A group of friends and I wanted to make the most of our port day, and this excursion gave us a good balance of sightseeing and personal time. Florence was definitely the highlight for us, but seeing the Leaning Tower in Pisa was something we didn't want to miss either. The air-conditioned transportation was comfortable after walking around in the heat. We also liked having free time to explore at our own pace instead of being with a group every minute. It worked well for our cruise schedule.
We booked this excursion during our cruise stop and it worked really well for our family. The pickup was straightforward, and having comfortable air-conditioned transportation made a big difference, especially with the amount of walking we did later.

Having customer support available throughout the day was reassuring as well. Overall, it was a well-organized day that gave our family a good taste of both cities without making the experience feel too hectic.
Everything happened exactly as described. Pickup was easy to find, and the journey was comfortable with plenty of room to relax. I enjoyed exploring Florence's streets before heading to Pisa for the famous landmarks. Having free time in both places allowed me to set my own pace instead of following a crowded group. Returning to the port on schedule finished off a very enjoyable day.

A group of four of us booked this excursion while our cruise stopped in port, and it turned out to be one of our favorite days of the trip. Everything started on time with an easy pickup close to the cruise terminal. The bus ride was comfortable and gave us time to relax before arriving in Florence. The schedule worked well because we had enough independent time to explore the city, grab coffee, browse a few local shops, and simply enjoy walking through the old streets. Later we continued to Pisa where we finally got to see the Leaning Tower in person. It was every bit as impressive as expected. Nothing felt overly rushed, and we always knew what time to meet back at the coach. The guaranteed return to the cruise ship gave us peace of mind. We'd happily choose a similar excursion again.
Our family group included grandparents, parents, and teenagers, and finding activities that appeal to everyone can be difficult. Fortunately, this excursion managed to keep all age groups interested. Florence offered a wonderful mix of history, culture, and people-watching. There was enough flexibility that everyone could spend their free time differently while still staying within the group's schedule. Pisa was the perfect finishing touch. Everyone enjoyed seeing the famous tower, and the open square made it easy to move around. It was a comfortable and enjoyable day for the entire family.
