kokopelli-az Posted March 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2018 We will be on the Epic in September and stopping in Livorno. We are considering taking a private tour from the port to Pisa and Lucca. In looking at photos of the port, all I see are tour buses lined up to take people on tours. Where would the meeting place be for people taking a private tour (a tour in an automobile, not a bus). One person is in a wheelchair so I am wondering the logistics of getting there and how far it is to the private tour meeting area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn R Posted March 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Most reputable tour companies have a permit that gives them access to the secure area of the port. They pick you up in the same area as the big tour buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at a youtube video of the port and it looks like the passengers just got off the ship, went through a terminal and on the other side were the tour buses (and automobiles). Thank you.

Rare 4cats4me Posted March 21, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2018 We met our private tourguide immediately outside of the terminal after disembarking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamchops Posted March 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2018 We took an excursion to Lucca and Pisa with TuscanyBus for $28eu. We got on their bus at the ships shuttle drop off and they returned us to the ship after the tour. They also do a Florence and Pisa tour for $30eu. It was reasonably priced and provided free wifi on the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokopelli-az Posted March 28, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted March 28, 2018 If our ship (Epic) docks at 7am (the Livorno cruise port says it arrives at 6am) and we get off the ship as soon as they let us off, is meeting a private tour guide at 8am realistic? The guide is meeting us right outside the terminal door labeled "Exit - Shore Excursions". The Livorno cruise port website also says we dock at berth 46/47. Is this at the new cruise ship terminal?
