Illustration of Florence and Tuscany from Civitavecchia

Railbookers offers Florence and Tuscany from Civitavecchia as a 4-day, 3-night rail vacation for travelers coming off a cruise at the port of Civitavecchia, with all three nights based in Florence and accommodation chosen from 12 hotel options across tiers. The first day's train ride into Florence is followed by a guided morning tour of the Accademia Gallery and the Duomo, then an afternoon Uffizi Gallery tour to see works including Botticelli's Birth of Venus, though this tour runs Tuesday through Sunday only. The third day is a full-day small-group excursion into the Tuscan countryside, stopping at Pisa's Leaning Tower, a wine-tasting lunch on the slopes of San Gimignano, and the historic, UNESCO-listed center of Siena. The trip ends with a train back to Rome. With one hotel base for the whole stay and two full days of guided touring built in, it suits cruise travelers who want Florence and the best-known Tuscan towns covered in a short, structured add-on before or after their sailing.
