We have hired a car and driver from Papillon Service several times to go
from Florence to Livorno and back. I highly recommend them. Their
drivers are friendly, reliable and speak English well. We shared a
Mercedes van with two other couples each time and the cost was less than
what the ship charged and we had much greater flexibility.

Some excellent advice here but I would like to make a small correction.

We were just in Florence and the Church of Santa Croce does charge a small
entrance fee. This is a temporary charge I think to help pay for some serious
restoration that needs to be done.

This I have no problem with and even in the "Free" churches we put something in
the donation box to help defray the cost of maintaining the building and
artwork.

Lastly, I would never take the ships excursion to Florence. Always use a private
service such as this guy. Much better in all aspects.
