Great Value and lovely destinations - This was a cruise shore excursion. Meet up in Livorno was well organized and easy. Small group on nice bus. Pisa and Lucca are not far from Livorno so travel time was pleasantly limited on this outing. Pisa was so beautiful, much better than I expected...a Tourist spot yes, but so worth it! Doesnt need a long visit if you just want to walk the area. This tour is too short for climbing the Tower, FYI. Lucca was a wonderful , unique town. Walk the wall and relax! George, our guide had lots of helpful advice for this "self guided tour", provided very good walking maps, and excellent communication for our meet ups. But actually guided us quite a bit sharing a lot of knowledge about both towns! This was one of the best value tours I've taken and also a more laid back one!

Good itinerary for a one day port stop - This was a very good way to see two must-see cities during our Livorno port stop. Lucca was charming. Since we were there on a Sunday we also had the opportunity to peruse the outdoor antiques market. The optional walking tour provided by our guide was a good way to see the important sites of the town. During our spare time we opted to walk the park-like top of the city walls - highly recommended. During the Pisa leg of the day we chose the option to climb the leaning tower, which was a challenge, but totally worth it. Plus it also got us entry into the awe inspiring cathedral. This part of the day was on your own. Our guide for the day Kiyko was very charming and provided a good overview of the cities during the bus rides.

Ok tour - When you get to pizza expect a long walk in the heat through a residential area from where the bus stops to the entrance to the wall city of Pisa. Not pleasant or enjoyable, but it is what it is unless you decide to take a small group tour or private tour then you can get dropped off right in the front otherwise, you have to walk about a mile in the heat not good.

Disappointed with this company - Tour should have been cancelled - The purpose of this tour was, for many travellers, the medieval town of Lucca. This shore/transfer/tour included a much anticipated guided walking tour in Lucca, which would help to sort out Lucca's highlights, because its streets are like a labyrinth. Pisa instead, didn't have a guided walking tour which was fine for most of us. The day before the date, this company sent a whatsapp message informing that due to the crowd present for the Lucca Comics & Games (a famous international event of this genre) which was happening on the next day, day of our tour, the company was reducing the time in Lucca (also cancelling the guided walking tour), giving more time in Pisa and having a walking tour there. Now, this festival consistently occurs around the end of October and the first few days of November for many years. How is it possible that this company ignored this big event and chose to send a message informing about the changes on the day before, without giving the opportunity for us to cancel the tour? You see, their cancellation policy is "free" up to 24 hours of the departure time, but they messaged at 14h31 the day before.
Furthermore, on the day, there was very bad weather in the region of the Livorno area, including Lucca and Pisa. Basically it rained all day, ruining any possibility to see Lucca as people just had to hide in cafés to let time pass. The weather worsened at the end of the day, and later there were even alerts on local mobile phones for the Livorno area due to the weather conditions.
In summary, this company could have given the opportunity to customers to cancel the tour, due to the change of the walking tours, due of an annual Festival which dates are announced months in advance. This company should have cancelled the tour altogether due to the general bad weather (and with official alerts issued) for the region, for knowing that it would be impossible for the travelers to have a reasonable day.
Also to note that when we leave the port shuttle bus in Livorno, in fact the Shore experience representatives are present, but there is an absolute chaos, simply because they don't separate the people that already have bookings to the ones that are asking questions and buying tickets. This could easily be sorted out and ruled . I don't understand why this company puts the customers in this misery of confusion, screams, people trying to jump in front of others, not knowing if they are in the right queue etc.. Our bus, left 15 min late.
The guide, Irene, was professional and had a good sense of humour. There was not much that she could do to "animate the crowds" as everybody understood that our day was ruined. Nevertheless she should bring out more knowledge from her History of Art degree, but there must be strict rules just do the tour guide script.
