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 loved seeing the countryside including plant nurseries and famous rock quarry. People can be pushy getting onto the bus. Sometimes it is difficult for travelers to sit with their group. Very large tour, but tour guides kept us together. Loved Chinque Terre.
Excellent trip!

5.00So much to see, so little time. Central pick up. Smooth ride. Gorgeous views at Cinque Terra and the train rides in and out. Incredible guide (Nathan) and driver (Roberto).
Not happy!

1.00We were very disappointed with our tour and our tour guide. The first stop was rushed and the second stop at Manarola didn’t give us much time either. The best part was Pisa where we had a bit more time. I think the tour should end by 8:30-9pm. And, our guide gave no history of where we were going or what to expect. At the very end when everyone was tired, our tour guide decided to play videos at wouldn’t stop talking, but said nothing of where we had been.

4.00It was definitely a great way to day trip from Florence to Pisa and Cinque Terre. Was def more of an organized transportation than tour, but still great. The guides were great at bringing us to and from. We had Ornella and Nathan…both were great. Some of the other passengers were pushy or selfish…cultural differences I guess. Overalll was a good day with time in each stop!
highly recommended!

5.00We took our mom to Italy and we had an absolutely amazing time on this tour! Our guide Nathan Smith was incredibly knowledgeable and so humorous, making the entire experience fun and engaging from start to finish. He went above and beyond by sharing excellent local restaurant recommendations and giving us fantastic tips on how to take great photos, which made our trip even more memorable. This tour was truly one of the highlights of our visit—highly, highly recommended!
