Highly recommended to all cruise passengers!
I took this tour with my family in September 2026 and it was the perfect way to see both Florence and Pisa while our cruise ship was docked in La Spezia for the day. Our guide was Gianni and he was fantastic, he was really friendly and helpful to everyone.
He is really knowledgeable and kept us entertained and informed for the whole journey, his English is excellent!
We had 2.5 hours of free time in Florence which was enough to see the main highlights and then time in Pisa to see the Leaning Tower and take some pictures.
I think it was great value for money for the whole day and if you're looking for a way to see both Florence and Pisa while on your cruise this is the perfect tour!

Brilliant
Nearly cancelled didn't fancy another coach trip but so glad we didn't the guide was brilliant coach was cool and comfortable .Yes it wasn't long enough by a long way but it is what it is you have limited time on a cruise ship not the tour company's fault .Even the staff at the meeting point were lovely which was really easy and straightforward as well .Back to the guide he was friendly and informative prob the best we have ever had he was so professional spoke very clear English and made the journey enjoyable as well as scenic just sorry I forgot his name as he was a nice guy as well.Never had a guide go as far as he did clearly making sure everyone understoof where to go and what best to do .Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company they were in the foyer soon as you got in the terminal selling trips .Some people may think because of this the tour would be a rip off but it wasn't the charge as a walk on was similar I think but you may be taking a risk of it being full .Florence was prob the best place we have ever been will prob return for a longer stay.Hawkers were not that bad even at piza in fact lots of places we have found to be far worse .We were back in plenty of time could have stayed far longer but I suppose the company can't take risks with cruisers all it takes is a bad accident

FABULOUS
Thank you so much, we had not intended doing the tour, but came off the ship and saw Johnny, and sounded much nicer than what we had planned - the train to see Pisa, so happy we did this and had 2 hours in Florence. Johnny went the extra mile, and also thank you to the driver. Very interesting tour.
