What To Expect

Florence

Sit back and relax as we take a 2.5 hour ride via comfortable, air-conditioned coach. Your guide will entertain you with tales of the area as you cross two regions: Tuscany and Liguria. Both are rich with history, cultures and traditions that deserve to be told. Upon arrival, you’ll be escorted to a quaint and comfortable local train. Enjoy the journey along the coast line, breathing in the fresh sea air and admiring a view like no other.

Manarola

Then it is “all aboard!” as you are taken by train to the charming town of Manarola, characterized by its narrow streets and small square looking out over the sea. It is so picturesque it will seem like you’ve stepped into a Renaissance painting. But it is entirely authentic, we assure you. If you want to make the most out of this Cinque Terre experience, we also offer an optional 45 minutes light hike, for those who want to see the stunning mainland and coastline scenery from a different perspective. Let your tour leader guide you through the terraced vineyards, the ancient olive groves and the spectacular panoramic views that will stay in your memories forever.

Great experience! A lot of walking and we moved from place to place quite quickly, but we got to see everything. The views nd history were spectacular. Our tour guide, Tabatha, did a great job keeping track of a large group and making sure we stayed on pace. We even had time to swim at Monterossa

The tour, views, food, and sea were amazing! Highly recommend Elisabetta as a guide! This is a great way to see 2 towns in Cinque Terre and Pisa in one day.
Fast walkers could make this combined trip worthwhile.

This was a combined Pisa and Cinque Terre trip. I had expected our trips to CT to include the places shown on photos on the viator add but we seem to have picked the less than desirable of the five towns; Manarola and Monterosso. I would have been quite happy with just Vernazza. The trip felt rush and i would suggest a bit more guiding from Ricardo around town instead of drop off and on your own.
NAthan Smith made the trip entertaining!

Nathan Smith did a good job explaining everything along the way of what to expect: from the bus ride to the port, the walk to the train station, the train ride to cinque Terra cities. His explanations and stories during the trip. His videos make the trip entertaining. The time schedule for the where to meet , etc. The bus ride to Pisa, and the tram ride f/ the parking back and forth to the tower. If you are into group tours to save money just to experience quickly Cinque Terra and Pisa due to limited time this trip is worth it. WE normally do private tours, but this trip saved some money to check out these key spots for a day trip away from our Florence Hotel. Other wise if you have more time, I would spend more time in Cinque Terra and the small towns, if your time allows it. I wouldn't do the restaurant ( and the meal) the tour company recommends, there were positively better places to go to eat. BUt that depends on your time to investigate and to try to fit it in the limited time they give you in the city. I would recommend this trip if you plan to not spend an arm and a leg to try to fit in 2 key spots from Florence for a day trip. If you have a MUCH bigger budget and more time, I would consider a private tour.

Excursion with Dani and Lorenzo was fun and entertaining. Our guides took us through Manarola and Monterossa. They were the quintessential colorful towns I've imagined through pictures the sea cities in Italy. So picturesque.
