Pisa Lucca Tuscany Tour: Leaning Tower & Countryside

Three Tuscan towns in one morning: Pisa's famous square, Lucca's walled streets, and the hills between them

A private 9-hour tour from Livorno port visits Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli and Leaning Tower, the medieval walled city of Lucca with its cathedral and squares, and the Tuscan countryside, with pickup and return timed to your ship's schedule. An English-speaking driver-guide leads the route. Climbing the tower depends on availability at the time of your visit.

The experience

The tour picks you up at Livorno and drives straight to Pisa, where you'll spend time at Piazza dei Miracoli. The square that holds the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, and the Baptistery all at once. You can climb the tower if spots are open that day, or simply walk the square, take pictures and sit with a cappuccino while the architecture sinks in. The driver-guide is with you throughout, speaking English and handling all the logistics so you don't have to.

Before lunch, you head inland toward Lucca, a walled medieval city that feels entirely separate from Pisa. You get free time to explore on your own: walk the narrow streets, visit Lucca Cathedral and Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, or climb up onto the majestic walls that ring the city (you can even rent a bicycle up there for a different view). Lunch and shopping happen at your own pace. The walls themselves are a green space with panoramic views, and many travelers spend as much time up there as they do in the streets below.

On the drive back to Livorno, the tour takes you through the Tuscan countryside so you see the landscape that connects these towns. The whole day is timed to get you back to the port before your ship departs. That's a built-in guarantee, not a suggestion. Transport is by private air-conditioned vehicle, and all taxes and fees are included.

What’s included

Is this one for you?At 9 hours, this tour fills a port day without leaving you rushed. You see three distinct places and have genuine free time in Lucca, but you're back at the ship with time to spare. If you're docked for less than nine hours or need to explore just one town deeply, a shorter option would serve you better.

Top questions

Can I actually climb the Leaning Tower, or is it just a photo stop?

Climbing the Leaning Tower is possible depending on availability when you visit. The tour includes time at Piazza dei Miracoli whether or not the tower is open to climbers that day, so you'll see the square and the Cathedral either way.

How much free time do I get in Lucca to explore on my own?

Lucca is where the tour gives you the most flexibility. You have time to walk the streets, visit the Cathedral, explore Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, eat lunch and shop, all at your own pace before heading back to the port.

What if my ship arrives late or I need to be back by a specific time?

At booking, you'll provide your ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time. The tour is scheduled to return you to the port on time, and that's guaranteed.

Is the driver also the guide, or do I get a separate person explaining things?

The driver is your guide throughout the day and speaks English, so you get commentary and local knowledge during the drive and at each stop without a separate guide joining the vehicle.

What's included in the price, and what do I need to pay for separately?

The tour includes round-trip transport, the driver-guide, all taxes and fees, and the guarantee of on-time return. Food, drinks, gratuities and any entrance fees to attractions (like climbing the tower) are separate.
