We can depart from Livorno Port (just outside your cruise), Pisa city or Lucca city.
Admire the monuments of the ancient Etruscan town of Volterra on this full-day tour from Pisa, Lucca or Livorno. You’ll see the impressive Roman theatre, the Piazza dei Priori, the Palazzo Pretorio, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the city walls, and the Medici fortress.

Volterra boasts incomparable works of art and architecture that bear witness to its 3,000 years of civilisation. From many parts of the town, you’ll have views of spectacular landscapes.

Mainly built of stone, the town’s walls and the massive Medici fortress are visible from far in the distance. Volterra’s mysterious atmosphere inspired the writer Stephenie Meyer when she wrote her romantic fantasy novel, New Moon, which was the basis for the famous Twilight Saga.

See Etruscan, Medieval, and Renaissance courts, and stop to visit the traditional shops of alabaster and local crafts. You’ll have some free time for lunch (not included) and to discover the town on your own.

Afterwards, the tour continues with a panoramic stop in front of San Gimignano for a great picture. From here we will reach the village where you can spend free time in order to visit it. The ancient, narrow streets remain much as they were built long ago. The fortress and towers are unique sights you must see.

Optional (on request at the reservation time or after your reservation, you need to let us know if you want it or not): We will stop at a winery in the Tuscan countryside to taste a range of Chianti wines.
