Full Description

Lucca: A Walk Through Time
Lucca, often called "The City of 100 Churches," is a medieval gem defined by its well-preserved ancient city walls, which still encircle most of the historic old town. Stroll through its cobbled streets, where history and modern life coexist in perfect harmony. Don’t miss the chance to walk along the city walls, offering a serene view of the town and the surrounding countryside. You’ll also find Antique Dealers Street, a haven for unique treasures and vintage finds. Lucca’s charm lies in its blend of timeless beauty and local culture, giving you a taste of Tuscan life throughout the centuries.

Florence: The Cradle of the Renaissance
In Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, you’ll find a treasure trove of art, architecture, and history. The entire town center is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and as you wander through its ancient streets, you’ll be surrounded by the city’s rich cultural heritage. Marvel at iconic landmarks like the Duomo, the Piazza della Signoria, and the Ponte Vecchio, and explore the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery. Florence is also famous for its handmade leather goods and delicious local delicacies, making it the perfect destination for those who want to indulge in both history and modern pleasures.

Please note: If you plan to visit the Accademia, we strongly suggest you purchase skip-the-line tickets in advance here for an entrance time between 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

FAQ

What should I wear if I want to visit some religious sites?

If you intend to visit religious sites, please have knees and shoulders covered (both men and women).

Is this tour accessible for people with limited walking abilities?

The itinerary can certainly be customised according to your needs, but please note that some areas may not be accessible with a stroller/wheelchair or for people with limited walking abilities.

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.

What type of vehicle will be used for our tour?

We provide services in luxury Mercedes and Volkswagen sedans, minivans or minibuses (depending on availability). For parties of 1-3 guests we normally use a sedan. For parties of 4-8 guests we use minivans. And for parties larger than 8 guests we either use multiple minivans or a minibus (depending upon availability).

What type of vehicle will be provided for large groups?

For groups above 7 passengers, vehicles may vary based on location and availability:

- From Naples, Sorrento, Amalfi, Salerno, Taormina, Catania or Messina: Mercedes Sprinter minibus or multiple luxury minivan

- From Civitavecchia, Livorno or La Spezia: multiple minivan

What is the difference between a tour guide and a driver-guide?

A tour driver and a tour guide are not the same. When booking a private tour, it is important to understand the difference so you know exactly what you are paying for. A tour guide holds an official license, usually issued by the state or country, and has completed formal studies in the history and culture of the sites you will visit. Guides are permitted to enter historical sites with you and provide detailed explanations. Their services are naturally an additional cost. A tour driver, on the other hand, is not licensed as a guide, has not attended guide school, and is not permitted to enter sites to provide historical commentary. Their services are therefore more economical. Many drivers are very knowledgeable about local history and culture, but they are legally required to provide explanations only while inside the vehicle. Once you are dropped off, they cannot offer historical explanations, as doing so may result in fines issued by the authorities.

Do you offer a discount for booking multiple cruise port tours with your company?

Yes, we do offer a discount when booking multiple private full day Cruise Port tours from different ports, booked under the same name and cruise ship itinerary with the same departure date. The discount is automatically applied at checkout when booking two or more cruise port tours from different ports with our company. The discount is as follows: 30€ off each tour when booking 2 tours from different cruise ports, 40€ off each tour when booking 3 tours from different cruise port tours, 50€ off each tour when booking 4 tours from different cruise port tours. The multi-tour discount is not combinable with any other discounts or offers.
