Swap Livorno's cruise port for the sights of Florence and Pisa on this full-day shore excursion. Take in the quintessential Tuscan countryside as you travel to these two must-sees cities in the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle. With an expert guide, see Florence's showstopper attractions including the world-famous Duomo and the iconic Ponte Vecchio. Then, make for Pisa. Get up close to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the other A-list landmarks at the Field of Dreams before returning to Livorno in time for your cruise ship departure.
Meet your expert guide at Livorno's port, then board your air-conditioned transfer vehicle and relax on the scenic journey to Florence. As you travel, gaze out of the window and take in views of the idyllic Italian countryside.
After approximately two hours, arrive in Tuscany's beautiful capital. From the comfort of your seat, admire the magnificent Renaissance architecture as you weave through the quaint cobblestone streets.
Make your first stop at Piazza del Duomo. Be overcome with awe as you take in the glory of the world-famous Duomo of Florence Cathedral (Cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiori). Marvel at the intricacy of the pink, white and green marble that blankets the exterior. Then, turn your attention to the cupola, which dominates Florence's iconic skyline. Hear how the showstopper, designed by 13th-century architect Arnolfo di Cambio, took 170 years to complete.
Next, hop back inside your vehicle and head for Piazza della Signoria. Pause for photos by the replica of Michelangelo's famous David. Then, wander through the Loggia dei Lanzi, the open-air gallery that contains a collection of beautiful sculptures.
Continue to Ponte Vecchio, an ancient bridge that is as much a symbol of Florence as the Duomo's striking red cupola. Finally, stop in Square of Santa Croce (Holy Cross) to see the Basilica of Santa Croce, which was also designed by Cambio.
After a break for lunch (own expense), return to your vehicle to begin your 1.5-hour journey to Pisa. Arrive at the Field of Dreams (Piazza dei Miracoli), a verdant expanse that is home to the city's three most important sights: the Baptistery, the Duomo and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Here, enjoy around an hour of free time to get up close to these incredible landmarks and perfect your Leaning Tower poses.
When the time comes, return to your vehicle and relax on the return journey to Livorno port.
