Detailed Itinerary
Monte Carlo, Monaco
Glitzy, glamorous, and unashamedly luxurious - live the high life in Monte Carlo. From the super-yachts jostling for position in the harbor to the lavish bars splashing out iced champagne, tiny Monaco's only city is a high-rolling, decadent affair - and a gloriously indulgent, sun-soaked taste of the good life. Famed for its low tax status - and the Formula One race that roars through its hairpin bends and tight streets each year - Monaco is the ultimate playground of the rich and famous. Monaco may be the world's second-smallest country - only the Vatican has a smaller footprint - but Monte Carlo has a confidence, impact, and appeal that few can match. The gilded Royal Palace adds an air of regal glory, and whether you want to soak up the culture at the opera or raise the stakes at a casino - doing your finest 007 impressions - you'll feel very much at home here. Soar above the high-rise hotels and glorious casinos in a helicopter, to see the city from above, and admire landmarks like the cathedral where Grace Kelly married the Prince of Monaco in 1956. High-end fashion, fragrances, and fancy adornments await in the gold-label shops of Monte Carlo's lavish shopping streets, while the old town's pink and lemon floral facades offer an authentic balance of historic character to counterpoint the well-heeled excesses. A wonderful escape, revel in old-world glitz and glam, as you admire twinkling chandeliers and wander between palatial architecture while enjoying your time in Monte Carlo's abundant wonderland. Before you leave, explore the storied fortress that protected this tiny state's independence for so long.
Toulon, France
Genoa, Italy
Most famous for being the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, Genoa is one of Italy's true unsung heroes. Stretched out along the Mediterranean coast just over 100 miles from France, the city is the capital of Liguria, or the Italian Riviera, and has the history to prove it. Once the main trading center for Italy, Genoa has a fine legacy of wealth behind it. The area once had complete control over the Tyrrhenian Sea, and its vast reach stretched as far as Nice to the west, Sardinia in the south, and into the Piedmont mountains in the north. Exports were many, but perhaps the most lucrative of these was the rough denim cloth that sailors would wear, today more popularly known under the moniker blue jean. This affluence has left its mark on the city, think ornate gates, large, leafy palazzos, lavishly decorate churches, and a Centro Storico - or Old Town - that speaks volumes. Grab your best hiking boots and wander the narrow alleys and steep hills and imbibe in the inherent Italianism of the city. No one could talk about Genoa's history without mentioning its food. Home of both Pesto and Focaccia, Genoa is considered by many to be one of the cornerstones of Italian gastronomy. The city's cuisine is very much a product of its terrain: The Mediterranean yields freshly caught fish and seafood found on almost every menu, while the mountains supply the meat, cheese, and above all herbs that flavor the dishes. It may not be fancy, but if you like good, simple Italian food, you have come to the right place.

Livorno (Tuscany), Italy
There are few more elegant places to salute the sunset than Terrazza Mascagni, Livorno's refined chessboard piazza. A historic port, and a beachy gateway to Tuscany, Livorno welcomes you ashore to explore this enchanted Italian region's sun-soaked beauty, rich flavors, and world-renowned fine art. Stay in Livorno to explore 'Piccolo Venezia', or - Little Venice - a quarter of the town that's laced with canals, little marble bridges, and plenty of tempting eateries. With its bustling market, fortresses, and iconic waterfront, there is plenty to keep you busy here, but most will be tempted to venture inland to explore more of Tuscany's many charms and artistic wonders. Test your nose, as you breathe in the subtleties of Tuscany's vineyard-draped scenery and visit wineries showcasing the best of the renowned flavors of the Bolgheri wine-growing area. Or head out to Prato, where you'll find tightly woven textile history. Pisa's showpiece tower is within reach, as is Florence's city of immense and imaginative Renaissance beauty. Admire the delicate carving of Michelangelo's masterpiece, the David statue, and note the provocative stance as he casts a dismissive glance towards Rome. Stand before the city's majestic black and white cathedral - the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore - with its colossal brick dome. The view down over Florence's river and grand dome from Piazzale Michelangelo, meanwhile, is one of Italy's finest. However you choose to spend your time in Tuscany, you'll discover an artistic region, filled with beauty designed to appeal to every sense.

Porto Santo Stefano, Italy
A summer escape for Rome's historic elite, the stacked waterfront of Porto Santo Stefano is a secluded taste of idyllic southern Tuscany. Physically closer to Rome than Florence, the city is strung to Italy's western coast by two sandy harnesses and sits on the unique peninsula of Monte Argentario - which was once an island. Flamboyant pink flamingos and herons stroll through the encased lagoon, while Porto Santo Stefano's waterfront hums with clinking cafes and strolling visitors. The luxury yachts in the harbor show that Porto Santo Stefano has lost none of its luxury appeals, and with beaches, wild hikes, and waterfront beauty, it continues to lure visitors to this secluded escape. Known for its fishing and cuisine - which is based on heavy use of the Tyrrhenian Sea's juicy bounty. Stroll to Piazza dei Rioni for a dripping lemon gelato, or wander the streets noticing the lingering World War II damage - the city was heavily bombed during the conflict. Fortunately, the historic, star-shaped, Spanish fort was spared, and it still watches out resolutely over the waters. Built during the Napoleonic Wars, it fortified the exposed town against pirate raids and offers beautiful views over the old town's terracotta roofs. Rugged coastline falls to secluded beaches, with a wilder, unkempt charm. Sail the coves - seeing cascading olive groves - or island hop to Giglio and Giannuti, which lie 12 miles from shore, and can be seen from the monastery-topped Argentario Mountain. On the other side of the promontory, you'll find Porto Ercole - where the lifeless body of the Old Master, Caravaggio, was discovered.

Naples, Italy
Raw, unvarnished, and refreshingly authentic, Naples is Italy's third-largest city and a place like nowhere else. They say, "see Naples and die", and you'll soon discover the unique energy and exuberance of this sprawling city, which balances urban grit and timeless wonder like no other. Set on the breathtaking Bay of Naples, with the looming cone of Mount Vesuvius puncturing the blue sky close by, it can take a little time for Naples to work its way under your skin - but once you attune to its rhythms, you'll be hopelessly under its spell. Naples's densely packed, towering streets lend a claustrophobic, canyon-like feel to the UNESCO World Heritage Site city center. Here, overflowing market stalls sell handcrafted goods along tight alleyways, and hidden courtyards serve up glasses of glowing Aperol Spritz. The smell of freshly-baked focaccias and drying washing hang over the thoroughly lived-in streets, while stunning baroque churches rise out of nowhere. Wherever you wander, this is a city sprinkled with immense cultural treasures and artistry - from palaces to fortresses and ruins from antiquity. Unpretentious food, made from simple, flavorful ingredients is a feature of Naples' revered cuisine, and the birthplace of pizza is the perfect city to taste fire-baked, shockingly underpriced, margherita. Wash it down with a bottle of wine perfected by the fertile slopes of Vesuvius. A sharp espresso is always welcome to punctuate your time exploring. Mount Vesuvius's destructive impulses destroyed and conserved the ancient city of Pompeii in the blink of an eye, and the town is one of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the world. Naples' National Archaeological Museum displays many magnificent finds should you wish to stay in the city. The Amalfi Coast's immeasurable beauty also stretches out close by, while Capri's glorious island glamorously luxuriates just offshore.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
All roads lead to Rome, and with good reason - this city is one of the world's most thrilling, offering unmatched history along every street. An evocative, inspiring, and utterly artistic capital of unrivaled cultural impact, Rome is a city of back-to-back landmarks, which will take you on an exhilarating journey through the ages. This may be one of the world's oldest cities, but it's well and truly lived in. The ruins are punctuated with murmuring cafes, and the outdoor seating of restaurants sprawls out across piazzas, enticing you to sample tangles of creamy pasta and crispy pizzas. Rome's incredible Roman Forum is littered with the ruins of its ancient administrations, which have stood firm for 2,000 years, since the times when the area was the center of the Western world. Few sites are more simultaneously beautiful and haunting than that of the storied Colosseum, which looms deep into Rome's rich blue sky. Take a tour to learn details of the grisly goings-on within. The best way to experience Rome is to wander its streets, gelato in hand. There is a lot to see here - whether it's the domed spectacle of the Pantheon, or the elaborate flowing waters and artistry of the Trevi Fountain. Vatican City is an astonishing, colossal display of Catholic grandeur, while the Spanish Steps - crowned by the Trinità dei Monti church - offer a beautiful spot to gather and soak up the lively atmosphere of this humming city. With so much on the to-do list, you'll relish the breaks you take, enjoying simple pleasures like a strong espresso, or fresh pasta with tomato sauce and ripped basil.

Exploring Camogli
GOA-KExplore the romantic seaside hamlet of Camogli during this bespoke, half-day sightseeing excursion. Genoa, Camogli, Guided Walking Tour Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one hour drive to Camogli, a small fishing village and famous tourist resort located in the Genoa Province, at the base of Monte di Portofino on the Italian Riviera. Camogli dates from ancient times, as shown by traces of human settlements from the 13th-century B.C. found at Castellaro. In the same area, Roman artefacts dating back to the 2nd-century B.C. were unearthed. More recently, a document dating from the Middle Ages cites Camogli as 'Villa Camuli'. Upon arrival, take a guided walking tour of Camogli. Harbour, Colourful Houses, Beach, Basilica Santa Maria Assunta, Castello della Dragonara The village features a small harbour with colourful, highly-stacked houses built right up to the lovely beach, and offers spectacular views over the Gulf of Paradise on the Italian Riviera di Levante. The Basilica Santa Maria Assunta, largest of the town's five churches, is beautifully decorated with art and gold left by many of the town's seamen when they died. Adjacent to it is an old castle, the Castel Dragone, also known as the 'Castello della Dragonara', built during the Middle Ages as a fortress to defend Camogli from piracy attacks. In the 16th century, the castle ceased to be a fortress and was used as a prison. In the 1970s, after decades of neglect, the building was renovated and housed a small aquarium, which has since closed. Free Time & own Exploration After an exterior photo stop at the castle, some free time is made available for shopping and exploring on your own. During your own stroll, don't miss the opportunity to enjoy, like the locals do as a street food, a very special gastronomic tradition, focaccia al formaggio (focaccia with cheese). Also known as 'focaccia di Recco' after its birth village in Liguria, cheese focaccia is a real Italian street food institution, and typical of Camogli and Recco. In 2014, Focaccia di Recco became a product of Protected Geographical Identification (PGI). At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately one-hour drive back to the pier. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.

Genoa and its Lengendary Food Market
GOA-PThe best way to understand a city is often through its food. And that’s doubly true for Genoa, the undisputed foodie capital of Liguria. This guided excursion ventures into the heart of that flavorful intrigue. MOG Departing the port by coach, you will step off at the Mercato Orientale of Genova 20 minutes later and step into a sprawling covered piazza of edible wonders. Over its three-century history, this one-of-a-kind marketplace has remained a focal point of the region’s immense culinary and cultural pride. And over the next 90 curated minutes, you will learn much about what that means, and what it tastes like. With your seasoned guide in the lead, browse this warren of stalls and discover local specialties like panissa and farinata, two typical street foods made with chickpea flour. At the wine shop, savor the simple, incomparable delight of focaccia with pesto, an iconic Genovese specialty, and nibble savory local cheeses as you enjoy two glasses of wine chosen for this tasting. Free-ranging at Piazza De Ferrari It is just a short walk from the MOG to the heart of the city, Piazza De Ferrari, with its iconic round fountain at the center and surrounding landmarks demarcating the junction of old and new Genoa. With 90 minutes free for independent exploration here, you might step into the grand Ducal Palace, typically hosting various high-profile art exhibitions. Or opt to visit the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, a Romanesque stunner that dates to the 1100s and has been extensively remodeled in the centuries since. It also famously survived a British bomb strike in WWII; the unexploded ordnance still graces the nave. Or you might prefer to simply wander awhile, engaging in some delightful retail therapy or relaxing at a corner café to watch Genoa be Genoa. Later, at the appointed time and place, rejoin your guide to reboard the coach and return to the port.

Genovese Pesto Making Experience
GOA-QInvented and perfected in Genoa, pesto sauce captures the fresh, shimmering warmth of the Ligurian sun as if by magic, and remains one of the most popular pasta sauces in Italy. On this delicious excursion, you will master the technique of crafting pesto yourself. Then savor your creation, slathered on Genovese focaccia and accompanied by a glass of local white wine. All within the handsome walls of a historic palazzo in the heart of the city. Your gastro-adventure begins with a short coach transfer from the port to Via Garibaldi, Genoa’s "Strada Nuova" (New Street) dating back to the mid-16th century and lined with enough beautiful palaces to warrant UNESCO designation. You will walk to one of these noble buildings and ascend to the second floor for your private chef-led demonstration of how to make traditional Pesto alla Genovese. The recipe commands DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) status, meaning that only sauces made in a specific way and with authentic ingredients can be called Pesto alla Genovese in Italy and the EU. Prepare to get your hands personally involved as you learn how to prepare the sauce using a mortar and pestle and the freshest ingredients while watching your chef prepare it. One or two volunteers may join the chef to make the experience even more interactive. Afterward, the reward for your efforts: enjoy the pesto with plump, airy Genovese focaccia and a glass of regional white wine.

NEW EXCURSION Genovese Pesto Making Experience CODE: GOA-Q DURATION 4 HOURS ACTIVITY LEVEL MODERATE Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing. Invented and perfected in Genoa, pesto sauce captures the fresh, shimmering warmth of the Ligurian sun as if by magic, and remains one of the most popular pasta sauces in Italy. On this delicious excursion, you will master the technique of crafting pesto yourself. Then savor your creation, slathered on Genovese focaccia and accompanied by a glass of local white wine. All within the handsome walls of a historic palazzo in the heart of the city. Your gastro-adventure begins with a short coach transfer from the port to Via Garibaldi, Genoa’s "Strada Nuova" (New Street) dating back to the mid-16th century and lined with enough beautiful palaces to warrant UNESCO designation. You will walk to one of these noble buildings and ascend to the second floor for your private chef-led demonstration of how to make traditional Pesto alla Genovese. The recipe commands DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) status, meaning that only sauces made in a specific way and with authentic ingredients can be called Pesto alla Genovese in Italy and the EU. Prepare to get your hands personally involved as you learn how to prepare the sauce using a mortar and pestle and the freshest ingredients while watching your chef prepare it. One or two volunteers may join the chef to make the experience even more interactive. Afterward, the reward for your efforts: enjoy the pesto with plump, airy Genovese focaccia and a glass of regional white wine. And after that, enjoy another hour or so of free time to explore here in the city center before meeting your guide at the preset time and place for the coach return to the port.

Sestri Levante and Wine Tasting
GOA-RDiscover a city with exceptional charm and a winery with some very unique appellations on this half-day excursion to the Ligurian commune of Sestri Levante. Long known as the City of Two Seas, the town occupies an isthmus nestled between two bays along the Gulf of Tigullio. Besides offering stunning views, the locals have a taste for elegant palaces with pastel-colored facades that perfectly reflect in the sea. Your hour long drive from Genoa pier to Sestri traverses coastal bluffs that set the stage for scenic beauty. On arrival, after a brief orientation from your guide, you will have about an hour to savor some of the local color independently. Then, it is time for a different sort of savoring as you continue to the Bisson winery for a cellar tour and a tasting of two glasses of wine from the estate, accompanied by snacks like local focaccia and olives. Back in 1978, Bisson’s founders recognized that some of the local wines made by Ligurian farmers had broader potential. They began to experiment with vinifying in small batches, and soon, the excellent results had revived several nearly forgotten Ligurian varietals like Bianchetta Genovese and Cimixià and sparked the creation of all-new wines like Musaico, a red with a bold personality. That success led to an audacious new goal: producing the first Ligurian sparkling wine. Today, bottles of Spumante degli Abissi are locked in metal cages and submerged in the cool depths of the Baia del Silenzio, where they age for 26 months in the dim light, gently rocked by the sea currents and return to the surface as a delicious sparkling wine like no other. That inventiveness along with the beauty of Sestri Levante make this an inspiring outing, indeed.

After an exterior photo stop here, head to the late-10th-century Basilica di Santa Maria delle Vigne, situated outside the walls of Genoa in a verdant area surrounded by vineyards. The Baroque renovation of the Basilica dates back to 1640. Inside, marvel at works by Lazzaro Tavarone, Domenico Piola and Bernardo Castello. It was in this church in 1794 that a 12-year-old Paganini played in just his second public performance. Palazzo Tursi, Paganiniana Hall, Gesù and Vuillaume Violins, Personal Effects of Paganini The highlight of your tour is guided tour of Palazzo Tursi. Visit its Paganiniana Hall, which preserves and exhibits the famous violin made by Guarneri del Gesù in 1743. Paganini preferred this violin over all the instruments he owned, affectionately calling it 'my violin cannon' for the fullness of its sound. During your visit, see the original accessories of the Cannone, Vuillaume violin, which the musician gave to his favourite, Camillo Sivori, as well as autographed letters, scores including the Carmagnola, autographed letters, and personal effects. Afterward, some free time is made available for shopping and exploring on your own. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the short drive back to the pier. Please note: This tour involves an extensive amount of walking for approximately 1.86 miles (about three kilometres), at times over uneven, natural, and cobblestone surfaces and inclines, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach, Palazzo Bianco, and Palazzo Tursi.

Livorno (Tuscany), Italy
(Wheelchair Accessible) Pisa
LIV-008This tour involves a moderate amount of walking of about 0.7 miles and is specially designed for guests with limited mobility and guests who utilize a wheelchair or a scooter. Start your Accessible Livorno Shore Excursion to Pisa by meeting your driver/guide at the Livorno cruise dock. Board your wheelchair accessible van, and enjoy the approximately 40-minute drive into the scenic town of Pisa. Pisa Since the beginning of the tourist brochure, Pisa has been known for just one thing, the Leaning Tower. However, this world-renowned landmark is but one component of the city's amazing religious core, the Campo dei Miracoli. Here, the Duomo, Baptistery and Camposanto complete an unrivalled quartet of medieval masterpieces. These and a dozen or so churches and palazzo scattered about the town belong to Pisa's 'Golden Age', which took place from the 11th to the 13th centuries when the city was still a port, and one of the maritime powers of the Mediterranean. Campo dei Miracoli Since it was first laid out, Pisa's ecclesiastical centre has been known as the Campo dei Miracoli, or 'Field of Miracles'. The sight of it is as stunning today as it must have been to medieval travellers. Nowhere in Italy are the key buildings of a city arrayed with such precision, and nowhere else is there so beautiful a contrast of stonework and surrounding meadow. Leaning Tower of Pisa Your next stop is the Leaning Tower of Pisa (outside visit only). Underneath the pavement and turf of the Campo dei Miracoli lies a platform of saturated sandy soil, whose instability accounts for the tilting of the Leaning Tower. Begun in 1173, construction of the tower subsided when it had reached just three storeys in height. Over the ensuing 180 years, a succession of architects continued to extend it upwards until it was finally completed and topped with a bell-chamber in 1350. The Duomo Leaving the Leaning Tower, proceed to the Duomo for an outside visit. The Duomo was built in 1064, a century before the Campanile. With its four levels of variegated colonnades and subtle interplay of dark grey marble and white stone, the Duomo is the archetype of the Pisan Romanesque style; a model often imitated but never surpassed. The Baptistery A visit is then made to the Baptistery. The third building of the Miracoli ensemble, the circular Baptistery is a bizarre mix; its three storeys of Romanesque arcades peak in a crest of Gothic pinnacles and its dome is shaped like the stalk of a lemon. After some free time, rejoin your accessible Van for the 40-minute ride to Livorno. Excursions are at an easy pace without the need for excessive walking or physical activities. Being able to board buses and negotiate steps that may be encountered Designed for guests unable to navigate bus steps. This level is ideal for full-time wheelchair/scooter users, slow walkers, and their party. The vehicle on this type of tour has an access ramp (or lift where available) to accommodate a limited number of mobility devices.

Castagneto Carducci & Exclusive Visit to Castello della Gherardesca
LIV-010Experience the medieval beauty, grandeur and legacy of the Castagneto Castle during this Exclusive opening and visit only for few Silversea Guests. Livorno, Castagneto Carducci Village Centre, Palazzo Comunale, Via Marconi Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one-hour drive to Castagneto Carducci, one of the most popular villages on the Etruscan Coast of Tuscany. Perched on a hillside less than 6.2 miles (about ten kilometres) from the sea, the village centre of Castagneto has grown around the imposing medieval castle located on the hilltop. Upon arrival, take a guided walking tour of this charming old village, a peaceful holiday destination that comes very much alive during the summer months. Along the way, see the imposing Palazzo Comunale, with its dominant position at the beginning of Via Marconi, a long street that makes its way downhill towards the coast. The Palazzo Comunale houses the city's Town Hall, and its offices. Castagneto Castle and Gates, Cobblestone Streets, Village Next, a very pretty lane leads you to the 10th-century Castagneto Castle, where you are escorted on an exclusive guided tour of the period rooms and family portrait gallery. See the spectacular view from the original rampart walk running between two lovely, enclosed gardens. Castagneto Carducci today is a lived-in castle and private mansion that is not typically open to the public. It has belonged to the same noble family of the Counts della Gherardesca for 32 generations, where the siblings of the current generation come to spend their summer holidays and reside during the year. Walk through the gates of the castle to enter the small cobblestone streets of the picturesque village, observe the local country lifestyle and enjoy many wonderful, unique and exclusive photo opportunities. Guided Castle Tour, Family Portraits, Period Furnishings, Maps, Coat-of-Arms Next, take a guided tour of the Castagneto Castle. The modern use of this imposing castle hasn't erased its history, which lives through the family portraits, period furnishings, maps and family trees with the most pedigreed Italian lineages intertwined. The coat-of-arms itself, the Half-Imperial Eagle, granted by Frederick I Holy Roman Emperor, embodies the major characteristics of the dynasty. The colour red evokes the heraldic copper and enemies' blood, and the colour gold symbolizes the land, fortified castles and property of the family that defended Tuscany from the costal invasions of Moors and Saracens. All of this speaks the language of the eldest spirit of the Tuscan art of war. Refreshment, Free Time, Castagneto Carducci Village Following your castle tour, proceed for a refreshment including Prosecco, Juices and Canapes that will be served in the garden or in one of the state rooms. Afterwards, some free time is made available to explore the village of Castagneto Carducci with his charming alleyways. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 60-minute drive back to the pier.

LIV-ADiscover the exquisite beauty, art and architecture of Florence during a full-day tour of this historic city, along with some time for independent shopping and exploration. Florence is the Italian city most celebrated by artists and poets. Each street, palace and building is living evidence of its glorious past and proud people. Depart the pier in Livorno via coach for the approximate two-hour drive to Florence, with a comfort stop made en route. Upon arrival, meet your guide and commence your walking tour of the city. Upon arrival in Florence, your escort will accompany you from the parking lot to Piazza Ognissanti, where you will meet your tour guide for a guided walk of the city. Ponte Vecchio After approximately 15 minutes of walking from Piazza Ognissantim you will reach to Ponte Vecchio, also known as the 'Old Bridge'. Ponte Vecchio dates back to 1345 and is the only bridge in Florence to escape being blown up during World War II. It originally housed the workshops of the butchers before they were driven away by the Grand Duke, Ferdinando I, due to the terrible noise and stench they created. Ponte Vecchio was subsequently used as a workplace for goldsmiths and silversmiths; their shops still remain here to this day. Piazza della Signoria Located closed by Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria is Florence's second major piazza, and the political centre of the city because of its Town Hall, or 'Palazzo Vecchio'. The Piazza della Signoria is also known as an open-air museum thanks to its many statues, which include Cellini's Perseus, Giambologna's The Rape of the Sabine Women, Ammannati's Neptune Fountain and a replica of Michelangelo's famous David. Piazza del Duomo Following Piazza della Signoria you will reach Piazza del Duomo with an external visit of St. Mary of the Flower Cathedral. The church is adorned with an impressive façade decorated in white, green and pink Tuscan marble. Highlights to be seen during your visit include the Bell Tower, designed in 1334 by Giotto, and the Baptistery. Its celebrated doors, known as the 'Gates of Paradise', were commissioned in 1401 and designed by Lorenzo Ghiberti. Piazza di Santa Croce The final stop on your guided tour is the eastern quarter of Santa Croce, home of the Piazza di Santa Croce. Upon arrival, an outside visit is made to the Franciscan Basilica that dominates this large square. Over the years, the basilica's construction involved a renowned cast of Florentine architects and masters, including Brunelleschi, Vasari, Giotto and Donatello. Each summer, the Piazza Santa Croce plays host to the 'Calcio in Costume'. During this historical game, the hefty men of the four quarters of Florence battle it out in an ancient mix of wrestling and soccer and are cheered on by residents and visitors alike. For most of the year, however, the square is a peaceful open space surrounded by stately palazzo, and intimate pizzerias and restaurants. Following your guided tour, ample time is made available for lunch on your own and shopping. At the conclusion of your visit, walk from the Piazza Santa Croce to the pick-up point at Piazza Ognissanti and from here to the parking lot, then re-board your coach for the 1.5-hour return drive to the pier. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing.

Medieval Lucca
LIV-CExplore the fascinating streets and squares of Lucca during a scenic and memorable half-day tour of this historic medieval city. Lucca endears itself to everyone who visits, hidden behind imposing Renaissance walls with cobbled streets, handsome piazzas and shady promenades; it makes for a perfect destination to explore by foot. Depart the pier for the approximate 45-minute drive to Lucca. Upon arrival, your tour begins inside the massive red bricks walls, which were built between 1504 and 1645, and are amongst the best-preserved Renaissance defenses in Europe. Lucca Lucca is enclosed by massive red brick walls, which help to give the city its special character by shutting out traffic and the modern world. Within these walls, Lucca is a peaceful city of narrow lanes, preserving intact its ancient Roman street plan. Unlike several other Tuscany's cities, Lucca is flat; many locals use bicycles, which impart an additional charm to the city. This memorable outing is ideal for those looking to experience a Tuscan city that is rich in history, art and architecture, but is hidden from the crowds of tourists. Church of San Michele Along the way, an inside visit is made to the Church of San Michele in Foro, which stands on the site of the ancient Roman Forum. It has a wonderfully-rich Pisan Romanesque façade that competes in splendour with that of St. Martin. Guinigi Tower Another outside visit is then made to the Guinigi Tower, one of many in Lucca that belonged to the Guinigi family, rulers of the city in the 15th century. The tower has a small roof garden, with some trees sprouting incongruously at the top. Anfiteatro Romano Next, proceed to the Anfiteatro Romano, formerly the ancient Roman Amphitheatre. Today, it is enclosed by medieval houses that were built up against the walls of the amphitheatre. It's perfectly-preserved shape reminds us that Lucca was founded by the Romans in 180 B.C. Church of San Frediano From here, continue on to the Church of San Frediano, which is adorned with a striking façade and a 13th-century mosaic (outside visit only). Inside, there is a splendid Romanesque font and beautiful frescoes. In the chapel dedicated to Santa Zita, her well-preserved body is interred. Church of San Martino Your next stop is the Church of San Martino (outside visit only). Lucca's extraordinary cathedral, its façade abuts incongruously on to the campanile. St. Martin is the Roman soldier depicted on the façade dividing his cloak with a sword to share with a needy beggar. Via Fillungo The guided portion of your visit concludes at Via Fillungo, Lucca's principal shopping street, which winds its way through the heart of the city towards the Roman Amphitheatre.

Monuments of Pisa
LIV-DDiscover the beauty of Pisa during this scenic, half-day tour of the city's historic landmarks, including the world-renowned Leaning Tower of Pisa. Since the beginning of the tourist brochure, Pisa has been known for just one thing, the Leaning Tower. However, this world-renowned landmark is but one component of the city's amazing religious core, the Campo dei Miracoli. Here, the Duomo, Baptistery and Camposanto complete an unrivalled quartet of medieval masterpieces. These and a dozen or so churches and palazzo scattered about the town belong to Pisa's 'Golden Age', which took place from the 11th to the 13th centuries when the city was still a port, and one of the maritime powers of the Mediterranean. Pisa Depart the pier for the approximate 45-minute drive to Pisa. Upon arrival at the parking area, walk to the Campo dei Miracoli and commence the guided portion of your tour. Campo dei Miracoli Since it was first laid out, Pisa's ecclesiastical centre has been known as the Campo dei Miracoli, or 'Field of Miracles'. The sight of it is as stunning today as it must have been to medieval travellers. Nowhere in Italy are the key buildings of a city arrayed with such precision, and nowhere else is there so beautiful a contrast of stonework and surrounding meadow. Leaning Tower of Pisa Your next stop is the Leaning Tower of Pisa (outside visit only). Underneath the pavement and turf of the Campo dei Miracoli lies a platform of saturated sandy soil, whose instability accounts for the tilting of the Leaning Tower. Begun in 1173, construction of the tower subsided when it had reached just three storeys in height. Over the ensuing 180 years, a succession of architects continued to extend it upwards until it was finally completed and topped with a bell-chamber in 1350. Leaving the Leaning Tower, proceed to the Duomo. The Duomo The Duomo was built in 1064, a century before the Campanile. With its four levels of variegated colonnades and subtle interplay of dark grey marble and white stone, the Duomo is the archetype of the Pisan Romanesque style; a model often imitated but never surpassed. The Baptistery A visit is then made to the Baptistery. The third building of the Miracoli ensemble, the circular Baptistery is a bizarre mix; its three storeys of Romanesque arcades peak in a crest of Gothic pinnacles and its dome is shaped like the stalk of a lemon. Piazza dei Cavalieri Leaving the Campo dei Miracoli, visit the Piazza dei Cavalieri. One of Pisa's most interesting sites, the Piazza dei Cavalieri is a large square that opens unexpectedly from the narrow back streets, and includes the site of the Roman Forum. The central civic square of Medieval Pisa, the Roman Forum was subsequently remodelled by Vasari and became the headquarters of the Knights of St. Stephen. Palazzo dell'Orologio On the western side of the square is the Renaissance-adapted Palazzo dell'Orologio. In 1208, the military leader Ugolino della Gherardesca, along his sons and grandsons, was starved to death in its tower as punishment for his alleged duplicity with the Genoese enemy. Following your guided walking tour, walk back to the parking area and re-board the coach for the approximately 45-minute drive back to the pier.

S.A.L.T. Dreamy San Miniato: Meet a Natural Wine Master and Learn Wine & Food Pairing with Emiko Davies and Marco Lami
LIV-009Meet your guide at the pier and board the minibus for the 60-minute drive to reach San Miniato. Wine Estate Fattoria Collebrunacchi First stop will be at Fattoria Collebrunacchi. Fattoria Collebrunacchi is located on the San Miniato hills, between the provinces of Pisa and Florence. It is a family-run agricultural business that spans 60 hectares of land, of which 4 are cultivated with vineyards, 20 with arable crops, and 25 are wooded. The farm specializes in the production of local products, particularly those from the truffle-producing region. The production of wine is the most well-known activity of Fattoria Collebrunacchi, which dates back to the 14th century and is still made today with great care and attention to detail. The land on which the farm is located is particularly fertile, at an altitude of around 180 meters above sea level. This is due to the fact that the area is characterized by deep, shaded valleys and extremely sunny ridges, along with the presence of fossils and shells from the Pliocene period, approximately three million years ago, which provide the soil with a rich supply of calcium and minerals. In fact, this part of Tuscany was submerged by the sea up to two million years ago, leaving numerous traces behind. Garden and Country House Tour, Wine Tasting We will visit the garden, where you will be impressed by the building, as well as the many lemon, orange, and cypress trees. From here, you can also spot a charming little church that belongs to the property. The garden offers a view of the vineyards that belong to the farm, which are scattered among the hills of San Miniato. The wine tasting will take place inside the house, which is very unique. It’s an authentic country home, complete with a traditional kitchen and a fireplace. The house is furnished with antique furniture, rugs, and mounted animal heads. It’s a lived-in home, filled with paintings, utensils, and various knick-knacks. San Miniato Medieval town, Enoteca Marilu, Lunch & Wine Pairing with Emiko Davies and Marco Lami Your will reboard your minibus and head 15 minutes away into the hilltop town of San Miniato, which sits on the ancient pilgrim route, the Via Francigena, where you will have a private, exclusive three course lunch prepared by cookbook author and food writer Emiko Davies at Enoteca Marilu, the multifunctional space - a natural wine shop/bar + cooking school - Davies and husband, sommelier Marco Lami (formerly head of the wine program at legendary restaurant Cibreo, in Florence) have recently inaugurated in the heart of the town. Marco will continue his wine lesson through the first course of the lunch, which is an antipasto platter where you will learn how to pair wine with food. This will be a rather technical experience, focusing on the deliciousness of food but also on how to match what's in the dish with what's in the glass (i.e., you will have to put both food and wine in your mouth at same time and chew together to understand if the pairing works). Marco will show this through a tasting of 4-5 food and wine elements, e.i. bubbles + fried food; tannins + proteins; nutty + truffles - we are in San Miniato after all - sweet + spicy, plus a dessert wine pairing with blue cheese. This will be followed by a pasta dish (e.g., handmade pasta like pici or ravioli, perhaps gnudi) and a dessert which will be paired with a dessert wine and a cheese.

Dreamy San Miniato: Meet a Natural Wine Master and Learn Wine & Food Pairing with Emiko Davies and Marco Lami CODE: LIV-009 DURATION 7 HOURS ACTIVITY LEVEL MODERATE Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing. MEAL INCLUDED A meal is included in the excursion. Meet your guide at the pier and board the minibus for the 60-minute drive to reach San Miniato. Wine Estate Fattoria Collebrunacchi First stop will be at Fattoria Collebrunacchi. Fattoria Collebrunacchi is located on the San Miniato hills, between the provinces of Pisa and Florence. It is a family-run agricultural business that spans 60 hectares of land, of which 4 are cultivated with vineyards, 20 with arable crops, and 25 are wooded. The farm specializes in the production of local products, particularly those from the truffle-producing region. The production of wine is the most well-known activity of Fattoria Collebrunacchi, which dates back to the 14th century and is still made today with great care and attention to detail. The land on which the farm is located is particularly fertile, at an altitude of around 180 meters above sea level. This is due to the fact that the area is characterized by deep, shaded valleys and extremely sunny ridges, along with the presence of fossils and shells from the Pliocene period, approximately three million years ago, which provide the soil with a rich supply of calcium and minerals. In fact, this part of Tuscany was submerged by the sea up to two million years ago, leaving numerous traces behind. Garden and Country House Tour, Wine Tasting We will visit the garden, where you will be impressed by the building, as well as the many lemon, orange, and cypress trees. From here, you can also spot a charming little church that belongs to the property. The garden offers a view of the vineyards that belong to the farm, which are scattered among the hills of San Miniato. The wine tasting will take place inside the house, which is very unique. It’s an authentic country home, complete with a traditional kitchen and a fireplace. The house is furnished with antique furniture, rugs, and mounted animal heads. It’s a lived-in home, filled with paintings, utensils, and various knick-knacks. San Miniato Medieval town, Enoteca Marilu, Lunch & Wine Pairing with Emiko Davies and Marco Lami Your will reboard your minibus and head 15 minutes away into the hilltop town of San Miniato, which sits on the ancient pilgrim route, the Via Francigena, where you will have a private, exclusive three course lunch prepared by cookbook author and food writer Emiko Davies at Enoteca Marilu, the multifunctional space - a natural wine shop/bar + cooking school - Davies and husband, sommelier Marco Lami (formerly head of the wine program at legendary restaurant Cibreo, in Florence) have recently inaugurated in the heart of the town. Marco will continue his wine lesson through the first course of the lunch, which is an antipasto platter where you will learn how to pair wine with food. This will be a rather technical experience, focusing on the deliciousness of food but also on how to match what's in the dish with what's in the glass (i.e., you will have to put both food and wine in your mouth at same time and chew together to understand if the pairing works). Marco will show this through a tasting of 4-5 food and wine elements, e.i. bubbles + fried food; tannins + proteins; nutty + truffles - we are in San Miniato after all - sweet + spicy, plus a dessert wine pairing with blue cheese. This will be followed by a pasta dish (e.g., handmade pasta like pici or ravioli, perhaps gnudi) and a dessert which will be paired with a dessert wine and a cheese. After lunch, you will be driven back to the port of Livorno. Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking of approximately 1.2 km over some gravel and few steps.

Ancient Pompei & Lunch of Roman Era
NAP-005Hidden under ash and pumice for centuries, the excavated archaeological site of Pompeii is widely considered the foremost example of an ancient Roman town.

See the mansions and artwork of the wealthy residents who moved to Pompeii to escape the turmoil of Ancient Rome. On display are numerous paintings and inscriptions, including notices about wine sales, apartment vacancies, upcoming events, political announcements, and even personal love notes. In addition to several homes, highlights also include the Forum, open and covered theatres, and the Stabian Baths. The pathways are endless and the buildings fascinating.

Explore the Borbonic Gallery & Pizza Experience
NAP-003Combining the splendorous with the mysterious with the delicious, this half-day guided walk has something for everyone. Take in impressive city sights above ground, then venture underground to explore the fascinating Galleria Borbonica tunnel. Afterwards, dine on a certain tomato-and-cheese flatbread delight invented right here in Naples. Walking tour, Piazza Plebiscito Lead by your knowledgeable guide, you’ll set out on foot from the port, spending the first 30 minutes taking in sights like the 13th-century Castel Nuovo, an awe-inspiring 5-towered fortress with Triumphal Arch dominating the harbor. As you progress, narrow city streets give way to the Piazza del Plebicito – a sprawling pedestrianized central square forming the heart of the city. Anchored by marquee structures, highlights here include the stately red Royal Palace, beautifully colonnaded Church of San Francesco di Paola, the Teatro di San Carlo, and handsome Galleria Umberto. Borbonic Gallery Underground Visit Having learned about these street-level stunners, a stroll below ground will soon reveal the odd world of Galleria Borbonica, a gigantic arched tunnel built in 1853 by King Ferdinand II of Bourbon to provide a hidden connection between the Royal Palace and the barracks. During these turbulent times, the King liked the idea of having an escape route large enough to accommodate the royal carriage – and this passage, incorporating a 17th-century aqueduct system, fit the bill. During WWII, this same gallary sheltered thousands of Neapolitans from relentless air raids. A wealth of curious debris was left behind for you to encounter during your underground visit, including dusty vintage cars and decaying motorbikes. Napolitan Pizza, Lunch Back above ground, stroll along the Naples waterfront and ogle the Castle of the Egg, a formidable 12th-century stronghold from the Norman era, before landing at a typical Neapolitan pizzeria – and your lunch of delicious Pizza Margherita. At the end of your lunch, walk back to the pier. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing.

Porto Santo Stefano, Siena, Skyline, Palaces, Towers, Landmarks Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately two-hour drive to Siena. Often described as the best-preserved medieval city in Italy, beautiful Siena is a medieval ensemble of palaces and towers cast in warm, pastel-colored bricks. The pride of the city is its skyline, which is dominated by the Gothic Cathedral and taut needle of the Torre del Mangia.

Its medieval Contrade, 17 neighborhoods into which the city has been historically divided, are a vibrant part of modern life.
