Your LivTours Shore Excursion from Livorno Port to Florence eases you into Tuscany when your private driver meets you at your cruise ship port. Enjoy the rolling green hills of Tuscany from the luxury of an air-conditioned luxury car as your chauffeur takes you to the center of Florence where you will be met by your private tour guide.

Upon arrival in Florence, your LivTours expert tour guide will greet you and start the tour by giving you a brief introduction to the city while admiring one of the most beautiful squares in Tuscany, Piazza della Signoria. Chock full of sculptures, including a reproduction of Michelangelo’s David, and Renaissance buildings, it is known as Florence’s outdoor museum. This square represents the political and economic power of numerous centuries of Italian history including the Palazzo Vecchio, which you will step into to admire the spectacular examples of Florentine architecture.

Your tour continues as your guide takes you to discover firsthand the most famous landmarks of Florence, as well as a few hidden gems with interesting stories. One of the most iconic monuments, the Ponte Vecchio. Literally meaning the old bridge, with its unique history and hidden corridor of the aristocrats, is a must-see for any visitor.  Not to be missed is the Cathedral of Florence, known as Il Duomo with its imposing and cleverly designed dome, not to mention the Baptistery with its golden doors, as well as Michelangelo’s burial spot in the Basilica di Santa Croce. Uncovering the many layers of history in a city like Florence is best done in the company of a private expert local guide who will take you “off the beaten track” to hear some great anecdotes and interesting facts, making the city all the more interesting.

Your LivTours guide will happily give you restaurant suggestions for lunch and you will have time to enjoy a typical Tuscan meal (not included in the price) before continuing your exploration of Florence.

One of the luxuries of having a private tour is that you can personalize your time with your guide seeing the monuments that interest you the most. LivTours takes it one step further by giving you the choice of entering one of the two most visited museums in the city! During the booking process, you will be given the choice of visiting the Uffizi Gallery (think Renaissance art, like Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus) or the Galleria dell’Accademia (think Michelangelo’s statue of David).

Whichever museum you choose, your expert guide will be there at your side with engaging stories and history, bringing the art to life. You will enjoy priority access at either museum, skipping the often long lines, and maximizing your time in Florence.  Before leaving the city in your chauffeured car, you will have the chance to say a proper goodbye to Florence from the Piazza Michelangelo you will have a spectacular panoramic view over the city, with the afternoon sun the terracotta rooftops glow a soft burnt orange. Your guide will point out the landmarks you have seen during your walking tour. Take a few minutes for photos of this unforgettable day before climbing aboard your private luxury transportation back to the port!

  • Great day in Florence and Pisa

    When our cruise ship stopped in Livorno, we were met at the port by our driver and taken in a comfortable black Mercedes directly to Florence. Our driver was very professional and personable and had bottles of water for each of us. In Florence we met our tour guide, Raffaela. We all loved Rafaella! She is a lovely person who was raised in Italy and speaks perfect English (with a Boston accent). Rafaella is very professional and extremely knowledgeable in art, history, culture, government, and pretty much everything else. She seems to know all the locals in the city and it was a joy to watch her interact with everyone; her connections also helped us avoid lines and waits in various locations. We toured much of the city walking through narrow alleys and seeing beautiful architecture, multiple public squares (Piazza della Signoria and Piazza della Repubblica), cathedrals (Basilica di Santa Croce, the Duomo, the Baptistery, Orsanmichele), Michelangelo’s David (at the Galleria dell'Accademia), the Ponte Vecchio, and many other memorable sights. In Pisa we visited the Piazza del Duomo where we viewed the Cattedrale di Pisa and Leaning Tower from the outside. Rafaella and our driver dropped us off back at the ship where we all said goodbye. It was a wonderful day and a wonderful tour. Thank you LivItaly and Rafaella!
