We Booked a FLorence and Pisa shore excursion from La Spezia where our ship docked. The website is very misleading. We booked a 'transfer and walk with local', rather than 'transport only' and paid extra for this. You would assume it would be a knowlegable guide. Firstly they didn't have our correct booking and said we asked for transport only. It took 20 minutes to confirm we had the 'with a guide and not transport only. When we got to Florence, this 'guide' took us to the main streets and when asked about anything, she said she couldn't tell us as she was not a licensed guide. I could have followed a map to the main attractions ourselvles. We learnt nothing about beautiful Florence. When the coach got to Pisa, they left us in a Coach Park with no directions of how to get to the leaning Tower. The 'guide' was just on her phone all the time. You think you might be saving money from the cruise excursions but this was an utter waste of money as it is not a proper guided tour. Beware!
