We took a cab directly to the train station, and had bought those tickets online before the cruise. €14 a head I believe, and you can get to Florence ahead of all the excursions. The town was a nightmare that day, there must have been 6 cruise ships. ...
Been to Florence before and that is about 1-2hours away, leaning tower of pisa is only 30mins away and you can do this easily yourself. There is a town too in Livorno; you have to get the shuttle from the boat for which there is a charge. ...
The Pisa tour was amazing. The bus drops you off about 2 miles from the leaning tower. It was an easy and beautiful walk to the tower. Cost was about 15 euros a person. ...
Livorno has a spacious city centre with an interesting outdoor and indoor market, grand square and a very neat layout. We know Pisa Lucca and Firenze very wellso were not interested in the tourist-overcrowded city tours offered ...
