Traveler reviews
Stress free tour to Pisa
If you’re looking for a stress-free way to visit Pisa from La Spezia, I highly recommend this tour. From the moment we stepped off our cruise ship, the tour was easy to find thanks to the clear meeting location and the friendly welcome from our guide, Alessandro. We departed right on time aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned bus driven by Marco. During the drive, Alessandro shared just the right amount of information about the region and the sights along the way. It was informative without being overwhelming, and he did an excellent job explaining the schedule and emphasizing arrival and departure times so everyone knew exactly what to expect. Once we arrived in Pisa, it was only about a five-minute walk to the main attractions, giving us plenty of free time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the area at our own pace. At the end of our visit, Alessandro was easy to locate at the designated meeting point and efficiently guided everyone back to the bus. We returned to the port on time with plenty of time to board our ship, which made the entire experience worry-free. Overall, this was an excellent excursion. The scenery along the drive was beautiful, the transportation was comfortable, and Alessandro and Marco made the trip smooth, organized, and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting La Spezia on a cruise.
Do it!
We had a great time on our tour. Martina was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. I would definitely send my clients on this tour.
What you need to know
What you need to know in this port you will be shuttled by bus from the ship to the cruise terminal. This takes 5 to 10 minutes. After you walk through and out the cruise terminal, Martina will be waiting for you to give you a map and sticker. She waits over by the brick building you can see out the front doors of the cruise terminal. She wears a green shirt. The app did not issue tickets but all you need is to give her your name. Martina was very informative and made sure everyone knew where and when they had to be at.
Very disorganized and...
Very disorganized and paid $188 for basically a bus ride. The tour guide was rude and dismissive when I asked a question. The tour guide was not utilized at all and we were left on our own to figure everything out.
Disgusted with piss
When I got in line to go into the tower, I was told that the line was for buying tickets. So I went to the front of the line and the person selling tickets told me to go to get in line. I showed him the confirmation and he refused and kept telling me to get in line. If I waited to get into the tower, I wouldn’t have enough time to get back to the bus that took me to my cruise ship on in la Spezia. So I spent money and was not allowed to climb the tower.
