“It was a far walk to the train station. Our guide Lara was very efficient telling us what platform and what stop to get off at. She took us to a nice restaurant for lunch. A lovely day but exhausting. Lara arranged for a taxi back to the ship.”
Review of the La Spezia shore excursion to Florence and Pisa, including timing, transport, costs, sights, tour pace, and cruise-day advice.
“The tour was actually pretty well organized. Once you get off the ship, you need to take a free shuttle to get to the cruise terminal. And when you get off the shuttle, you'll need to locate the tour guides in green tshirts. There are a few of them with clipboards, and you'll have to check-in with them to get into the right tour group. Now, this tour itself covers a lot of ground, and it's literally a full day, with the most of it on the road. First stop was Florence, the walking tour was about 1 hour, and then free time another 1.5 hrs. And that includes time…”

“It was too fast paced for our convenience. Hardly could stop at a place for few minutes. Not so happy with the tour organisers.

Review this La Spezia shore excursion to Florence and Pisa, with walking demands, travel times, guide quality, value, and cruise-return advice.
“This is anything but deluxe experience. The tour guides (multiple) speaks English we don’t understand, very broken, I don’t even know how they got their licenses. The tour is super fast paced and you don’t enjoy anything when you don’t understand anything. There is barely time for any picture and the guide is a young woman Veronica who feels like she wants to just have the day end and finish the job.”

“Our guide and amount of time given at each location was perfect however the van that was transporting us had a roof that was badly leaking and there was a rain storm. When the wind would blow the roof would leak more and while there were some people who got more or less wet because of it no seat was completely dry.”

“Picked up as scheduled by our guide, Luigi, at the port. Easy pickup and we were on our way to Pisa in a nice, clean, air-conditioned van as a group of 7 with plenty of room. Luigi gave us some great commentary of the things we were seeing and were going to see along the way to our first stop, Pisa. He drove us a little around town and then dropped us off right at the leaning tower. He gave us a few options for how long to spend there and let us wander by ourselves while he stayed with the vehicle. He gave us some tips on where to…”
Review of the Florence hop-on hop-off shore excursion from La Spezia, with pricing, stops, timing, bus tips, value, and cruise advice.
“30-45 minutes wait between busses. Even the staff selling tickets was frustrated. Waiting for the bus for so long greatly decreased the amount of time we had to enjoy the city. Staff seemed disinterested in giving detailed directions. I asked, “Where is the Santa Croce from this stop?” and was met with a non-committal wave towards the front of the bus and no specifics.”

Compare Pisa and Lucca on a private eight-hour outing from La Spezia, with port pickup, flexible sightseeing, and an English-speaking driver.
“This was not a tour. It was a very expensive taxi ride. Only service provided was dropping us off and picking us up in Pisa and Lucca. No information that a tour guide would normally provide. Would not recommend this tour or tour company. Poor reflection on Viator which will make me hesitate to ever book through again with Viator . Basically we were ripped off.”
