Livorno Cruise Ship Transfers
The travel time between the Livorno Harbor and the city of Florence is roughly 1 hour and 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic, for a total of about 3 hours round trip travel time. When planning your day in Florence, please keep that in mind as it will help you to understand just how much time you'll actually have to spend in the city.

Our transfers offer you the safety and convenience of a private vehicle and driver to pick you up as you disembark and whisk you off to the beautiful Renaissance city of Florence for the ultimate shore excursion.

Don't worry if your time is limited, we can take you back to Livorno at the end of the day assuring that you get to your ship on time.

Transfer prices are both ways.

When: Everyday at a time specified by your group

Meeting Point: To be specified by your party

Notes: It is important that you provide us with all of your arrival details, including the name of your ship, the dock and time of arrival. Please let us know if you will also be travelling with a lot of luggage so we can be sure to have space in the vehicle.

**Suitability for children: Children are welcome on our transfers however we are not able to provide child car seats and children can not ride on laps.**

Fantastic

My boyfriend and I took the original Florence walking tour, and I have to say it was the best tour of our week stay in Italy. This tour was fantastic because we had Brenda as our tour guide. When someone loves their job so much it really shines through their work and made us enjoy so much more than what there was to see and know about Florence. Brenda was very knowledgeable, funny and well spoken. We also enjoyed her running commentaries on the various happenings around the streets such as watching a woman parking her Vespa on the street or a van moving in a tight space. Very enjoyable and thank you Brenda for a great time!

I took the Florence tour of Florence Artisans. It was amazing. It was the best tour !!!! Our Guide, Helen was fantastic. She took us to places we'd NEVER have been able to find on our own. She was friendly and very informative. In fact, local people were greeting us with such a warm reception which I can only attribute to the fact that she is a well known and liked friend to the city.

I took two tours with Art Viva, and multiple tours with Aventurra Bellisima. Art Viva outperforms hands down. Their tour guides (Elizabeta and Klaus) were fantastic-- knowledgable, engaging, entertaining, and particularly Klaus on art-- he is a superstar art and history teacher. Also, the tour sizes were small <8. (Regrettably only one of Aventurra guides spoke English with sufficient facility to make the tour comprehensible and tour sizes were large 10-20). If I could do it again, I would have chosen Art Viva for all the tours.

Fantastic

We recently did 3 tours in Florence with Artviva and these were the most informative tours I have been on. In addition to the excellent information, you could tell that the guides LOVED their job. It was a pleasure to be on tours that were so interesting and with such enthusiastic and pleasant guides. I recommend this to anyone wanting to really learn about Florence , its art and its history and meaning.
