Full description

Explore the enchanting region of Cinque Terre. Visit four villages in total, suspended between sea and land, seemingly hanging from sheer cliffs and surrounded by hills and vineyards. When you arrive in the small village of Manarola there will be time to explore before taking the local train to Riomaggiore. Enjoy some free time here to walk around and admire the charming streets. Next, take a train to Monterosso, an ancient fishing village considered “the pearl of the Cinque Terre," with its enchanting beaches. Go swimming in the crystal-clear sea and enjoy a traditional light lunch. Continue by ferry to Riomaggiore and Vernazza and experience the intricate layout of this village with its narrow lanes and steep stairways. Continue to La Spezia, where the bus will be waiting to take you back to Florence.

Ride in an air-conditioned bus, trilingual, very nice tour guide, punctually. Arrivals and departures. Little information about the 5T, in the villages you have free time. Great boat trip off the coast. Total we were on the road for 12 hours. If you check a travel guide and explore the villages yourself, you will definitely get away cheaper!

This tour was a bit too rushed...although a couple of the stops were fabulous the other's were very short. The guide was very happy but not as informative as I have had in the past and this is very important to me, It makes the tour so much more enjoyable! Over all I would probably not recommend..too much off and on transportation for very short visits!
