The shore excursion covered our transportation to and from the boat to Florence and Pisa. We had around 3.5 hours in Florence to see the sights, and about 1 hour (max) in Pisa. We did not have any issues and we saw what we wanted to see, though to really see Florence, you need days, not hours. The wifi on the bus did not work. It was either non-existent or it was not turned on. When asked, the tour guide said it is spotty. We paid for the 1 hour add on tour of Florence, but the tour guide (although nice) is not an official guide, so all he could do is walk us to each location and take pictures of us if we asked. He could not describe or explain any of the sights. I would not pay for that next time. Otherwise, everything went as expected.

Do you want to see Florence and Pisa? Take the bus! We booked the tuscanybus tour on getyourguide from Livorno via Florence to Pisa and back: And were dropped off directly at our ship in Livorno, thank you very much! AIDA was running late that morning, but the people from tuscanybus already knew about it, so our tour started stress-free, contrary to expectations. Our bus driver was Francesco, our guide for the day: Alessandro. I thought we only booked transfers to each city. Florence is 90 kilometers inland, Pisa is at least 40 minutes away from Livorno. But we wanted to see both cities! And the transfer should be as uncomplicated as possible but not as incredibly expensive as if we had booked the excursion via the ship. tuscanybus gave us an experienced guide for our tour. I think Alessandro studied history. He was an excellent guide through Tuscany and made our day

The trip to Florence is worth seeing. The English-speaking tour guide was very friendly and explained everything in detail. Unfortunately, my knowledge of English is not very good, so I didn't understand that much during the bus tour. Nevertheless, I was able to find and admire all the sights in Florence and Pisa. The price-performance ratio was right.
