing through the historic center of Florence, we will drive through the narrow streets passing in front of the Church of Santa Croce and the San Lorenzo Point of Sale, until arriving in Piazza della Repubblica, where you will have free time to visit the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio and the Shopping Streets. Return to the port of Livorno in time to resume the ship.

Piazzale Michelangelo offers a splendid panoramic view of Florence and the Arno River and is definitely a must for visitors, where you can take some of the best photos of your holiday.
The magnificent Church of Santa Croce, where some important Florentine and Tuscan figures are buried, including Michelangelo and Galileo.
One of the main squares of Florence. Here the driver will drop you off giving you all the information you need to visit the city independently with about three hours to explore all the attractions listed below. The driver will also tell you the time to return to the ship which can be agreed.
A large open-air museum that includes the Cathedral, Brunelleschi's Dome, Giotto's Bell Tower, the Baptistery of San Giovanni. The Duomo with its white and green marble facade catches the eye. We are in the heart of Florence, in front of Santa Maria del Fiore, which everyone calls Duomo.
Piazza della Signoria, for centuries at the center of political life in Florence. Here stands the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, the current seat of the city council and the civic museum. Here, most visitors arrive to admire Michelangelo's Replica of the famous David, a statue of more than 5 meters of pure Carrara marble. To the right of Palazzo Vecchio you can admire the fascinating Loggia dei Lanzi, where some famous statues are placed.
Walk independently on one of the most famous bridges in the world and certainly one of the most beautiful, Ponte Vecchio is one of the most beautiful postcards in Florence.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience during our excursion. I truly appreciate all the help and support you gave to our group
Thank you for your review. I always try to do my best for our customers and reading these words of appreciation is really nice!
A very expensive “Tour” for $1200., which was basically a driver with a very nice van. Good communication on were to meet him & he also brought us water. Pisa was great. But he didn’t want to keep our scheduled stops in Florence, just wanted to drop us off to find our own way around. We had to argue with him to make the itinerary stops. We also asked for recommendations for lunch, but told us many to choose from there. We are all seniors in out late seventies & can not do extensive walking . He did apologize once we were in Florence & took us to a leather market not on itinerary. He was very pleasant, except for our disagreement about keeping the listed schedule.
How rude it is to write how much you paid. As I've already explained to you personally, a private tour with a vehicle and driver at your disposal obviously costs more than the bus excursions with 70 other people you're used to. Furthermore, that is absolutely not the price of our tour. If you booked with an agency or portal that charged you extremely high commissions, I feel sorry for you. The price of the tour is in line with what we offer, especially considering the great distance between Carrara and Florence (almost 2 hours). I accommodated your requests only out of respect for your age, and you got far more than the tour envisioned, such as visiting all the highlights of central Florence by minivan instead of independently, accompanying you even for just 50 meters, such as from Piazza Signoria to Ponte Vecchio, and you didn't even want to get off because you were bored, letting me drive you through pedestrian zones among thousands of people, even risking being fined several times by the local police.
Incredible trip thanks to Simone Franco. Pisa was great then on Florence. Simone showed us all the sights, made us a reservation for lunch at a wonderful restaurant and then let us explore on our own for a perfect amount of time. He speaks English beautifully and gave us a bunch of tips on saying safe. I highly recommend Viator’s Tuscany excursion. Thanks for a great memory!
Thank you for your review. Your kind words fill me with pride! it's truly important to know you appreciated my work! We look forward to seeing you next time you visit our region!
Six of us from the USA had a wonderful time, we packed in as much sightseeing that we possibly could do with the time that we had, driver was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
