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.

5.00I 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.
Simply Amazing!

5.00Elizabeth, our guide, was the BEST! She was funny, to the point, made sure we knew the hows, the whys and the when’s… gave just enough information to be informative, but not overwhelming. Pointed out the best recommendations and then let us all decide what we wanted to do! Highly recommend!

5.00Views were spectacular. Our tour leader Elisabeth was an expert in the region and explained us everything about the plan and the information about the places we are crossing on the way as well as the destinations. The bus was comfortable with WiFi and mini bar on board with excellent driver Asan who got us on time to catch our trains every single time. The journey was complicated if done alone but the tour made it extremely tourist friendly. There were a few hikes or walks that the tour leader might suggest, do go on them for the best 5 village views of your life. Would love to visit again in this life
Beautiful Tour!

Logistically Organized Multi-City Day Trip

5.00A full day tour that allowed us to see two cities of cinque terre and pisa. Our guide Elisabetta was very organized and knowledgeable about the cities and the required transportation logistics to get us from place to place. She added us to a group chat that she would give us real time updates on transportation changes and directions for where to meet her. That made it very easy and stress free. Her directions even included pictures with arrows for where on train platforms to go, and where in the train station to find restrooms. She also provided cafe and restaurant names with locations when we stopped in manarola and monterosso. An excellent guide that made the day very easy going, so we could focus on our time in the beautiful cities. I was traveling with my senior parents and booked this for their ease. The trains and bus made it an easy tour for them with light walking. They really enjoyed and did not have a hard time. I would recommend.
A good day!
