Full description

Depart Florence early in the morning and transfer to the Ligurian coast by air-conditioned coach. Cross 2 of Italy’s most scenic provinces as you pass the rolling hills of Tuscany for Liguria.  Upon arrival at Cinque Terre, transfer to the public train and travel up the coast for breathtaking views of the villages. The first stop of the day trip is the picturesque town of Vernazza. Enjoy some free time wandering by the fishermen’s boats docked daintily by the beach, colorful homes peppering the scenery, and an old house looming on the horizon. Continue by train to Monterosso, the largest town of the Cinque Terre. Wander around the charming town on your own and stop to taste the delicious flavors of Ligurian cuisine.

Go on an optional 45-minute-long light hike through the stunning scenery of Cinque Terre. Let your tour leader guide you through the terraced vineyards and ancient olive groves with spectacular panoramic views.

After the hike, return to Monterosso and relax at Fegina beach. Stroll along the promenade and stop to refresh yourself at one of the many restaurants, pubs, and ice cream shops. Then, climb aboard the train to Manarola and enjoy views of the tiny harbor, full of colorful boats and vibrant natural formations. Take your time to stroll around the area on your own and discover this beautiful village.

Highly recommend! Antonio is a great guide - knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We spent the perfect amount of time in each village. This is our first time in Italy and the trip to Cinque Terra has definitely been a highlight!! Took sooooo many pics. Enjoyed the company, scenery, gelato, delish lunch, lemoncello spritzers. Would we do it again? Heck yes!!!

Smooth meetup, checkin and transport to all locations on tour itinerary. Three villages was enough to visit. Ample free time was provided per village to explore. Short hike up cliffside in Manarola was less than 30 minutes for an optimal view of the village. There was time left to swim here or at Monterosso. Lots of seafood to enjoy in all villages, from snack shacks for fried anchovies, calamari, shrimps and fries. Or sit down restaurants. Antonio was a great guide. Attentive with reasonable local recommendations that were not tourist traps. Thanks Antonio for the fantastic day!

It's an incredibly unique part of Italy which is why it is a UNESCO World heritage site and our tour guide, Jessica was fantastic! We covered Vernazza, Monterosso and Manarola where Jessica also took us on a light hike with breathtaking views. I highly recommend this to all!
