Piazza dei Cavalieri
Piazza dei Cavalieri in Pisa is, after Piazza del Duomo, the most famous square in the city. 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. Today it is a pole of cultural attraction and study due to the presence of the headquarters of the Scuola Normale Superiore.

Pisa And Cinque Terre
Our driver Mateo did a wonderful job. He showed us where to go in Pisa. Drove us to Porto venere, Monarola and Riomaggiore. His car was clean and cool on a very hot day. He guided us where to go, sights to see and was easy to get a hold of when we were ready to be picked up!

Buyer Beware, this tour is for transportation only, not a tour with a guide.
*** This is only transportation from the cruise port to Pisa & Cinque Terre, not a tour with a guide.*** The listing is very misleading, buyer beware. Our driver spoke very little English and didn't provide much information. We were picked up at the cruise port and taken to Pisa. We had time in Pisa to walk around and take photos. Then we were driven to the first village in Cinque Terre where we were told to exit the van and speak to the lady at the train station about buying train tickets to get to the other villages. When we asked why we were buying train tickets the driver couldn't explain anything to us due to the language barrier. The driver then left and told us to meet him back at the train station at a specific time, which was much later that day. The way the listing was made, we were under the impression that the driver was taking us via the van from one village to another. We had no idea that we need to buy train tickets and take a train from village to village. So basically all we purchased for over $1000 USD was transportation from the cruise port to Pisa & Cinque Terre, and back to the ship. Then in addition we each had to buy all day train tickets for $27 euro per person. When I reached out to the owner via text he provided me with a different listing that stated something totally different than what the Viator listing stated. He was very sparky and rude, and basically told us $1000 for the transportation was a steal. So overall, I would NOT recommend this tour unless you just need a ride. However, hearing from other people on our cruise there are other tours that are much better.
Response from the operator: Fortunately, years of sacrifice and commitment are often rewarded by the kind words our customers give us. Travelers who choose our tours don't have to worry about anything, as you suggested; they simply need to read the product they're purchasing. You clearly haven't done this, but you allow yourself to denigrate our work with this disrespectful review, giving it a single star, as if the driver had left you stranded on the highway. The description and information clearly state that the tour guide and train or boat tickets are not included. If you can't understand what you're reading, I strongly suggest taking a reading and comprehension course so you can book the excursions that best suit you in the future. Regarding pricing, private excursions with a driver and minivan at your disposal COST, and aren't affordable for everyone,and again, the price is clearly stated. If you thought that was excessive, you could always go by bus with 70 other people.

Cinque terre and Pisa
This tour is just basically a driver that takes you to Cinque Terre and Pisa and drops you off and then returns to pick you up. Not sure it was worth the price we paid, I will say that Cinque Terre is simply beautiful. Be ready to navigate the train there, was a little confusing. Pisa was great too, wish we could have spent a little more time there. Overall it was a good trip
Response from the operator: Grazie per la tua recensione ci fa piacere sapere che ti sia piaciuta la visita di Pisa e delle 5 Terre! Ovviamente, essendo un tour privato, la comodità di avere un veicolo solo per il proprio gruppo ed un’autista a disposizione per l’intera giornata, ha un prezzo più elevato di altre esperienze, a maggior ragione se le distanze da percorrere sono notevoli come in questo caso.

Pisa and the Cinque Terre from the Livorno Cruise Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Livorno.
How much does Pisa and the Cinque Terre from the Livorno Cruise Port cost?
+
Prices start at $1,039 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Livorno 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 the Cinque Terre from the Livorno Cruise Port 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 Livorno is not rushed.
Is Pisa and the Cinque Terre from the Livorno Cruise Port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 52 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Livorno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pisa and the Cinque Terre from the Livorno Cruise Port?
+
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 the Cinque Terre from the Livorno Cruise Port 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 Pisa and the Cinque Terre from the Livorno Cruise Port?
+
Around 18 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 Livorno 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 Livorno and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pisa and the Cinque Terre from the Livorno Cruise Port 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 Livorno 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 Livorno?
+
On Outty we rank every Livorno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full day Shore Excursion to Florence from Livorno with tasting, Full day shore excursion to Florence and Pisa from Livorno with tasting, Bolgheri: Classic Wine Tasting with Winery Tour. 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 Livorno?
+
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 Livorno?
+
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.
