sparklymermaid Posted May 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Can anyone give advice on this port of call. I was looking at a company called Shorebee and they have a tour for 80eu per person if there are eight people in a bus. They drive to Florence, stop at Michelangelo Square and you can either do your own thing or get a guide and then on the way back they stop at Pisa and then back to the cruise ship. It is a duration of 9 hours. Any advice would be great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Johannes Posted May 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Try RomeInLimo. Their tours are about the same size and duration. We used them 3 years ago and will use them again in September. Check your roll call and see if anyone has already set up a tour or try the website for RomeInlimo and see if a tour for the date you will be in port has availability.

ekdskier Posted May 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2015 What ever arrangement you make, make sure you go to PISA first thing in the morning, before the motor coaches arrive. It can get quite crowded in the square with multiple 60 passenger coaches there at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a great day. 10 people if I remember in the van. Really nice driver and helpful. Was cheaper than your price as well. Kezz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobal Posted May 10, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) If you're docking in La Spezia, unless you have your heart set on Pisa/Florence you should consider visiting Cinque Terre - much closer and easier to do from Cinque Terre and really stunning scenery. Even with a 9 hour excursion you will spend a lot of that driving there and back if you visit Florence. Edited May 10, 2015 by Bobal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarponJan Posted May 10, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I also agree with bobal. I would not spend much of my day on a. Bus to go to Florence. Instead go to the train station in La Spezia and take the train to the Cinque Terre villages. Each is unique and lovely. Each trip between villages is just a few minutes. Wander around and have a fabulous seafood lunch overlooking the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
