Monica helped me organize 5 day tours in Italy during a recent cruise and all were excellent. We had the same guide, Federico, for tours from Naples, Rome and Livorno. While my wife and I had been to all of these ports a number of times before, we were traveling with two other couples who were enjoying their first trip to Italy. I wanted to be sure they could experience our favorite places and Monica allowed us to customize our tours. For example, when we docked in Livorno the first time, I wanted to drive first to Florence to see the Duomo then walk across the Ponte Vecchio to a favorite restaurant, Quattro Leoni, for lunch then on to a visit of the town of San Gimignano for a walking tour and finally back to the ship. It worked exactly as I'd planned. Monica even made the lunch reservation for us. In Rome, we were able to take a tour of the Colosseum, the Catacombs, visit the magnificent Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica and return to the ship in plenty of time for our departure. Monica arranged for private guides for the Sistine Chapel and for Pompeii when we were in Naples. We were scheduled to make a second port call in Livorno later in the cruise and the plan was for Federico to take us to Pisa for the Leaning Tower and on to Lucca for a tour and lunch. While sailing toward Livorno the captain informed us that due to weather we would not be docking in Livorno but would instead dock at La Spezia, a considerable distance to the north. I made a call to Federico to inform him of that and thought our visit to Pisa and Lucca would have to be cancelled. Federico texted me back that it would be impossible for him to get to La Spezia but that Monica was working on it. Some time thereafter I received an email from Monica that she had arranged for another guide, Giuliano, to meet us at La Spezia and take us to Pisa and Lucca. While in Lucca, Giuliano recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch.

All our tours were in an eight passenger Mercedes van which was very comfortable for the 6 of us. If you are planning any tours in Italy, put yourself in Monica's capable hands and you will have an excellent experience.

A friend recommended Shore Excursions and the recommendation was well deserved. We used the service to travel between Rome and Florence and stopped in Orvieto for sight seeing and shopping going and Montecchio for lunch on the way back. Ricardo and Salvatore were wonderful drivers and guides very prompt and friendly :D. The sprinters were very nice and of course had

I booked this up on the cruise critic roll call website, having thought we may go by train to these places.

Really thank goodness we didn't!! The 8 of us who booked this all booked up The Leaning Tower of Pisa for 9.00 am. Well we left Livorno at 8.00 am, with the lovely Sabrena not only driving through the Italian traffic, but also giving a super commentary.

We were on top of The Tower at 9.00 am. Quite surreal really, 4 members of the Cruise Critic Roll Call Forum meeting there!!

Off then to Florence, into the Accademia, for about 40 minutes and also the Duomo.

So what made it so good?? Of course Sabrena, she took us every where, found us a very good Italian Restaurant for lunch, where real Italians ate, and also a superb Gelateria afterwards.

For some reason all 8 of us were all on the same wavelength, and we had a real laugh the whole day. 2 English, 2 Canadian, 4 American, and of course Sabrena.

We were taken back on a very nice country road, and got back well in time for the ship to leave.

A really fun day, and way beyond my expectations.

In planning our shore excursions for our Mediterranean cruise, I couldn't find exactly what I wanted with the ship's offerings. So I followed the advice from some friends and contracted with "Shore Excursions in Italy". We were so happy that we did! Although they have a suggested itinerary, we were able to customize it to our wishes. Working with Monica was so easy. She was always so prompt in answering my many emails.
Mauro, a handsome young man with excellent English, was full of information and was just wonderful. We were picked up promptly at 8:00am and driven in a new Mercedes to Pisa, then had a drive through the Tuscan countryside with a quick stop at an olive oil processing place. Then on to Florence where we were taken directly to a site which overlooks the city. Tickets were purchased for us in advance so we didn't have to stand in line to see "The David" in the Academmia. Other sites were seen and then we were driven to the Ponte Vecchio where there is wonderful shopping. We were given a choice for lunch as to whether we wanted to have a sit-down leisurely lunch or have a quick lunch. We opted for the quick lunch so we could have more time for shopping. Mauro took us to a wonderful place to have pizza that was sooooo good. At the end of the day we were taken to "the best gelato place in Italy". Yes, it was. We got back to the ship in plenty of time.
We also booked Shoreexcursionsinitaly.net for our stop in Naples. There, too, we had a wonderful day at Pompeii, Sorrento, and Positano. I will always take private tours whenever I can and I will definitely take Shore Excursions in Italy whenever we go back there. After researching other companies and having experienced another company in Rome, I feel confident in knowing that we chose the best and most professional company. An added bonus was that the private tours cost less than the ship tours, and we weren't on a bus!!!

If you want to visit Florence and surroundings from Livorno Port , we suggest you to take a private tour as we did starting at Livorno and going to Florence and a winery in the surroundings.
Our driver took us to this magnificent city showing us all the beauties and explaing us all the information. Then he took us to a local restaurant called "Latini" where we had a wonderful lunch and then the best gelato at "Carraia" Ice cream shop...our best gelato ever eaten.
you can contact them at www.shoreexcursionsinitaly.net
and Monica will answer your questions so promtly like she did with us. Terrific experience with them!!

Look no further THIS COMPANY IS FANTASTIC!!!! We booked Shore Excursions in Italy 9/18/14 for our family of 4, Sergio our driver was superb, extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and most importantly a very safe and cautious driver. Our day was simply awesome! On our 13-night Celebrity Equinox cruise Shore Excursions of italy was one of our most memorable excursions and far better than booking on the cruise ship and going on a bus with 50 people. Sergio was our driver for the day and he was very accommodating to our desires allowing us to visit Piza on our way to Florence. After just the right amount of time in Pisa to see the sites, we traveled to Florence which Sergio provided interesting information about Florence on our drive there. We went on our own private excursion to the Academia Museum and Uffizi Museum a SUPER BONUS not having to wait in lines at all! Sergio took us to a special line for private tours we bought our tickets and into the museums we went it. Amazing organization!!! We had as much or as little time as we desired to view the museums. After visiting both museums we split up for shopping and exploring the city. The four of us had an extremely fabulous and memorable day. We even had time to enjoy the most amazing Gelato! Sergio gave us explicit directions and he stayed parked where he dropped us off so there was no problem locating him when we were finished. We returned to the ship in perfect timing for our cruise! We HIGHLY recommend Shore Excursions in Italy and ask for Sergio for your driver you will definitely love him! This will be one of your excursions that is totally worth the money spent. I am posting my review as I am very thankful to have found Shore Excursions Italy when looking to book before our cruise.

We (2 couples) had an outstanding experience on a recent (late June 2014) tour stop in Livorno. Driver (Claude) was on time (from and back to the port) and very informative. He took us on a scenic drive with multiple photo stops and several visits to small villages that seemed right out of a movie. He even treated us to coffee with the locals on one stop. Lunch at Casa Emma winery then another scenic ride back to the port. We (both couples) highly recommend this tour and Shore Excursions in Italy delivered as promised.

We used Shore Excursions for our tour in Naples as well. (See that review). We booked this well in advance and our contact with the Monica in the office was fast and easy. Carlo was our tour guide. He was waiting for us as we got off the ship. We booked the Pisa/Florence tour. We went to Pisa first, and Carlo gave us about an hour to wander around. The tour is breathtaking and it is amazing to be there in person. We then drove to Florence. Carlos was very knowledgable about the area and answered all of our questions. We first stopped at an overlook to see all of Florence. Words can't describe how beautiful it was. From there we drove into town. Our first stop was the Church of San Croce where we saw the tombs of Michaelangelo, Galilleo and Machiavelli. From there we went to the Accadamia where we had a reservation which allowed us to avoid the long lines. Inside we saw the Statue of David. After that we had time to wander around Florence and do some shopping. Carlo then took us back to our ship in plenty of time.

We joined a small group for a one day excursion to Pisa, San Gimignano & Florence and using the tour company made it all so easy. Our driver, Massimo, actually lives in Florence, so he knows the area well. He was totally accommodating and gracious -- all the right skills to handle tourists. And it was wonderful to leave the driving and parking to him - it made it all so easy.

This was our first time in the area & I wasn't sure that we could reasonably do everything listed on this tour. Massimo managed to get us to Pisa in the morning, San Gimignano for mid morning and Florence for lunch and afternoon -- and none of it was rushed. What's key is to find a group with the same interests as yours -- and to work with a first rate company, which Shore Excursions is. On these special days the driver/guide makes all the difference. We will use this company again - and in other ports.
