5.00Alessandro was as a great tour guide. Had a lovely day seeing the highlights of Florence and Pisa with our family.
No 'Guided' Tour on this tour and no entry to anything possible with time limits..

3.00The bus ride to the locations was nice, with beautiful views of the Italian countryside, and provided some information about Florence and Pisa. However, we parked rather far from the actual cities and had to walk a fair distance to 'arrive'. (Over 1 km in both cases) Visiting toilets was of prime importance to our tour guide, Marty. We paid extra for the 'Walking Tour' of Florence. However, it only consisted of walking us to the Duomo, Palacio del Vechio and Ponte Vechio with no narration whatsoever and 5 minutes to 'look around' before the next journey. I was disappointed as that is NOT a 'Walking Tour' in my opinion. I could have used Google Maps and probably gained more information. The only thing she did was point out some of the more famous Italians in the Uffizi statue garden we passed through and asked if we knew who they were. (Machiavelli, Vespuci, etc.) We did have a nice time in Florence, but not due to the 'tour'. We did not enjoy Pisa as much due to it being overrun with tourists and long lines to get into anything. So, we didn't get into anything. This tour would benefit greatly from telling users approximately WHEN the visitor will be in the locations so they can pre-purchase tickets to get into the sites. This tour doesn't offer entry, which is fine, but you can't buy TIMED entry tickets to sites when you have NO idea what time you will be there. My main priority was getting into Sante Croce Bascilica in Florence, but because I had to wait until that day, already on the bus, to try to purchase tickets, they were already sold out. :( Oh yes, and the WiFi on the bus did not work most of the time. While I had purchased data through Airalo, which worked great all trip, I only upload photos on WiFi, so that was not something that happened during the 3 hours on the bus. To conclude, they did drive us all the way back to the port/cruise ship to get back on and in time! Yay! We all appreciated that as the last bus returning to the ship from the city center of Livorno was at 6pm and we would have arrived around that time. Instead, we got to the ship around 6:05 and didn't have to make a transfer. Personally, I would not do this tour again. I would opt for a tour that gets you INTO the sites you actually want to see. The Italian government makes it easy enough to purchase tickets, but without knowing what time you will be there, it is too difficult to make sure you see what you want on a 'guided' tour. Guided is in quotes because it wasn't.
Great Day!

5.00It was a lovely very hot day. We the guide was informative and helpful. She gave us a number to call in an emergency. We were also driven back in time to bord the ship as promised. We had plenty of time to wonder around and useful tips to avoid getting ripped off. We had the option of a walking tour or could explore on our own. However we didn't know that the walking tour was part of this particular package. Make sure you check as we booked the Accademia Artista museum upon arrival to Florence, instead of after the walking tour. The tickets to that museum are cheap and you can explore on your own. Kids under 18 are €4 each. Family of 4 €20. It was worth it. Pisa was great and if you eat outside the tourist area you will get the food faster and cheaper.
Great trip
