Monday is not
ideal for Florence

Nearly all major Florence museums are closed that day.

Two-destination tours

Some day tours visit two cities. Florence plus Pisa is the most popular combo.

On-your-own
cruise excursions

In addition to offering tour-included Florence shore excursions, some cruise ships have bare-bone ones. You get roundtrip transportation, nothing else. You're on your own in Florence to do whatever you wish.

Save money on
private-guide tours

Rather than booking a dock-to-dock private-guide tour, buy a roundtrip train ticket to Florence. Meet your guide there. Frequent train service links the two cities.
