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.

Great day trip to see many sights.

5.00We had a lovely day trip from Florence to visit Cinque Terre and Pisa with Elisabetta and Massimo. This is a great trip to see many things in one day. We got to spend time at two of the villages of Cinque Terre. One was a quicker stop where you could take some beautiful photos. The other village stop was longer and allowed us to explore and sit down and have some lunch(one of the best pastas of the trip!) . Also had plenty of time in Pisa to see the famous leaning tower and got to access the Cathedral. Had time to wander and grab a coffee too. The bus we took was comfortable and air conditioned. Elisabetta made sure to give us all the info for the trains we took together and kept us informed with a WhatsApp message group. Elisabetta was fabulous and gave so much great facts and information and was just lovely. Would love to take another of her tours again when we are in Italy. Would reccomend this tour, it was fantastic!
Great tour of two amazing sites

5.00We had a great tour of Cinque Terre and Pisa! It's a lot to fit into one day but we were very happy to visit both sites. Our tour guide, Nathan, was very good. He shepherded the group expertly through the trains and at each site visit. Would definitely recommend.

5.00Nathan was a fantastic guide who shared more gems about the places we went or passed through beyond what the trip covered. He made recommendations on places to eat & things to do that were very helpful. He kept us on time & ensured no one got lost by providing frequent updates on the WhatsApp group. We enjoyed the trip despite it being a cloudy low visibility day. Taking those pictures in Pisa was a hoot though :-), good luck. It did not make sense why eating on the bus is not allowed especially when it is equipped for it & being an all day trip. Overall, we had a good time.

5.00Cinque Terre & Pisa day tour was exceptional. Though time constraints limited us to Manarola and Monterosso, the experience surpassed expectations. Manarola’s cliffside charm and Monterosso’s sandy beach provided perfect contrasts. In Pisa, the Leaning Tower, Baptistery, and Cathedral’s intricate details left a lasting impression. Special praise to Guide Ornella (knowledgeable & engaging) and Driver Giuseppe (reliable & safe). Their professionalism transformed a tight itinerary into an effortless delight, saving me planning headaches. Highly recommended for efficiency and charm. 5/5!
Guide made the difference

5.00The trip is very well managed. Manarolla is the cute settlement on the cliff, while Monterossa is more of a commercial resort. Pisa is far more amazing than can be imagined from the pictures. Its presence gains from the tilt. Our guide, Ornella, was the one with the beautiful attitude. She made all the difference.

5.00The places visited are beautiful, but Nathan, our guide, made this tour, a total pleasure. He is a cheerful, humorous and very professional man. With lots of little tips and advice he made everything easier. The design and organization of this tour is excellent. Go on!
Plan ahead for bathrooms

1.00Orderlla should not be in this line of work, and you couldn't understand her. Make sure you plan ahead for bathrooms as there are none on the bus and you have to pay at the train stations.
Trying to keep up with a guide on a very nice tour

4.00It was sometimes hard to keep up with a Guide and it was confusing at times. Changing trains was often confusing and quick. What we saw was fantastic, but there was a lot of changing and moving around.
Nice excursion

4.00There is no stop in Vernazza. The stop in Monterosso is a bit long for lunch because it is a tiny village. The driver Massimo and the guide Ornella were very friendly.
