What you'll see and do
Pisa
Pisa is a city and comune in Tuscany, central Italy, straddling the Arno just before it empties into the Ligurian Sea. It is the capital city of the Province of Pisa. Although Pisa is known worldwide for its leaning tower (the bell tower of the city's cathedral), the city of over 91,104 residents (around 200,000 with the metropolitan area) contains more than 20 other historic churches, several medieval palaces, and various bridges across the Arno. Much of the city's architecture was financed from its history as one of the Italian maritime republics.

Leaning Tower of Pisa
Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italian Torre Pendente di Pisa, medieval structure in Pisa, Italy, that is famous for the settling of its foundations, which caused it to lean 5.5 degrees (about 15 feet [4.5 metres]) from the perpendicular in the late 20th century. Extensive work was subsequently done to straighten the tower, and its lean was ultimately reduced to less than 4.0 degrees.

San Gimignano
San Gimignano, a small walled village about halfway between Florence and Siena, is famous for its fascinating medieval architecture and towers that rise above of all the other buildings offering an impressive view of the city from the surrounding valley. At the height of its glory, San Gimignano's patrician families had built around 72 tower-houses as symbols of their wealth and power. Although only 14 have survived, San Gimignano still retains its feudal atmosphere and appearance.

Rome in Limo cruise port to Tuscany
We had multiple groups participate in this excursion while on a Viking ocean cruise and we all returned back to the ship commenting that this was the highlight of our cruise. Laura was our guide and was fantastic. She truly listened to what we wanted to accomplish during the day and without hesitation, got on it, made phone calls to create a lunch experience that exceeded expectations. The entire day was brilliant.

Such a wonderful day, the driver listened to our group and customized our tour around what we wanted to do.
A beautiful sky and plenty of time to soak in the beautiful Tuscan sun as we explored the city and tasted the local wines. This is the 2nd time I have used Romeinlimo and hopefully it won’t be my last.

Rome in Limo! The best!!!
I highly recommend Rome In Limo!!! From my first contact with Jany, she was SUPER helpful! She always responded in a very timely manner to my numerous questions! So helpful and polite and professional! It was so great to have our drivers pick us up at the cruise ports in their clean and comfortable vans! It was wonderful to have just our family in the tour! And we always made it back to the ship in plenty of time at the end of the day! On May 22, 2023, We did the Pisa and Lucca Tour! Vinny was our driver! He had cold water bottles for us in our van! He was so friendly and very knowledgeable about the area! We really enjoyed our day and it was wonderful to not worry about traffic or directions. All in All, I can't say enough good things about Rome in Limo! I would absolutely use them again in the future!

Possibly the best shore excursion on our trip!
This tour was customized a bit by the other members on cruise critic, and we joined up and are so glad we did. Us and two other couples spent the morning in Florence, seeing the main highlights. Then we went for a wine tasting in the Tuscan countryside, and then we spent some time in San Gimignano before heading back to the ship. It made such an impression, we are already talking about going back to Tuscany for a week or two to see and do more. Our driver did an excellent job of keeping us on schedule so we could see everything we wanted to see. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and managed somehow to fit everything in to our day despite large driving distances. The wine tasting which included lunch was an absolute highlight. It was a small extra fee but very much worth it. Also, we can’t imagine missing San Gimignano, which was absolutely lovely, to go to somewhere like Pisa like most of the bigger cruise ship tours do. All in all, we probably spent similar or just slightly more money than if we’d booked direct through the ship. Our experience was 1000 times better, I have no doubt. Would book again with this company in a heartbeat.

Another AMAZING day with Rome in Limo!
Just like 4 years ago, they do not disappoint! This trip, we had 12 of us (celebrating high school and college graduations)l, so we needed two vans but we stayed together, and so it felt like we were always in one! Laura as our guide in Van 1 was amazing. Her knowledge is incredible, and her spirit and personality made our day so very enjoyable. The guys rode with Francesco, and he was equally amazing! I can't stress enough how great this company is. We have used them several times, and will continue to use them on our trips back.

Private Shore Excursion from Livorno Port: Tuscany Highlights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pisa.
How much does Private Shore Excursion from Livorno Port: Tuscany Highlights cost?
+
Prices start at $496 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pisa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Shore Excursion from Livorno Port: Tuscany Highlights 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 Pisa is not rushed.
Is Private Shore Excursion from Livorno Port: Tuscany Highlights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pisa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Shore Excursion from Livorno Port: Tuscany Highlights?
+
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 Private Shore Excursion from Livorno Port: Tuscany Highlights 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 Private Shore Excursion from Livorno Port: Tuscany Highlights?
+
Around 2 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 Pisa 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 Pisa and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Shore Excursion from Livorno Port: Tuscany Highlights 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 Pisa 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 Pisa?
+
On Outty we rank every Pisa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pisa’s Ultimate Food Tour: Full Tuscan Meal by Do Eat Better, Pisa: Beyond the Tower (1h round-trip tour), Pisa: Self-Guided Bike Tour to the Sea. 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 Pisa?
+
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 Pisa?
+
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.
