5.00Our tour guide, Arianna Neri, provided us with an outstanding experience in Livorno. There were only three of us in the group, which meant the opportunity to ask lots of questions. We started the tour with a type of morning pastry, similar to a donut. It was outstanding. Next we saw some of the city highlights-the canals, a beautiful church, a fort, and an outdoor market on the way to the second largest indoor market in Europe. Here we sampled cheeses, cold cuts, breads and wine. Next we sampled a Livorno speciality called a 5 in 5, a sandwich with a fried chickpea insert along with eggplant. It was delicious! Then back to the market for a sampler of fresh fish and more wine. This tour far exceeded expectations. What made it truly special was Arianna, who was very kind, friendly, open, and professional with a lovely sense of humor. The time passed quickly. I highly recommend!
Excellent tour

5.00We did this tour on the second day while on a cruise docked in Livorno overnight. Arianna was our very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide around the canal area of the city. She gave us much of the history of the city and the particular area that we toured. All very informative and at a relaxing pace. We made several stops at very local establishments to get a true taste of Livorno. First, we had a local pastry at a bakery along the way. We then made our way to Gagarin for a local treat of a Chickpea pie and a local beverage. Then on to the daily street market and the historical Central Market building for a sampling of tasty Italian meats, cheeses, breads, and red wine, all from the same shop. Next was a seafood platter comprised of anchovies, shrimp, octopus, & various examples of fish, all dressed with olive oil, lemon, red pepper flakes, etc. & another glass of wine. The friendly owner came out and chatted with us and shared some of the additional products he offered such as olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and pistachio paste. It was an amazing 3+ hours experiencing Livorno with a local guide who provided us with a memorable travel experience. Thank you, Arianna! We highly recommend this tour and tour guide! P.S. We had a restroom break!
