What people are saying about Livorno
I had the BEST time EVER, the guide was SUPER knowledgeable and made sure we had an amazing time. We felt well taken care of. I have been on many excursions and this was definitely the best. I would highly recommend and I'm definitely looking into booking more excursions in the future! It was definitely worth the price and I made it back to my cruise in time!
This was the 3rd time we used Get Your Guide on this trip and it did not disappoint! I only regret not getting a guide for Pompeii and only utilizing GYG for transportation. Florence and Pisa would not have been nearly as great without our superb guide!!!
Florence is a wonderful city! Our guide was amazing, she gave us all the required information to enjoy the tour. We arrived perfectly on time back to our ship.
Our tour guides, Alicia and Alex, were fantastic! They were so knowledgeable about each area we toured, and made sure no one got lost or left behind!
Easy pickup and drop off. Girls at station very well informed. Bus clean and guide terrific. Thanks.
