Florence (Livorno) Cruise Reviews

Florence was absolutely stunning. Again - if you want to see Accademia Gallery (Statue of David) or Uffizi Gallery - buy tickets ahead of time. We booked Tuscany bus (Tuscanybus.com) Outstanding value at 39 Euros each for Florence and Pisa ...

The shuttle (run by Port of Livorno) ran very infrequently and it took us one hour to get from the car rental parking just outside the port grounds back to the ship. ...

Hired private tour and found 3 other couples on cruise critic to share the cost. We went to Cinque Terre and had a wonderful time ...

Good. ...

Great little town to explore ...

Livorno is a convenient port for visiting Florence, Pisa and Lucca ...

We traveled to Florence & Pisa by train. ...

Interesting city to visit ...

If you're going up the tower or into the other buildings, see if you can buy the tickets online before you get there. Pisa is less crowded in the morning than the afternoon. Boarding the trolley car was a bit chaotic. Lots of pushing and shoving and young families were unable to sit together because people wouldn't move to accommodate them. This part of the trip needs more organisation. ...

Took shuttle to train station, 20 minute non stop to Pisa, and back again. Half day max. ...
