10/31 Livorno ALTERNATIVE SUGGESTION  (31 Oct d2000)

If nothing else works, after a full day tour to Pisa and Florence, you may be interested in visiting Florence for another day The day before you will have received a good idea from your guide about the main sites in Florence, and on the this  day you may want to fully enjoy the city and soak it in at your own pace. Alternatively you could check out Lucca.

My suggestion would be:

1. from the ship take a taxi to the train station. If no taxi is available right at  the ship,  which may happen, take the shuttle service  (I think it costs between 5 and 10 EUR pp), to exit the port, as you cannot walk out of the port by yourself. At the shuttle stop outside the port you will definitely find taxi that can take you to the train station, and on the way back from the train station you will find taxi just outside to take you all the way to the ship.

2. You can purchase the ticket at the train station. See below for some sample schedule, your ship departs at 8:00 pm so as long as you are back around 6 pm you will be OK. Train strikes do not ha[ppen suddenly and will be announced days in advance.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON TOURS FROM LIVORNO 

The small group tours you booked require a minimum of 6 participants to be confirmed. In case they do not get confirmed I can offer the following large tours alternatives (by GT bus), both with a return on time guarantee. Please note that there are no other low cost available alternatives offered by anybody. The only alternative to see Le Cinque terre from Livorno is either the tour offered by the ship or a private tour (just for the 2 of you for EUR 900 total).

11/01 Civitavecchia (01 Nov 0645-2000)

YES - Best of Rome Shared Shore Excursion € 150.00 = 25 deposit (paid) + 125 cash balance per person. Confirmed 

• Skip the lines Colosseum tickets € 40.00 p.p. PAID Your reservation number is #318935773. See here for reservation details.

• NOTE on Colosseum tickets:. In case of any issues, please call their  hotline: +390699313360. You will receive the actual tickets directly to your email (amyfred1@gmail.com) and to your whatsapp messages, 24 hours before the entrance day. Once you have them, on the day of the tour at 10:00 AM simply walk to the Colosseum entrance. Bring with you the tickets (the email or text message will be OK) together with a copy of your passports. You will have a total of 1 hour of time at the Colosseum stop.  Always keep a paper copy of your passports with you. 

• Note on Pantheon Tickets: the shared tour provider in Rome, they say they cannot guarantee a certain time slot for the Pantheon stop, and therefore you can only see the inside by purchasing the ticket on site. That may have a long line, but you have a decent chance with cash.  It has been reported that the line for people paying cash is often very short.

• Purchasing options (only for private tours)

  • Pantheon tickets cost EUR 5 p.p. and can be purchased online here (this is the official site) only one month in advance. Tickets can also be purchased on site but I am not sure what the line may be like. 

  • alternatively as the Nov 1st tickets may go on sale right on November 1st, you can try to buy them at this reseller. I would not be surprised if the reseller would have to wait until Nov 1st to deliver them to you.  The Pantheon used to be free untill recently,  so things are still not at all smooth. Worst case scenario, check the official site  while you are driving  on the way to Rome (the driver would likely be able to give you his hotspot), or try getting in line for cash purchase. I will ask the driver how much time you have there and at what time would you need the tickets for.
