The Quaint Towns of Pisa and Lucca

Overview

You'll meet your representative at the port of La Spezia, who will then take you to the famous city of Pisa; one of the four main Maritime Republics of Italy, until silting of the river left the city 6 miles inland, ending its naval ambitions.

Pisa is home to countless relics, some even dating back to the Roman Empire.
But none are as famous as the indomitable Leaning Tower, one of the most iconic buildings in the world, attracting thousands of tourists each year.

But that isn't to say that the Leaning Tower is the only attraction Pisa has to offer. There are countless other structures, all just as immaculate as the leaning tower.
Take the Piazza Dei Miracoli for example, the cathedral where Galileo Galilei, esteemed inventor, was inspired to invent the pendulum clock.

But Pisa isn't all there is to this tour.
After Pisa, you'll then continue onto the beautiful city of Lucca, another one of Italy's architectural gems.
Famous for its intact Renaissance-era walls, Lucca is home to many medieval basilica-form churches, some dating back to as far as the 8th century.

Lucca's pedestrian island allows visitors to wander around freely, and to enjoy the shops in peace.
It really is a no-brainer.
This tour is a must see to these beautiful cities for yourself!

At the end of the tour you will be taken back to the port of La Spezia in plenty of time for your cruise ships departure.

The driver will give you all the details about pick up times and meeting points and will always have a mobile with him, in case you decide to leave a destination earlier than scheduled, it can be arranged on the day.
