Guided tour of Tuscany, Le Cinque Terre

Departure in the morning with our driver for your unforgettable excursion of these five exquisite seaside Italian villages: the so called Cinque (five) Terre. Admire some of the most beautiful costal landscapes of Italy as you make your way through Cinque Terre. Your tour will begin with a drive to Riomaggiore, the first of the five towns. Here you will have time to independently explore the village and its charming streets and pastel houses, by the way our driver will take you to the center of the small village and give you all the suggestions you may need.

 

 

You will have the option of walking to the next town via the famous “Way of Love,” or you may choose to travel by train or by boat - remind that these are the only way to travel between the Cinque Terre area as cars are banned! - Once you arrive in Manarola, you may freely explore the town. Be sure to venture to the top of Mararola where you will see the church whose bell-tower once served as a lookout for potential pirates. You may visit the remaining towns at your own pace by foot or by train. Perched high above the sea and surrounded by vineyards, Corniglia is considered to be the quiet town of Cinque Terre. Enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and stunning views of the sea before you visit Vernazza. Explore the delightful streets and enjoy the views of the beautiful natural harbor.

 

Your final stop will be Monterosso, a town divided into old and new sections. Be sure to visit the 16th century lookout tower in the old section. From the beach in Monterosso you can see a beautiful view of all five towns that make up Cinque Terre. After a wonderful day of sightseeing, your driver will meet you in Monterosso and transport you back to Florence. If requested (..but we believe is unnecessary) you can have a local tour guide during the day.
