Well organised but lacking in any in depth information

Very well organised. All ran to time and all was V efficient. There was a lack of information about the places we were visiting and a few snippets along the way throughout the journey. Maps were given out, the guided tour in Florence took us from one place to another well however no info was given about the venues. 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there throughout the hour then an hour to self explore. Pisa was v interesting again no real information was imparted by the guide, just meet you back here in 40 minutes. Coach was comfortable. Timings excellent. Very cost effective. Would recommend due to cost against a shore excursion offered on the ship. Would advise you do some homework before your visit as it would help with the history of these places.

Amazing Experience

Our group leader Mr. Swan was absolutely amazing. We were on a cruise, so our time was very short. We were very concerned about returning on time, but we arrived back on time and we had a great time!

Way too rushed for 1 day..

Way too much crammed into 1 day. We raced around Florence and saw some things, but no idea what they were. Look for a guided tour with a headset so you can hear more about what you are seeing. We were late arriving at Pisa and had to run to the tower and race up the 250+ stairs if we wanted to actually see it. The guides did a great job of getting us in even though we missed our scheduled time. Definitely needed more time here!

Put on your walking shoes

Overall it was ok. We got to see 2 distant cities from the port. I’ve visited Florence before and didn’t do nearly the amount of walking we did to see the highlights and to get to and from the bus (worst part). I underestimated the sun, bring an umbrella and fan. Pisa was much more relaxing and less walking.
