Livorno what a great surprise!!!!

Zory_M, Dec 2025
We had fantastic time walking the streets of Livorno and learning local history! The meeting spot was very conveniently located right of the cruise shuttle buss drop off spot. The city has incredible story of its humble beginnings! Our guide was very captivating the time flew by quickly!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

it was a pleasure having you on the tour. I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience and found the history of Livorno interesting. Thank you for choosing my services; it was truly my pleasure to be your guide

Livorno is amazing - don't settle for a surface view!

Thomas_G, Dec 2025
Pierino made Livorno come alive for us - without his knowledge, experience, humor and story telling ability we would have only known Livorno as a port town. It is incredibly eclectic, culturally rich, diverse and historic. We are so grateful for this experience - and Pierino.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

I'm so glad you enjoyed this tour which was so pleasant to me too, especially at lunch in the market building, when we talked and had a taste of local food together; and I would like to thank you for your kind words

It was an excellent tour...

Truly Authentic Visit to Livorno with Pierino

Tazuru_P, Sep 2025
An absolute delight from introductory stroll to concluding arrivederci! Pierino is the perfect host/guide for this stroll around the old port town and the new post-WWII city of Livorno: historical highlights, cultural insights and philosophical views shared through an engaging conversation with Pierino while strolling the cobblestone streets of lovely Livorno. A return visit is a must after such a pleasant morning spent in leisurely fashion with an authentic Livornese. Ciao, bello Pierino, and grazie!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

I am so thankful for your detailed commentary, Tazuru. I am very glad you enjoyed my tour in Livorno and it has been a real pleasure meeting with you! Ciao!

Pierino is an absolute gem of a human, best tour guide

Kristy_R, Jul 2024
Who wants to travel all the way to Florence or Pisa just to look at old buildings? Just skip it and spend some time in Livorno instead! We were so fortunate to spend a morning with Pierino. We were super late because of a delay getting the shuttle from our cruise ship but Pierino was so kind to wait for us! It was just my husband and I on the tour so it was a very relaxed experience. Pierino has lived in Livorno his whole life and knows the city inside and out. He has a pre planned route he takes you on which was nice but my favorite part was just asking him questions about Italian life. He speaks approx. 14 different languages, just kidding, only 4 or 5 ;) He probably speaks better English than I do. His intelligence is very obvious and it was an absolute pleasure spending time with him! Very highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear Kristy, your comments are very kind, and it is important to me to know that you enjoyed this tour very much. my best regards

Excellent guide and tour

Carolyn_S, Nov 2023
Pierino was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide for our Livorno walking tour. Being born and raised in Livorno, as well as being a high school teacher provided a wonderful history lesson. He pointed out the old partial remaining walls that were not bombed in WWII as well as the underground canals. It was a fascinating tour. It ended with some of the best espresso and cappuccino in Italy! I highly recommend Pierino. He also does tours in Florence and Tuscany wine tours.

My husband and I went on this tour in early June and it was fantastic! Pierino was wonderful and so knowledgeable. We lucked out and were the only people on the tour. We learned so much about Italy from Pierino, more than any other tour we went on. Highly recommend!

Interesting Italian coastal village

Sharon_G, May 2022
As luck would have it, my husband and I were the only 2 people on the tour of Livorno, and it was great. Pierino was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, who was from Livorno, and gave us a lot of interesting information. We had a lovely 2 hours with him and would recommend this tour for those interested in history

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you Sharon, I'm very glad you enjoyed this tour and had a little time to dedicate to share your feedback with everyone

Una bella esperienza!

Yukiko_F, Sep 2024
Una bella esperienza! Pierino, la guida, è stato molto cordiale e competente. Ci è venuto incontro quando lo abbiamo contattato in previsione del nostro arrivo non puntuale a causa di ritardi nei trasporti, mostrandosi molto disponibile e comprensivo. La visita permette di immergersi nell'affascinante storia di Livorno, facendo apprezzare ancora di più questa città! Consigliato
