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.

4.00There is a lot of walking involved to get to train and bus stations. You must really listen to the guide or you will get lost.
Excellent packed day in Tuscany!

5.00This tour really packed it in. We wanted to do both Cinque Terre and Pisa and this tour delivered given the tight timeframe. There is a lot of walking on this tour so that is something to be aware of. The optional walk is not really optional if you want to see the postcard view at Manarola. I have no idea how Ornella, our guide kept track of all 45 of us, she is a marvel. Great tour if you want to see a lot of the Tuscan countryside and only have one day.
Beautiful day out

5.00Ornella and Draco were the best hosts - we had the absolute best day traversing Cinque Terre and Pisa and learning more about the wonders . Ornella a very knowledgeable local guide and Drago a very safe pair of hands behind the bus wheels. All in all a very enjoyable day that I would recommend to anyone! Thank you.
Incredible Day

5.00It was indeed a very good trip. I enjoyed Cinque Terre area and Pisa. This trip does not take you to all 5 villages, but to 2 of them. I think its okay since I visited in winter and most of the shops are closed. In Pisa, one can see based on availbale time and interest, buy your own tickets to enter church, museum, Pisa tower etc. The tour was planned very well and Dani did a great job to keep us up with time. She created a whatsapp group and kept us all informed of leaving time. It isnt easy to manage such a big group but she did it easily. I recommend to book this tour when in Florence.
Very good tour but a little rushed!!

4.00I thought the tour was great! Even though I booked it in English, I feel like Cinque Terre and Pisa would have been enough! Nathan is an excellent host, and his jokes are really bad, haha!
Very good
