Livorno Private Shore Excursion of Pisa and Lucca

Summary

Meet a driver at the Port of Livorno for morning departure at a time that fits your ship’s arrival. Board a comfortable minivan for the 30-mile (48-km.) trip to the city of Lucca, whose historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enter Renaissance-era defenses to see tree-lined promenades, gracious squares, and winding, cobblestone streets. If desired, you can add a bike ride through Lucca, so you can cover even more ground at street level (bike rental own expense, 5€/hour). One highlight of Lucca is San Michele in Foro, a church built on the site of the original Roman forum, and you’ll find historic churches, a 1st-century arena, a cathedral with a renowned relic, and Tintoretto’s renowned Last Supper. When you’re ready for lunch, the guide will help find the perfect place to eat, from Tuscan delicatessens to elegant restaurants in cool, underground wine cellars (lunch is own expense). If time allows, visit a vineyard on the outskirts of Lucca on your way to Pisa, a city with roots as a powerful maritime republic. Get your bearings on a driving tour of the city, then take in the UNESCO-listed Piazza del Duomo, home to the Torre di Pisa, or Leaning Tower of Pisa. Enjoy some free time to see the city on foot, then meet back up with the driver for the return trip to Livorno, where this tour concludes.
