Highlights of med cruise on TUI Discovery 10 June 17

Hi, we are doing our first cruise on Discovery on highlights of Med cruise, departing Majorca 10 June 17. The ship calls at Livorno for the day so can anyone advise if you can hire a taxi or driver with private car for the day at the port? We are looking to go to Florence and Pisa for a day excursion so wondering if its possible and cheaper to hire a driver and his car for the day when we get off the ship or whether its better to book a driver and private car in advance? Thomson looking for £82pp for their day excursion so don't know if this is good value or not.

Thanks in advance :cool:

You can get a private taxi, but my recommendation, if it is your first cruise, is go on an organised trip and you be certain that you will not miss the ship as it will go without you if you are late then once you are into cruising you can do your own thing.

You can have lot of nice trips from Livorno, local and distant.

Just remember that if you are delayed e.g. due to roadworks and get back after sailing time the ship will not wait for you if you are on a private excursion - if you are delayed on a ships excursion it will wait.

oiza is only 20 mins away you can go by train they have a red tourist bus in pizza too takes 1 hour to go roun but the tree main attractions are in the square
