This shore excursion takes you from your cruise ship in La Spezia by air-conditioned coach to explore Pisa and the Gulf of Poets (Golfo dei Poeti) in a single day. Enjoy about 2 hours of free time at Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli to see the Leaning Tower, Cathedral and Baptistery at your own pace, then stop at one of Sarzana, the Cinque Terre coast or Lerici on the way back. A multilingual tour leader accompanies you and shares useful information and tips along the way. Your return to the cruise terminal well before your ship departs is guaranteed, so you can relax and enjoy the day.

Meet your tour leader at the La Spezia Cruise Terminal and board an air-conditioned GT coach. During the roughly 1-hour drive across the Tuscan countryside, your tour leader shares information, tips and recommendations about Pisa so you are ready to explore as soon as you arrive.

After a walk of about 15 minutes from the coach terminal, arrive at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Piazza dei Miracoli and enjoy about 2 hours of free time. Admire at your own pace the Leaning Tower of Pisa, begun in the 12th century and tilting since its construction, the Romanesque Cathedral built of white marble, and the largest baptistery in Italy.
If time allows, stroll the lanes of the historic center, cross the bridges along the Lungarni on the Arno River, and visit Piazza dei Cavalieri, once the seat of the Order of Saint Stephen founded by the Medici. Before leaving, taste local Tuscan food at the cozy cafés along Via Santa Maria.

Leaving Pisa, head along the Gulf of La Spezia to your second destination. This coastline is called the Gulf of Poets because poets such as Byron and Shelley loved it. Depending on the tour schedule, you will visit one of Sarzana, a town with medieval walls, the dramatic Cinque Terre coastline with its cliffside villages, or the picturesque fishing village of Lerici for photos and a stroll.

At the end of the day, return by coach to the La Spezia Cruise Terminal. The tour is run to arrive well ahead of your cruise departure, and your timely return to the ship is guaranteed.
※ The second stop (Sarzana, the Cinque Terre coast or Lerici) depends on the tour schedule.
※ Monument tickets are not included. If you wish to enter the tower or cathedral, please purchase tickets separately during your free time.
