it gets you to see the main sights in florence and lisa quickly from your cruise port; gives you a taste of the touristy parts of both cities. our guide sarah was kind and the driver was able to get us back to our ship which was convenient. it was a longer day but for the price and convenience it was worth it

Laverno and Piza with optional entry for a fee.
The title is miss leading. To enter the musuem and leaning tower of piza, you have to pay an entry fee, otherwise all you see is the outside. Laverno was ok, but Piza was worth every penny.
