3.From Livorno: Guided Day Trip to Florence and Pisa by Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 49 reviews · from $182

Travel from Livorno to Florence and Pisa by air-conditioned bus on an eight-hour English tour. A licensed Florence guide leads you through the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, and Ponte Vecchio, while you explore Pisa’s Square of Miracles independently. Guides have included Claudia, Jacomo, Elio, and Francesco.

“The drive from the cruise port is about 1 1/2 hours. It’s boring but Florence was incredible. You really need a guide to show you what you are seeing. You’ll have an earpiece to hear the guide showing you the city. Pisa is without a guide. Note: The Leaning Tower of Pisa is free so you really are just paying for a ride. You’ll need a CC if you need the restroom. It’s $1 electronic payment only.”
