Excursion from Livorno to Florence
Livorno to Florence
EXCURSION
When you dock in Livorno, you are less than 60 miles from one of the famous cities in the world, Florence, the cradle of culture and art, full of artistic beauty and charm. You will have the opportunity to see and visit: - Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore and Brunelleschi Dome (463 steps to reach the top);
- Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) and the secret passage that connects Palazzo Vecchio to Pitti Palace;
- Piazza della Signoria, where Palazzo Vecchio is located, as well as the Fountain of Neptune and a copy of the statue of David. Sip a coffee at one of the cafes in the square and enjoy a view of the monuments; - San Lorenzo Market, the oldest and largest market in downtown Florence. You will have the opportunity to taste local foods of exceptional quality.
Because not visiting Florence, a true living museum, would be a real shame, we offer you a comfortable and economical transfer, thus making this visit absolutely delightful and free from unexpected problems.
Once off the ship, you have the option to contact a taxi service that will locate the first available vehicle, leaving you waiting to be picked up, and thus wasting precious time that you could have spent sightseeing. I can assure you that the time spent in Florence is never enough. Alternatively, you could opt for a private driver service that could accommodate your needs and preferences. Our car rental service in fact offers an English-speaking driver, who will be waiting for you at the cruise terminal in Livorno with a fully- equipped Mercedes and will accompany you in your excursion. Upon request, we also provide car seats. During the drive, you will receive a tourist map of Florence to review your itinerary and ask the driver any questions you might have before arriving at your destination, thus saving time once you get there. You will have the phone number for the driver and will be able to call him (also on WhatsApp) for anything you might need and, compatibly with your ship’s departure time, make arrangements directly with him to schedule where and when to be picked up to return to the cruise terminal in Livorno.
Our driver will not only transport you to and from your destination, but will also act as a constant point of reference, who will be happy to explain to you where you are and where you are going both in Italian and English! Think how useful it would be to learn interesting facts on the city and on the customs and lifestyle of its local residents.
We will drive to the historical downtown, reaching the famous Cathedral directly BY CAR.
The SAME driver will take you to and from Florence and you will be able to contact him directly to decide on a meeting place and on a time for your return trip. You will have his cell phone number and will also be able to contact him on WhatsApp, should your mobile phone have connection problems through the local mobile networks: just walk in any coffee shop and connect to their free Wi-Fi.
What about if you decide to go back to the ship ahead of schedule? No problem. Simply call your driver and he will come pick you up!
And what about if you are running late and can’t meet the driver at the agreed meeting place? Just call him and he will pick you up right where you are!
