Are there coach tours leaving Livorno for Tuscany.
Livorno is in Tuscany. I'm sure you could get a tour or just a public bus to many other places in Tuscany. Where do you want to go? Or do you just want a fairly comprehensive tour? Do you want a day tour or something longer?
Yes.....we do need to know how long you have to visit in order to advise you properly.
But I wonder, perhaps, if you are asking about daytours of Tuscany which run from the cruise port? These certainly exist, although I suspect the majority are private tours e.g.
http://www.tours-italy.com/shore_excursions-florence.htm
and therefore not a cheap option (the cruise's own excursions may be cheaper).
We arrive at 7am in the morning of 11th July 2011 and leave at 8pm.
We were looking for a halfday or a bit longer to see Tuscany. We went to Florence and Pisa on our last trip so its more of the Tuscany countryside and things of interst there.
Thank you

The private tours I have seem are way to expensive for us. We were hoping we could join a bus toour, not neccessarily from the portr. I'm sure we can get onto town by taxi or bus.
We were hoping for a 4 to 6 hour tour of Tuscany counrtyside and places of interest
Cheers

I'm afraid I have not come across the type of tour you describe.
Livorno is a cruise port, so its services are inevitably tailored to cruise passengers. The vast majority of these will, I think, want to see Pisa, Florence etc.
You could easily get the train to Lucca, which is a lovely town to explore, or perhaps elsewhere. If you have a map of Tuscany to hand (or look at google maps) you could perhaps visit a smaller place and do some walking from there?

The best period to come to Livorno is during "Venice Effect", a holiday that takes place the first week of august: the historical centre, built on islands and full of canals, becomes a great tehatrical, musical, ethnical performing scene, and all the streets are full of stalls, little restaurants, lights and atmosphere. When I'm away I miss the incredible sunsets on the sea, full of orange, red and pink.
usually tourists, if they go, they walk around the oldest part of Livorno called Venezia, with all these canals. . note that canals are also in other sides of the city, like this one, called Zona Buontalenti. I love the colors of the buildings
Livorno has plenty of old churches dotted around the place, although I only went inside one. I remember one church looked as if it had just survived a bomb attack...the building to the side had been blasted, and bits of wall crumbled into rubble, but the church itself seemed to be still in tact. Then of course there is the Duomo on a busy square, the Armenian and Greek churches on a busy shopping street, and a synagogue as evidence of Livorno's Jewish past.
About a kilometre further on I came upon the full complement of arrangements for sea bathing and sun baking.
More sun baking than bathing.
There were sandy beaches with parasols and deck chairs. There was a swimming pool. There was this flight of stairs. Not sure of the point and purpose of them.
But saw two people stretched out like lizards on them. Really scarey stuff! Trying to cook themselves into a huge dose of skin cancer.
A Hungarian had told me that because there isn't a hole in the ozone layer that the sun doesn't burn you as much in Italy. Not like in Australia.
And I must say the little bits of my skin that were exposed didn't frizzle as much as they would have in Australia.
It was hot. But the sun didn't feel vicious.
Still, better safe than sorry.
