Description

Embark on a memorable day trip from Florence to the breathtaking Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage site on Italy’s Ligurian coast. This guided tour lets you immerse yourself in the charm of five iconic seaside villages, with the flexibility to choose between a scenic hike or a more leisurely exploration.

Your adventure begins in central Florence, where you’ll meet your expert guide before a comfortable two-hour coach ride to La Spezia. Along the way, enjoy fascinating insights into the history and culture of the Cinque Terre, setting the stage for an unforgettable journey.

Upon arrival in Manarola, join a guided stroll through lush vineyards before exploring the colorful streets at your own pace. Continue by train to Corniglia, climbing up to the village center for panoramic views. Here, opt for a guided hike to Vernazza or relax and take the train instead.

In Vernazza, savor the local atmosphere at a café or dip your toes in the sea before traveling to Monterosso, known for its inviting beaches and artisan boutiques. Weather permitting, board a scenic boat along the coast to Riomaggiore, the southernmost village, where you can soak up authentic Italian fishing village life.

After a day filled with discovery, you'll return by train to La Spezia and then journey back to Florence. The tour includes transportation, guided walks, train and boat tickets, while meals and personal expenses are not included. Secure your spot now as this popular Cinque Terre experience fills up fast!
