Where and how will I find the driver at Livorno port?

Your driver will be waiting for you at the gangway of your cruise ship holding a sign with your name written on it.

Where and how will I find the driver in La Spezia port?

Due to security restrictions at La Spezia port, private tours are not able to get close to the ship. So we kindly suggest that you disembark about 20 minutes earlier than your scheduled pick up time and take the free shuttle to the parking lot, where your driver will be waiting for you holding a sign with your name written on it.

What is your back to port policy?

We have a back to port policy of at least 1 hour prior to the last scheduled boarding time for the ship.

We were a party of 4 on the Harmony of the Seas Cruise ship. We wanted to avoid the Cruise company bus and all day hike. We decided the cost for the 4 of us would be the same as taking the cruise line and if up to 4 more joined the cost would be cut in half. Our driver was Claudio. He was fun, informative and knew his way around town, He lives in Florence. The minivan was roomy and it could navigate the city streets, where buses are not allowed. We had reservations at the Uffizi Gallery, which he organized the trip around and everything went fantastic. The best part was our lunch where he took us to a small restaurant where the locals eat, we had to buy our own lunch but it was well worth it.
