• 2Shore Excursion - Leaning Tower of Pisa

  Booked this excursion with Princess cruises while on the Sun Princess. Took an hour to get to Pisa then the coach drops you off then a 15 minute walk to the leaning tower in 33 degree heat were you get 15/20 mins to see everything and everything is an extra charge including the toilet ( €1 and they only take card ) then 15 mins back to the coach and onto a cameo making factory were you send longer then you do at Pisa then 1 hour back to the ship. A better option would be a half day trip to Pisa 2 hours to and from and 2 hours in Pisa to see everything and go into all the buildings and skip the factory visit.

• 5Great choice for a private tour!

  We booked this private excursion during one of our cruise stops in La Spezia. It is easily customizable in a way that gives you time to explore, include a lunch and enjoy the famous spots of Pisa and Florence. Our guide, Marta, was our friend by the end of the trip. Informative along the way, gave great suggestions and tips to avoid “tourist traps”, as she called them. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and made it back to the ship with plenty time.

• 5Book it!

  Francesco was incredible! He had bottled waters available for our rides to Florence and Pisa. He also accommodated our wish list to make sure everything was checked off! He took us to a legit leather factory (Michelangelo) where the staff was amazing, accommodating, and not pushy at all. He worked with our schedule, gave us historical information about Florence, and made sure we were comfortable at all times. He nailed the estimated times we would want to spend at each location and said if we wanted to spend longer, just let him know! He made sure we were back at our ship in time and was so professional! Wish we had booked him for the second day in Florence! I can’t say enough incredible things about this trip.

  Had a fantastic tour with Marta. She picked us up promptly from the cruise terminal and had waters waiting for us in a comfortable van. She gave the perfect amount of context while we were driving and gave us enough time to explore on our own, a great mix of letting us choose where we would like to go and suggestions of places to see. All around a great tour!

  We had a great tour with Marta. She was on time and ready with umbrellas for our rainy arrival. She was very thorough in her explanation of the sights we were seeing during our drives to both Florence and Pisa. She even took us on a more scenic drive through the Tuscan countryside to get us into Florence. She gave us a great blend of free time to explore with a list of places to see, recommended a great restaurant for lunch and even stopped for gelato on our way back, all while getting us back to our ship in plenty of time. We appreciated Marta’s kindness and professionalism throughout our tour.

About La Spezia

La Spezia is a Ligurian port on the Gulf of Poets, with a naval harbour, museums and the main rail gateway to the Cinque Terre villages and Portovenere.

La Spezia lies at the head of a deep gulf on the Ligurian coast, ringed by hills of olive groves and sheltered by a long breakwater. It is an important naval base as well as a commercial port, and a seafront promenade, Passeggiata Morin, runs beside the harbour. The Amedeo Lia Museum holds paintings and medieval works, and the Castello di San Giorgio on a hill above keeps finds from the area.
