burrma Posted August 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Looking for reasonable shuttle for 10 people from Civ to Florence with stop in Pisa with English speaking driver. Any suggestions; thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted August 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I believe you meant from Livorno (not Civitavecchia)? I can't recommend a shuttle, but it's very possible to take the train for a modest cost to Florence with a stop enroute to Pisa. On the minus side, it's a short day if you try to do both. On the plus side, it's about the same amount of time you'd spend there if you took a ship tour and far less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bull Posted August 23, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Florence is 2.5 to 3 hours from Civi (the port for Rome). Is this what you meant? Or is your port Livorno, as cruisemom's post? Or La Spezia, which is also used as a port for Florence? JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrma Posted August 23, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thanks to the above two posts; we get off the ship at Civi; we want to get to Florence and hopefully stop at Pisa for a couple of hours on the way. can't do that on the train and with luggage so for 10 people; thought a shuttle would be the way to go. Thanks for any help you can give me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twickenham Posted August 23, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2014 can't do that on the train and with luggage Sure you can. Train up to Pisa - most train stations in Italy have left luggage facilities so that's shouldn't be a problem - then train from Pisa to Florence. Not saying it's what you should ultimately do, but it's certainly very doable. Or, you could do Civi-Rome-Florence by train, and do Pisa as a day trip, depending on how long you'll be there I'm not sure you'll find a shuttle service to do this, and if you do will probably cost several hundred euros.

And if it's just a couple of nights, a hotel in Pisa rather than Florence would resolve the luggage issue. With ten of you, mebbe a van would be a tolerably economical option & more flexible - can I suggest you check prices on the trenitalia site against those from recommended operators like http://www.romeinlimo.com - they're not the cheapest but will give you a ball=park to compare against the train.
