Duration: approx. 4.5 hours

A coach trip begins this tour to Pisa, where you will then meet your guide. Apart from taking you to visit the Piazza dei Miracoli where the Leaning Tower stands, the place from where Galileo Galilei conducted his famous acceleration experiments, the Pisa itinerary also includes an inside viewing of the 13^th-century cathedral and a look around the marble baptistery, a large round Romanesque dome with gorgeous views of the city from the top. Pisa’s conveniently small city centre is full of attractive squares, buildings, stores and restaurants, which you will have time to explore on your own or do some shopping. Your tour comes to a close with your return to the port of La Spezia and your ship

Spend a day away from the ship and join us on an exclusive tour to Portofino. Board a coach and enjoy the ride to Santa Margherita Ligure where you will board a boat to reach your destination. The boat ride will afford you to admire the lovely scenery, a chance to enjoy this lush section of the Italian Riviera. Once in Portofino, your guide will take you on an itinerary that will unveil the beauties of this renowned seaside town: you will reach the Church of San Giorgio, dating to 1154, and the lighthouse. Next you will have plenty of leisure time to explore Portofino at your pace, to take pictures or relax in the chic cafés and restaurants. We will continue by boat to Santa Margherita, where you will board a coach for your return to La Spezi.

A 2.5-hour coach ride from La Spezia will first give you a chance to enjoy the countryside before you arrive in Florence, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and one of Tuscany’s loveliest cities. An informative guide will meet you to take you around the city, which is not just an artistic, cultural and architectural jewel, but also the home base of several top fashion designers. The views at Michelangelo Square of the town and the surrounding Tuscan hills are incredible and well worth a photo, as is the city centre and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. A chance to stretch your legs is next with a walk to Santa Croce Square, known for the eponymous basilica. You will also have time to explore the city at your leisure, go shopping or look for a nice restaurant to have lunch.
