About this experience
An English-speaking driver will meet you at the Livorno dock and transport you to Lucca. The visit includes the Basilica of San Frediano located in Piazza Anfiteatro, where the houses are built on the remains of a Roman amphitheater. The tour also covers Piazza San Michele in Foro, known for its historic merchant palaces. After a lunch break, you will have free time for shopping or walking in Lucca. The itinerary continues to Pisa, where you will have time to explore Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, and the baptistery. If you wish to climb the Leaning Tower, let the driver know in advance to arrange tickets for the 296 steps. The driver will return you to the ship on time.
Itinerary
1
Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower has made Pisa famous all over the world, and in addition to the tower, the city offers many other interesting things to see worth at least an entire day - check out our 1 day in Pisa itinerary to plan your visit. When you first arrive at the beautiful Square of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli), your sight will be captivated by the magnificent Tower. Don’t just admire it from below: the climb up the tower is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we highly encourage you to experience. You will enjoy both the incredible climb as well as the amazing views from the top (you can buy tickets in advance as number of entries are limited every half hour)!

Piazza dei Miracoli
Once you have admired the Tower of Pisa from all angles (including the classic picture in which you pretend to support it to keep as a memento), continue your visit to the other monuments in the Piazza: the Cathedral and the Baptistery. Along the perimeter of the square, there is also the Cemetery, the Cathedral Museum and the Museum of the Synopses. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the Arno river and on your way, pass by Clock Palace to enter into Piazza dei Cavalieri, which was once the heart of power in the city and later the headquarters of the Knights of St. Stephen. In the Palazzo della Carovana overlooking the square, the prestigious Scuola Normale of Pisa has its base.

Lucca
Lucca is one of the cities most loved all of Tuscany, a stop that can not really miss in a classic itinerary to the discovery of the region. The city can be visited in a day, but if you want to appreciate the best stop for a few days or choose it as a base to explore central or north Tuscany. The city is located on a plain at the foot of the Apuan Alps and is less than half an hour from the coast of Versilia. Since it isn't a hilltop village, it is ideal for anyone with mobility issues as well as for anyone wishing to take a break from climbing ;).
