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 walk, 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.

5.00Had a super busy day on coaches and trains with our guide Nathan. The tour is a long day , but the time goes by quickly due to it being full of great sites , views and information. Nathan is super efficient with keeping over 50 people informed and on schedule with all trains and meeting points. His knowledge is not only interesting but he can also make it fun. His recommendations for lunch and dinner ( not included) were also very helpful and good . Can totally recommend this tour and guide .

5.00Our tour was well organized, ran on time with no issues which was amazing since it was raining and we had several bus and train switches between our various stops. No one got lost or got left behind. Our guide Elizabeta made sure we always knew where to take food and bathroom breaks. She seamlessly organized lunches and shuttles and shopping and hikes. We saw two villages in Cinque Terre and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. We took a bus to catch the trains to the villages and back and then on the bus again to Pisa. It was a wonderful day! Thank you Elizabeta and City Wonders!
A really good day!

5.00Elizabetta was an amazing tour guide and Cesare a great driver. Learned so much from Elizabetta about Italia history and culture, and she was very clear with her directions and we never felt stressed or confused on where to go or what to do. Cinque Terre was beautiful and I already want to go back.
Well planned to maximize time.
