Highlights
  • 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 45 minutes light hike, 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.
  • Monterosso - The next stop brings you to the town of Monterosso, the largest town among the Cinque Terre. Here, you will enjoy free time to wander around the charming town and to taste the delicious flavors of the Ligurian cuisine.
  • Monterosso public beach (Fegina) - You will still be able to enjoy free time in Monterosso and relax in Fegina beach, the most stunning beach of Cinque Terre. Along the promenade you’ll find restaurants, pubs and ice-cream shops. So, the choice is entirely yours!
  • Pisa - Your day will continue beyond the splendors of Cinque Terre as you embark on a captivating journey to the renowned city of Pisa, home to the world-renowned Leaning Tower and many other architectural wonders.

Worth the money - This was a great tour you basically just get the bus and the train covered. The tour guides give you information in between stops, which is really nice. We learned about where marble was extracted the history of Cinque Terra, A little bit about Pisa and other things on our way. The tour was completely worth it as a train ride from Florence to Cinque Terra is about the same price as this tour. they introduce you to the city and give you about two hours of free time which isn’t enough, so I ended up booking a full day back. It’s worth the money!!! The tour guides were also very helpful and amazing at what they do!

Great time - Nathan was great. Had an amazing sense of humor. Was helpful even gave great tips and recommendations. His jokes made the bus ride pass fast. Getting the lift to the Piza is offered and I highly recommend it. Thank you Nathan for having that connection. Thanks from NY

Perfect taster of Cinque Terra & Pisa - Trip was amazing! Plenty time in each place. Our guide Ornella was fantastic. I would recommend getting the meal deal in Monterosso. Food came out very fast and gave us plenty time to go swimming afterwards. The first bathroom break was about 3hrs after the start time of the tour so I would keep that in mind! Bring €1 for nearly every bathroom.

Good if you are limited on time - If you are limited on time and just want to see everything then this is a great trip but you don’t really have enough time to explore everything. The tour guide, Nathan, was very knowledgable and happy to answer questions throughout the day and made sure no one was left behind when boarding trains at busy times.

SCARY for an attractive solo woman with disability - This wouldn’t let add the photos. I had a horrific and scary experience. The tour guide was very nice however there was a hostile man on the tour who was aggressive to me and out of spite had me REMOVED from the tour halfway through! I have a disability I was very clear about. I was DUMPED OFF AT A TRAIN STATION ALONE CRYING AND BEGGING NOT TO BE LEFT IN THAT STATE! I ended up in an EMERGENCY ROOM LATER IN PISA!!!!! I collapsed from stress and dehydration and warned the tour guide this would happen! He did not protect me and my rights as a customer and it ruined my entire trip! Lost thousands in hotels and flights! So angry I want a full refund and credits for future travel. This app would not let me upload photos of me being dumped at train station and emergency room! I am a single woman who is 100 lbs attractive and has broken ribs and finger traveling alone! This is totally unacceptable and in the US this would be a huge liability! You cannot kick people off 12 hour tours because people don’t like you-it’s discrimination! Very scary experience I would like an executive or manager to reach out ASAP!
