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.

5.00A really great day! 'Queen Elizabeth' and Johnny or bus driver were fabulous, even the drive to Cinque Terre was filled with bonus sightseeing tips. Elizabeth's communication with our group was impeccable and instructions were clearly communicated. The views were spectacular and she even showed us some fun photo ideas at the leading tower of Pisa! A fabulous day that I'd highly recommend.

5.00This tour was amazing, well worth the money! My friend and I had a great time sight seeing. Elizabeth was a wonderful tour guide; very informative, helpful, and a joy to be around! The length of the visit was great. We were given enough free time at each stop to explore, eat, and check out the gift shops. We definitely recommend this day trip!

5.00Elizabeth was our guide, and was the absolute best!!! I can’t say enough positive words about this trip. The trip was magical. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. Elizabeth was organized, and explained everything perfectly. If you’re on the fence about taking this trip, don’t be. It’s a priceless adventure for a very affordable price!!!

5.00brought my mum to Italy for her birthday, and this tour ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Nathan was absolutely brilliant, so humorous and entertaining, but also incredibly knowledgeable about the areas we were passing through. He shared interesting facts without it ever feeling “too much,” and he made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. A special mention for his photography tips, they genuinely made a massive difference, and the quality of our photos improved so much because of his guidance. Highly recommend Nathan if you want a tour that’s informative, memorable, and full of laughs!
Great day with Elisabetta!

5.00I did this tour with Elisabetta, she did great and managed to translate everything to us from english and spanish. She was clear, kind and willing to help. I would recommend doing a trip with her. Cinque Terre is absolutely beautiful and worth to visit. Pisa was also very impressive and a lot of people were very nice! I had a great time.
