Leaning Stones, Renaissance Walls and Chianti: A Private Day from Livorno
A 9-hour private tour from Livorno that visits Pisa’s Square of the Miracles, Lucca’s historic walls and finishes with a Chianti tasting at a local vineyard.
Leaning Stones, Renaissance Walls and Chianti: A Private Day from Livorno.
From the cruise dock in Livorno, this private nine-hour route threads through Tuscany’s layered history — Pisa’s Square of the Miracles and its Romanesque cathedral complex, a stroll through Lucca’s medieval heart and its famed city walls, then a drive into the Lucchese countryside to taste Chianti at a family-run winery.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Pisa — Square of the Miracles and the Leaning Tower
Visit Pisa’s Square of the Miracles to see the Leaning Tower — begun in 1176 and completed in 1350 by Tommaso Pisano — alongside the cathedral and baptistery, whose Pisan Romanesque and Gothic motifs create the square’s harmonious ensemble.
Lucca’s compact, walkable old town and city walls
Wander Lucca’s medieval streets shaped by Etruscan and Roman layers and by later aristocratic rule — including the period under Elisa Baciocchi — and take the town’s distinctive city walls, a defining feature of the old town.
Vineyards, olive groves and a Chianti tasting
A local winery walk introduces the vineyards and olive groves, with an expert explaining the grapes used for Chianti followed by a tasting accompanied by house specialties; biscottini and Vin Santo are offered as a dessert wine option.

How the day unfolds
