La Spezia Shore Excursion: Pisa and Lucca Day Trip
La Spezia, Italy
After disembarking your ship in La Spezia, explore the beauty of Tuscany on this private shore excursion to Pisa and Lucca! Your driver will show you the most important highlights of these magical cities as you travel in maximum comfort. See Pisa's most celebrated attractions independently, including the Leaning Tower. Climb to the top of the Torre Guinigi, one of the most representative monuments of Lucca, and admire Lucca's architectural jewels from above.
When your cruise ship docks in La Spezia, your driver will pick you up at the La Spezia port and take you on your private shore excursion. Enjoy a relaxing, scenic drive by minivan through the Tuscan countryside and arrive in Pisa, one of the best-known Tuscan cities.
See its most celebrated attraction, the Leaning Tower, which has become a symbol for the Italian Republic. Feel the lean of the structure as you wind your way up the tower and admire great views from the top. Visit the ’Field of Miracles’ and see the cathedral, the Campo Santo cemetery, the Baptistery, and the cathedral museum independently. Afterwards, your driver will be happy to suggest a typical trattoria for an authentic Tuscan lunch (own expense).
Continue your tour with a 30-minute drive to Lucca, the birthplace of opera composer Puccini. Visit Piazza del Mercato, the market square. It owes its irregular shape to the 1st-century Roman amphitheater that once stood here. Discover the Torre Guinigi, one of the most representative monuments of Lucca, whose unusual feature is the enormous oak tree that stands on top of it. Admire the city’s architectural gems from the top of the monument and soak in the tranquil atmosphere.
Take a stroll through medieval streets of Lucca at your own pace and explore the city's renowned tradition of crafts and family-run businesses. Admire the beautiful Church of San Michele with its magnificent marble facade, a fine example of the Romanesque architecture.
After touring independently, meet your driver for a comfortable ride back to the port of La Spezia.

Our family had a great time! Alessio Menchetti was our driver/host and he did a superb job. Our family enjoyed traveling with Alessio as much as we did seeing the sites. Truly a memorable experience and we would highly recommend asking for him when you book this tour.

Our guide Davide from Prestige Rent was fabulous from start to finish. We spent much longer in Lucca than intended as it's a stunning place to visit. This was not a problem for Davide. He recommended a lovely restaurant in Lucca for our lunch then simply called him when we were finished and he was promptly there to pick us up. Pisa was also incredible and this was one of our favourite excursions and highly recommend Davide for his professional and courteous service the whole day.
