Livorno Shore Excursion: Florence & Pisa Private Guided Tour
Climb the Tower of Pisa, see Michelangelo's David & the Uffizi Gallery, and get round-trip transport
If you're docking in Livorno with only a day to spend, you'll want to book this tour. Your tour begins right from your ship with private transport to Pisa. Use timed-entry tickets to climb straight to the top of the Leaning Tower, with the Cathedral and Baptistery below. Then travel to Florence in comfort, to enter the Accademia, where Michelangelo's David stands 17ft tall, and the Uffizi Gallery for Renaissance art. No other shore excursion from Livorno makes this much possible in just one day.

Itinerary
Your tour begins at Livorno Cruise Port
Your private driver is waiting for you right below the ship, sign in hand. Hop into your premium vehicle and get comfortable as you enjoy air-conditioned luxury transport to your first stop.
Head to Pisa through the Tuscan countryside
Depart Livorno and arrive into the Tuscan countryside for the roughly 30-minute drive to Pisa, where rolling hills and coastal views make for a relaxed and scenic start.
Explore the Square of Miracles in Pisa
Pull into Pisa and step out into the Piazza dei Miracoli, a medieval square so perfectly preserved it still feels unreal. The marble Cathedral, Baptistery, and Camposanto set the stage for what comes next.
Climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa
Use pre-reserved tickets and head straight up the 294 spiral marble steps to the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The lean is even more dramatic than you'd expect, and the views over the Piazza and Tuscan rooftops are worth every step.
Drive through Tuscany toward Florence
After your climb, hop back in your private vehicle to head to your next stop. The drive from Pisa to Florence takes around an hour through the heart of Tuscany, and the views from the window do not disappoint.
Discover Florence's historic center
Meet your private guide in the city center, then follow them through the heart of Florence, from the Duomo's famous terracotta dome to the sweeping Piazza della Signoria. This is where the Renaissance played out, and your guide makes it feel alive.
Visit the Accademia Gallery
Use timed-entry tickets to see Michelangelo's David, a 17-foot marble statue that has stunned visitors since 1504. Up close, it's even more impressive than any photo can prepare you for.
Step inside the Uffizi Gallery
Next up, the Uffizi, one of the greatest art museums in the world, and you're walking in with tickets in hand. Your guide unpacks the history behind Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Primavera, so you understand why they matter.
Take a lunch break in Florence
Take a well-earned break and grab lunch in one of the best food cities in Italy. Your guide knows exactly where to point you to get a quick local bite in the city center.
Cross the Ponte Vecchio
Before heading back, take a stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, Florence's medieval bridge lined with goldsmiths' shops that have been here since the 16th century. It's the kind of place you'll want to slow down and soak in.
Your tour ends at Livorno Cruise Port
Say goodbye to your guide, and return to your private vehicle one final time to journey to the port. Your private driver has you back at the ship right on time after the roughly 1.5-hour drive from Florence.

This was a wonderful tour. A bit rushed and would like to have had a little more time for shopping, however, not the fault of the tour guides. This is a jam packed tour with a lot of information provided and you get to see so much. The tour guide that took us to Pisa was wonderful, lots of energy and did a great job driving us around. Our guide in Florence was just as great and provides tons on info of the museums and surrounding areas. I believe they need to limit this tour to include either the Academia or the Uffizi but not both. Just not enough time especially will the crowds. It was a great tour and I highly recommend.

What a wonderful Florence & Pisa tour! We could not be more pleased. Our driver, Nicoletta, and our tour guide, Marco(?), were both excellent. Marco’s love of the Michelangelo and Medici history was infectious. We thoroughly enjoyed his insights. It was money well spent.
