Good HOHO package for a cruise Port stop

Published on Aug, 2024

This was a good HOHO package to take as a port stop — starting from our pick up from the La Spezia port — to the 2-hour transfer to Florence —boarding the HOHO to go for a quick sightseeing and shopping around Florence — and getting us back seamlessly back to the port to board our ship. Our guide, Lumi, was very nice — and while she was only responsible for us during the transfers — it was nice that she was in the city the whole time to be on hand in case we encountered issues. Special shout out to our Kabayan (Filipino) lady in the HOHO stop who gave us pointers to get down in Stop 10 (Ponte Vecchio), re-board and Stop 14 (Michaelangelo Square) since we had limited time — so we were able to maximize our time.
