This was our first time here. Livorno is an Italian port city on the west coast of Tuscany. It's known for its seafood, Renaissance-era fortifications and modern harbor with a cruise ship port. Its central Terrazza Mascagni, a waterside promenade with checkerboard paving, is the city's main gathering place. The bastions of the 16th-century Fortezza Vecchia face the harbor and open onto Livorno's canal-laced Venezia Nuova quarter. This is a very industrial port with lots of commercial and cargo ships. After we arrived at the cruise terminal at the port of Livorno we boarded the cruise ship bus to Lerici. When we arrived at Lerici we walked from the cruise ship bus to our rubber boat meeting point at the marina. More to come regarding Lerici.

Very nice cruise post. Very clean and well managed. Easy in and out on the days we were there.read more

They claim that we got a traffic ticket and they were charging us $45 as part of their agreement…read more We said we never got a ticket and they said we would get it in the mail. Never happened. They were scamming us and luckily the credit company agreed with us.

Eight of us used this company to tour Cinque Terra. It was a 9+ hour tour in a van which took us…read moreto 3 cities along the coast. Our driver was Ignazio and we could not have asked for a better ambassador for the Tuscany region. He was a wonderfully skilled driver and pointed out many things as we drove along. We loved our visit to Vernazza, Corniglia and Portovenere (not one of the Cinque). We chose not to go to Manarola since it required a hillside walk down and back that would have consumed about an hour to complete. We did not go to Riomaggiore because it is tiny and best seen from the sea and the ferry was not running that day due to high surf. We did not go to Monterosso al Mare because the road along the sea cliffs had been washed out from a hurricane that hit 4 days prior. Grazie Mille, Papillon Tours.

This was my first trip to Italy, we enjoyed a comfortable ride throughout the countryside in the clean, air conditioned van! Roberto was so knowledgeable and made sure we knew all the best places to visit along with the history of the beautiful Tuscan countryside! He even gave us recommendations for our second leg of the trip to Rome. We will definitely use this service again!!

Bottled water was provided and he even stopped to get Fresh pizza for us. By the time we finished touring with Roberto for two days we felt that we knew so much about the area, history and culture of the region. Roberto's knowledge or art, history, food and culture was so impressive. The tour we did with Roberto was much more than him driving us from place to place. Each place we went was so carefully planned and curated. We visited wineries, vineyards and a sheep farm that makes cheese. With his help, we were able to visit every place we wanted to see as well as some smaller unknown, hidden gems. We saw so many beautiful landscapes and Roberto stopped frequently for us to take in the views! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Roberto. We hope to go back soon to tour Umbria and Florence with Roberto.
