Private Tour
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Head to the coast for a day in Italy’s Cinque Terre on a private (this is not a shared tour) 10-hour trip from Florence. Listed as a UNESCO site, the region is made up of five charming fishing villages that cling to the cliffs. Visit Manarola, Vernazza, and Corniglia, and travel between them by boat or train. In each village, you’ll have time to wander the streets, browse local shops, eat, and soak up the sea views. The tour itinerary is designed to achieve the most from you day and as much as possible we are ready to customize it to meet your expectations. If you want to visit Pisa on the same trip, upgrade when you book.

Overall the experience was fantastic and our driver, Nunizo was great! However, there are a few things to know that was not clear in the itinerary. (1) The town stops were different than specified (and this was actually a blessing); our stops were: Manarola, Vernazza where we had lunch, and Monterosso. Monterosoos was not on the initial itinerary but was actually all 8 of our parties (from the US) FAVORITE and everyone agreed we wished we HAD ONLY stopped at this town. (2) The private tour is not a "drop-off" off to each town... you must take either the train or the ferry to get to each location, which is actually nice, yet it takes a significant amount of time away from (about 30 mins between each) enjoying the towns. The ferry cost was $15 for the first and $10 euro for the second ferry. (3) The beach area and more relaxed/less busy but clean and more updated town was Monterosso (which was not on the tour itinerary). Sadly, when we arrived via the ferry we didn't have but 15 mins (not the 1.5 hrs that is stated) to enjoy the cute shops, etc. (4) The added stop to Pisa was well worth it rather than making it a separate day (not a lot to do at this location other than a very difficult to get cool photo opportunity). The driver was awesome to get us super CLOSE so we didn't need to walk a lot. OVERALL a fantastic tour ... but would RECOMMEND for anyone else doing a private tour to just do the town of MONTEROSSO ... if you want to add a ferry tour to see the charming towns from the water see which is easiest and only do two towns.

This was great private tour. Can't say enough about our tour guide Tomasso. He was great. He showed up on time and did an excellent job of providing a wealth of information along the way and while in Cinque Terre. Highly recommend this tour.

This was our second experience with this tour company both of them exemplary experiences. Today was the women of our family including the matriarch “superboss”, Luca was their guide. They had lunch at a wonderful restaurant on the water in Verranza and then proceeded to Monte Rosso. Luca was exceptionally accommodating to their shopping schedule which delayed their return. It was another terrific day in the Cinque Terre!

The normal Cinque Terre is less ambitious and for most this is appropriate but for our group of all guys we wanted to hike. To the credit of our guide Tomoso and the tour company, they allowed us to customize our tour and helped us craft an agenda to suit our interests. It was a great day in the Cinque Terre!
