Your ship is in Livorno for the day. Rather than queue for a shuttle or gamble on the trains, a private English-speaking driver meets you at the port, shows you the best of Tuscany at your own pace, and has you back on board in good time.
Florence and Pisa, in one easy day
Pisa is about twenty minutes from the cruise terminal, and Florence an hour or so beyond it. With your own car and driver you can take in both without a single timetable: the Leaning Tower in the morning, Renaissance Florence after lunch, and the Tuscan countryside rolling past in between.
Your day, roughly
- Your driver is waiting at the Livorno terminal with a sign showing your name.
- About twenty minutes later, Pisa: the Leaning Tower and Piazza dei Miracoli.
- On to Florence for the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and a wander through the centre.
- Lunch and free time at whatever pace suits you.
- Back to the ship comfortably before the all-aboard call.
What the day includes
- Private English-speaking driver for the whole day
- Comfortable air-conditioned Mercedes, water on board
- Pick-up and drop-off right at the cruise terminal
- One fixed price, agreed in writing before you travel
Room for your group
| Vehicle | Up to |
|---|---|
| Mercedes E-Class | 3 passengers |
| Mercedes V-Class van | 7 passengers |
Whichever you need, the driving is one fixed price, agreed in writing before you travel, so there is nothing on a meter at the end of the day.
Why a private driver on a cruise day
On a cruise day the clock rules everything, and a private driver is the one option that runs on yours rather than a fixed timetable. Your driver keeps an eye on the ship and treats getting you back in good time as the whole point of the day.
Good to know
Will I make it back to the ship in time?
Yes. The day is planned around your all-aboard time, your driver watches it, and getting you back early is the priority.
Where do we meet?
At the Livorno cruise terminal, where your driver is waiting with a sign showing your name.
Can we really see both Florence and Pisa?
Yes. Pisa is close to the port, so most guests stop there first and spend the afternoon in Florence.
What if our ship arrives late?
We track your ship and adjust the plan at no penalty if the arrival time changes.
