2.Livorno Shore Excursion: Florence & Pisa with Accademia and Tower

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 459 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $41

Travel from Livorno to Florence and Pisa by air-conditioned coach, with free Wi-Fi, a map, and an expert tour leader. Explore Florence independently or add a walking tour and Accademia Gallery entry, then visit Pisa’s cathedral and optional Leaning Tower.

“We selected the tour that went to both Pisa and Florence Italy, but we should have just visited Florence. It's a bit like visiting the British Museum in a half hour. You just can't begin to do anything more than get a glimpse of both cities. This tour was in a double-decker bus that might have held 100 people. Be aware that in both cities you park outside the city and walk a significant amount of time to get to the sites you want to see.”

He took us right up close to the Duomo and started us on our day. We met him again after lunch and he took us to the Accademia where he got us right in on time. No waiting in line. It was really wonderful to have such a great experience with a tour. That was our best day and best tour in the week.”
