After meeting at the dock we will reach Pisa (30 min drive) through the old Aurelia Way flanked with hundreds of “umbrella” pine trees and a striking view of the Alpi Apuane and the white marble quarries. We will visit Piazza dei Miracoli & The Leaning Tower (opportunity to climb the Tower, takes 30 min (pre booking recommended). We will drive through Piazza dei Cavalieri where the famous Scuola Normale Superiore founded by Napoleon is located, and then we will go straight to Lucca. While approaching to Lucca we will have the opportunity to visit Villa Torrigiani dated back to 16th century, one of the most spectacular property in the whole area and its French-style garden (visit takes 30 min, entrance € 9.00).

Then we will reach the centre of Lucca. Lucca has a very rich history and is one of the most interesting Tuscan towns: born as a roman colony, during the 16th century has been completely surrounded by walls becoming a real fortressDuring the Napoleonic era Lucca was occupied by the French and became the Principality of Elisa (Napoleon sister). You will start the walking tour through the most important sites: the famous wall, the roman amphitheatre, San Michele Church, the Duomo, Piazza Napoleone, etc.

We will then drive to Torre del Lago enjoying a beautiful panorama of the Massaciuccoli Lake and visiting the house where Giacomo Puccini lived and composed some of his most famous operas. Finally we will drive back to the ship.

The advantages of this type of private service unlike tours organized by bus is the fact that you can reach all places of interest by car very quickly without wasting time on exhausting and long walks, for obvious reasons buses have not access to many places of historical center, often only have 4 mandatory stops.
