    No communication and never showed up.

    We booked and never heard from the tour company. Tried reaching them directly and through Viator, never heard anything back. Very bad experience booking a tour and not getting any information back.

    Shirley_B · June 2026

    Pisa tour

    The tour guide never showed up. We were there 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after the tour start time. And then Viator declined our request for reimbursement. We are still pursuing this. Very disappointed.

    Missed Opportunity

    A response from the company would have helped make a difference. Tried getting tickets to attractions before leaving on vacation. Without knowing which stop and time first, didn't climb tower in Pisa or go through Duomo. Even contacted Viator who attempted to reach them. Otherwise, they were very good at communicating once there.

    Perfect Transportation Option

    Exactly what we were looking for! No stress transportation to Florence and Pisa with guarantee to return to the cruise terminal on time. We even got to learn about the areas we passed on the way to each location. Loved it!

    La Spezia Shore Excursion: Florence and Pisa Your Way: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Spezia.

    How much does La Spezia Shore Excursion: Florence and Pisa Your Way cost?

    +

    Prices start at $131 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Spezia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does La Spezia Shore Excursion: Florence and Pisa Your Way take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Spezia is not rushed.

    Is La Spezia Shore Excursion: Florence and Pisa Your Way worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.1/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Spezia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule La Spezia Shore Excursion: Florence and Pisa Your Way?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is La Spezia Shore Excursion: Florence and Pisa Your Way suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book La Spezia Shore Excursion: Florence and Pisa Your Way?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Spezia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Spezia and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does La Spezia Shore Excursion: Florence and Pisa Your Way start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Spezia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Spezia?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Spezia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include La Spezia: Taste Cinque Terre on a Food Tour by Do Eat Better, Cinque Terre Sunset Boat Tour Experience with Aperitivo and Swim, Cinque Terre Sunset Boat Tour : golden hour on the water. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Spezia?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Spezia?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in La Spezia Shore Excursion: Florence and Pisa Your Way?

    +

    Included: Driver/assistant to Florence and Pisa; and Air conditioned vehicle. Not included: Gratuities; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
