About this experience

Live a different experience from the tours with the ship's bus. On board our vehicles with permission to enter the historic centers, you will be accompanied within walking distance of the main and famous tourist attractions, just like a VIP! Our driver will give you a lot of information to better appreciate the places you will visit. The first stop will be Pisa where you will take a short tour of the city with a stop in Piazza dei Miracoli to see with your parents the incredible beauty of the Leaning Tower. Continue to Florence, stopping at Piazzale Michelangelo to admire the view from one of the most suggestive points. Continuing through the historic center of Florence, we will drive through the narrow streets passing in front of the Church of Santa Croce and the San Lorenzo Point of Sale, until arriving in Piazza della Repubblica, where you will have free time to visit the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio and the Shopping Streets. Return to the port of Livorno in time to resume the ship.
