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.

5.00We had great tour guides Nathan and Elizabeth! Alongside Corrais who drove us to La Spiazia and then to Pisa and back to Florence. Everything was well planned with enough time to get very great photos in CinqueTerra and walk around the leaning tower and museums and have some time to sit and enjoy the view.
Amazing tour!

5.00A fabulous day. Cinque Terra is amazing and experiencing the local cuisine, produce and treats was as fabulous as the towns themselves. Such beautiful scenery and lots of time to explore and absorb each location. Pisa was also a great experience, especially climbing the tower. It is much more impressive than I imagined. Elizabeth was the perfect guide and it was probably our favourite day of our holiday so far.
So so experience

3.00It was nice to see other towns and the water but a lot of tourist shops and restaurants primarily. In addition the guide was nice but walked very fast sometimes going down stairs without saying that’s where she was going for us in the back. We couldn’t see her flower we were supposed to be following as she was downstairs!
Relaxing and beautiful tour

4.00We loved this tour as we were able to see the things we wished for. Loved the chat group on app to help guide us with pictures and direction as well as the ear pieces to help . Only thing was our guide was not terribly enthusiastic and didn’t wait for the group to get together when leaving trains before taking off so she was easy to lose. If you are an older couple and have difficulty keeping up it would be very easy to get lost and left behind. Also she did not have her flag up half the tim to help with her location either. Otherwise was great!
Highly recommend!

5.00What an amazing day! Elizabeth our host was wonderful, Cinque Terra is just beautiful and we had ample time to wander around and enjoy the local villages, produce and treats. Pisa was also great and it was fun to climb the tower. A long but highly recommended day tour, even with a family.
We got the "bichinho" of coming back
