What to Expect

We offer a private Mercedes Minivan and an English-speaking driver who can provide transportation, but we highly recommend adding a private guide for a more memorable experience. A private guide is available for the three-hour tour of Florence. Your driver will be waiting for you at the ship as you disembark, holding a sign with your name on it.

A formidable combination — experience Italy at its best, with the opportunity to visit two exceptional areas in one day.

Leave the port behind and enjoy a scenic drive through the rolling hills of Tuscany, where vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads create the perfect Italian landscape. In approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, you’ll arrive in Florence — the cradle of the Renaissance.

Your experience begins at Piazzale Michelangelo, where Florence unfolds before you in a breathtaking panorama of terracotta rooftops, bell towers, and the iconic dome of the Duomo — a perfect moment for unforgettable photos.

From here, step into the heart of the city and immerse yourself in centuries of art, history, and culture. Wander through Florence’s elegant streets and discover its most celebrated landmarks. Admire the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, with Brunelleschi’s magnificent dome, Giotto’s Bell Tower, and the Baptistery’s golden doors.

Stroll through Piazza della Signoria, an open-air museum filled with Renaissance sculptures, and take in the grandeur of Palazzo Vecchio. Walk along the Arno River and cross the legendary Ponte Vecchio, lined with historic goldsmith shops.

Art lovers can visit the Accademia Gallery to stand face-to-face with Michelangelo’s David.

Between visits, enjoy Florence like a local. Stop at a traditional café for a rich Italian espresso or indulge in authentic gelato from a renowned gelateria.

If you wish, your day can also include hidden corners and artisan workshops, where Florence’s traditions are still alive — from leather craftsmanship to gold jewelry.

Then, continue into the heart of Chianti, one of Tuscany’s most iconic and picturesque regions. This is more than just wine — it is about slowing down, embracing the landscape, and experiencing the authentic soul of the Tuscan countryside.

Here, time seems to move more slowly, and every moment invites you to savor the beauty, flavors, and rhythm of true Italian life.

Drive through rolling vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined hills, where every turn reveals postcard-perfect scenery. Discover charming villages such as Greve in Chianti, known for its welcoming atmosphere and timeless character.

Enjoy a memorable stop at a local winery, where you may choose to relax with a wine tasting and a traditional Tuscan lunch, featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients and regional specialties — a true highlight of the day.

Throughout the day, your itinerary remains flexible, allowing you to move at your own pace and focus on what interests you most — whether it’s art, food, wine, or simply soaking in the atmosphere.

At the end of your experience, relax on the drive back to Livorno, arriving at your ship with plenty of time and unforgettable memories of Florence and Chianti.
