In ancient times it represented the center of civil power, while from the second half of the sixteenth century it became the headquarters of the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano, commissioned by Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici.

Wonderful day in Capri and Lucca!
Thank you Mateo for being our wonderful driver through the beautiful Tuscan countryside! Mateo was punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable about the area. We really enjoyed our time in Pisa and Lucca and can't wait to go back one day!

Rip off
This was not a tour. It was a very expensive taxi ride. Only service provided was dropping us off and picking us up in Pisa and Lucca. No information that a tour guide would normally provide. Would not recommend this tour or tour company. Poor reflection on Viator which will make me hesitate to ever book through again with Viator . Basically we were ripped off.
Response from the operator: You were not scammed, you were a victim of your own ignorance. Your words are very offensive to our work and do not reflect the experiences of other travelers. It would have been enough to read the tour description instead of booking without having any idea of where you were. What we have offered you is what hundreds of customers have always appreciated over the years. The driver showed you Pisa and took you to Lucca, providing you with maps and all the information you need to visit the city on your own. If you were expecting a history lesson, you should have paid for a private guide. We wish you a happier life. Caterina

On time, great communicator, safe driver!
Matteo was on time to meet us at the cruise ship port for our tour to Pisa and Lucca. He was a friendly and safe driver, The van was clean and comfortable, and we had a great day!

Outstanding driver !!!
Simone was our full day driver from the La Spezia port to Pisa, then on to Lucca - then back to the Port. I don’t often leave review - but we had an exceptional experience and I was compelled to leave a review. Our experience with Simone was wonderful. He was such a great guy, a safe and professional driver with an immaculately clean van - stocked with complimentary beverages. We had an unplanned quick stop and he was very accommodating. As an English only speaker, Simone’s command of the English language was excellent. 100% recommend his services. Derek/Debbie May 2024

Hidden Gem- Lucca
Our driver Simon was professional and personal the entire time. He is a local of both cities and was able to explain fun and enjoyable things to see and do. It was great being able to see Pisa, as the lines got longer as we were leaving. Lucca is hardley given any recognition of it endless amounts of restaurants, shop and churches. We were overwhelmingly surprised by Lucca and we are hoping to return for another trip for more days. Thank you Simon for an excellent adventure!

Pisa and Lucca from the Cruise Port of La Spezia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Spezia.
How much does Pisa and Lucca from the Cruise Port of La Spezia cost?
+
Prices start at $970 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 Pisa and Lucca from the Cruise Port of La Spezia take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Pisa and Lucca from the Cruise Port of La Spezia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 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 Pisa and Lucca from the Cruise Port of La Spezia?
+
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 Pisa and Lucca from the Cruise Port of La Spezia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pisa and Lucca from the Cruise Port of La Spezia?
+
Around 3 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pisa and Lucca from the Cruise Port of La Spezia 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, Portovenere & Three Islands Small Group Boat Tour from La Spezia, Sunset Boat Tour to Cinque Terre with aperitif on board. 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.
