looking for a private tour of Florence from Livorno. I would like it to include a visit to the Academy and the Uffizi. Any suggestions or experience with a good tour company? ...you can email me at bd48128@gmail.com if you prefer.

Thanks.

I sent you an email... hopefully you get it. Florence is incredible! And the David at the Accademia is incredible!

We just came back from our Mediterranean Cruise and for our private tour in Florence we booked through http://www.shoreexcursionsinitaly.com and we had a wonderful experience with them.

Our driver Roberto picked us up at Livorno Port with a brand new Mercedes Minivan and drove us to Florence passing through Tuscan Countryside where we stopped for a wine testing.

Once in Florence he took us to Michelangelo Square where we could take wonderful pictures overlooking the city. We visited all the most important places and he gave us a good explanation of everything.

All of this, in addition to a real italian gelato (ice cream) and a typical lunch in a local restaurant called "I Latini" (Salame and ham hanging down the ceiling).

On the way back we had the chance to stop at Pisa for a picture to the Leaning Tower.

What an experience!!

Hi::::here I'M -

Yes...it is true.... Last July my family and I went to Florence for a sightseeing tour of Florence and Lucca from Livorno dock.

We were supposed to have a private tour with

a Limousine company.....but they were fully booked and under emergency circumstances we had chance to know http://www.shoreexcursionsinitaly.com that was very professional in giving us en excellent guided private tour in Florence and Lucca :

In Florence we visited the most important sites including the " Accademia " avoiding line .

In Lucca the english speaking driver guide took us to walk on the city walls and to the best shopping area where local people go.

It was an excellent experience.
