Cinque Terre

Cinque terre day trip from Florence

The tour will begin with your private driver collecting you from your hotel in Florence (another custom location in the area can be agreed) with a luxury sedan or minivan, and after 2H drive you will reach Monterosso, the first of the “Five Lands”, namely “Cinque Terre”.

Upon arrival in Monterosso, you will meet your licensed private guide who will lead you through this beautiful town. Your tour will proceed through the narrow pebbled streets, bringing you to the rocky cove surrounded by colorful buildings.

From Monterosso, you will take a train for a short ride to Vernazza. Enjoy the ancient fortress used to protect the town for centuries from pirates and visit the domed church dedicated to Santa Margherita d’Antiochia. The tour will continue with lunch, where you can taste the flavors of the regions.

From Vernazza, you will depart on a boat for Manarola (if sea conditions permit – boat service is suspended during Autumn/Winter season – alternative will be by train). Soak up with the view of pastel villages, the perched town of Corniglia and the breathtaking coastline. The next stop will be the beautiful town of Manarola, surrounded by lush green hills, where olive trees and vineyards have the leading role of the view.

On the opposite side, the crystal-clear water of the Ligurian Sea makes the perfect match with the traditional buildings framed on the rocky shore. You will then reach by boat or train our last stop, the village of Riomaggiore and its picturesque coast-side houses with post-card views. The tour will then conclude with a transfer back to your hotel in Florence or other desired location.

Please note that the towns of Cinque Terre cannot be toured by car! You will visit the different villages together with your private guide by train or boat (boat service is suspended during Autumn/Winter season). Your driver will take you from Florence to Monterosso and then will pick you up again in Riomaggiore to take you back to Florence.

Our day trip to Cinque Terre can be also organized from La Spezia, Livorno, Milan and Genoa.
