Livorno Shore Excursions — Private Tours

If your ship calls at Livorno, you have one day to see the best of Tuscany. I meet you right at the pier, drive you straight to Florence, Pisa or the countryside, and bring you back to the ship with time to spare. One person for the whole day — a licensed guide and a private Mercedes driver — never a coach, never a shared group, and your return to the ship is always guaranteed.

The day, hour by hour

We plan the day around your ship’s schedule, not the other way round. A typical Florence-and-Pisa day from Livorno looks like this:

On disembarkation: I’m waiting at the pier with your name. We leave straight away.
Late morning: Florence — the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria. As a licensed guide I take you inside the churches and squares and explain them.
Lunch: your choice; I’ll suggest an honest trattoria, never a commission stop.
Afternoon: Pisa on the way back — the Leaning Tower and Piazza dei Miracoli.
Back at the pier: well before the gangway closes. You decide the return time.

Prefer only Florence, at a slower pace? Or Pisa plus a Chianti wine tasting? We build the day together.

Why book with me

*A guide and* a driver, licensed for both.** No competitor at this port offers both licences. It means one price, one person, and access inside the historic centres instead of waiting at the door.
Private and small. Never more than eight guests, in a new-generation Mercedes minivan with air conditioning and Wi-Fi. You never share the van.
No forced shopping. I never route the day through a “recommended” shop.
Back on time, guaranteed. I track your ship all day and keep a safety margin.

Questions cruise guests ask

What if my ship is delayed arriving? I track it and we simply start when you step off; the plan flexes and the safety margin stays.

Do I get back in time? Yes. Return before departure is always guaranteed — see the FAQ for how I manage it.

Where do we meet? At the pier where your ship docks; I confirm the exact point when we book.
