Giada’s highlights and navigational help were spot on with the map that was provided. The bus was roomy, air conditioned, and the seats recline a bit for more comfort. We had two families, total of 8 people traveling to Florence and this was the most efficient way to get there and back to the ship on time. Easy getting back to meeting point, Giada gave clear instructions on where and when to meet for our return back to port. Bring water, they do provide a bottle for 1 euro as well.

We were in Florence by noon, left at 5:15, and arrived at the cruise port by 7:15. Make sure you communicate clearly to the people if you want to go only to Florence or to both Florence and Pisa so you get your paid time in your desired city / cities. Our guide #1 Federico and #2 Francesco were adorable. The small maps they provided were truly extremely helpful! They were extremely clear on where and when to meet the bus at the end of these even provided a QR code to take you there if you forgot. My only criticism for improvement is they should organize the morning lineup better into distinct groups and clarify / label exactly which bus to get on (perhaps with colored stickers?) because there were a lot of people and business happening in the morning. Everything went quite smoothly after the morning.

Decent transfer but on the website it doesn’t mention anywhere how long the transfer is. 2 hours each way (4 hours total bus time). I booked an Accademia tour with the same company which we missed due to the time of the transfer. I asked for a refund but was told “there is no reason to issue a refund”. Poor overall service.

The worst day trip we ever experienced. I booked a ticket for 6 couples, arrived at the meeting place in La Spezia on time and met the guy with a green shirt as expected. Our booking was confirmed and was given green sticker but no ticket given to us though. We waited for almost 30 mins for the bus and we were first on line to board the bus but we were refused boarding because we were asked to provide tickets which we were not given on the first place. After much complaining-and showing our vouchers, we were the last ones to finally board the bus at the very end of the bus squeezed between very large individuals. Our group were seated separately and very uncomfortably for 2 hours to Florence. Due to limited amount of time given to us, we were not able to even eat lunch at Florence. I will never ever ride a bus tour again. This is such a horrible experience for us!!!

Great value for money full day. Busy day so group need to be prompt!! Well organised and great guide plenty of knowledge Our trip was actually changed last minute due to numbers we were not planning on Pisa but glad we were offered the change as our day in Florence would have been too long on original booking. 3.5 hrs is enough to enjoy Florence and then have benefit to revisit Pisa 1.5 hrs. Our day was 10 hours and was left than 50 euros
The only improvement I’d suggest to the excursions is the drop off point for Florence. It’s too far out of the town and no toilet facilities on the coach or at drop off and need walk 15 minutes minimum for toilet . After a 2+hr journey from a cruise port this was a challenge for a number of visitors ages and abilities. If smaller groups and minibuses instead of big coaches could get closer to the town it would be more comfortable. However once on arrival. Florence is a beautiful town full of history. Food and restaurants so laid back expect service to be slow and relaxed. A little pricey so shop around. Tipping is expected and standard. (Be aware of beggars and pestering to give you free bracelets. They will follow you!)
Pisa has a great market and lovely places for food and Drink and plenty of ice cream options. Beautiful to visit and revisit. Doesn’t disappoint.
