Meet your driver-tour escort and small tour group at the Piazza della Repubblica in central Florence. Board a comfortable tour vehicle and depart for Cinque Terre, a collection of five postcard-perfect fishing hamlets that hug a rugged coastal stretch of the Italian Riviera.

Travel through Tuscany and into the Liguria region for your initial stop in the village of Manarola. Pause for fantastic photo ops of the coastline and the cerulean ocean beyond, then stroll through the narrow alleys and quaint squares of the town itself, one of the oldest in Cinque Terra. Sip a glass or two of the region's famous wines at a charming local wine bar (own expense). 

Departing Manarola, meet your tour escort at a prearranged location to board your boat to Vernazza. During your scenic boat journey, sit back and view the coast gliding by with rolling hills as the backdrop. 

Go ashore in Vernazza after cruising through the picturesque open harbor. Use your free time to walk around, visit the village's castle and church. Stop at one of the many waterfront restaurants for a traditional Italian lunch (own expense).

Following your time in Vernazza, climb into a tour vehicle for a drive through picturesque Corniglia before returning to your starting point.

Our trip was fantastic and especially because of our driver Jonathan Paci. Ask For Johnathon if you choose this tour. He speaks many languages and speaks English very well and Frendly. He is also extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited. This was also a private tour. He was the very best and Cinque Terra was beautiful.

This tour is amazing and I recommend it to anyone looking to see the area of Cinque Terre. The meeting point is centrally located and easy to get to. Our guide, Giacomo, was awesome. The small group tour is a definite plus. The free time at each location was a plus too. I highly recommend taking this tour.

Incredible Experience with an Excellent Guide

What an incredible trip! Our driver Gianni was kind, knowledgeable, and a master at navigating the roads through busy Firenze and windy Cinque Terre. We were in a small group and ultimately it almost felt like a private tour. Cinque Terre is well worth the visit with the beautiful landscape and charming shops. This tour made it easy, filling it with fun memories and great conversation. I could not recommend booking this trip with Gianni enough! Ask for him, he’s the best!

Our guide Yaris Baldinotti proved to be an extraordinary communicator throughout our tour in Cinque Terre. Yaris provided a geographical, historical, social and economic framework for us to understand and enjoy the nuances of the territory. Yaris ensured all our needs were met at all times (from transportation to additional information and more) highlighting his performance with much charm and chivalry. Overall, Yaris’ practical understanding of his role as representative of Italy’s culture and history in his role of travel industry professional was impressive and outstanding. We learned and enjoyed everything while traveling through the beautiful sites of this area.

GREAT TOUR!
KATHRYN_W
, Nov 2019
We loved this tour! We went on this tour to have a more personal experience than a large bus. There were only two other people on the tour, and Jonathan was our excellent guide. He was very proficient in English and provided a lot of interesting information. He was extremely knowledgable about the areas we travelled through, from history to geography to food. Cinque Terre is an amazing area, just like you see in pictures! The weather was very rainy and foggy, making it less desirable to see the usual number of villages in Cinque Terre, so Jonathan suggested we make up for it with a visit to Pisa, which was such a great addition to the day. We would highly recommend this tour; the extra cost was worth it! Thank you again to our guide!

An exceptional touring experience

The morning of the tour, we learned the trip to Cinque Terra was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions - know that all trips there can be cancelled when there are hard rains in that region. Our guide, Giacomo, offered instead a tour of towns in Tuscany - and I’m so glad we agreed. He put together a fabulous itinerary that took us first to Piazzale Michaelangelo where we could snap pictures of Florence. Then onto San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and Siena. He made reservations for us at a wonderful restaurant in Siena and dropped us off at the door. We ended the day with a late afternoon tasting at Monteranaldi Winery. The cities were all amazing - each a different look at the beauty of Italy. Giacomo, though, made the trip very special. He shared his unending historical knowledge of the cities and people throughout the tour and included guidance for us on what to see in each city. He even stopped at each city’s visitor’s bureau and picked us up maps to use on our wanderings. We did have to sit in a traffic jam on the way back and the van had some mechanical issues, but the tour group sent another van to pick us up and delivered us back to Florence. These things happen. Thank you, Giacomo - we’d tour anywhere with you again.

Great way to do a first visit to Cinque Terre. Leonardo was our driver and we were 3 other couples that we did not know. Van fits 9 and is comfortable enough. Leonardo was very knowledgable and willing to share information. We were impacted by some weather issues which Leonardo worked around to ensure we were still able to enjoy the experience. Much easier, and safer, than driving yourself. Definitely worth the time and cost.

Magical Place, Wonderful Tour

James was our tour guide. We had a small group, 8 people, so we drove the 2 hours to Cinque Terre in a nice van that was comfortable. James pointed out interesting attractions and gave us a lot of facts about the area on the way down and back. We visited three of the five gorgeous fishing villages that make up Cinque Terre. Breathtaking views all day long, of the lush mountains and the sparkling Mediterranean. Fabulous day. Complementary gelato!

Booked the small group tour which was the best way to go. Total of 8 of us went with our guide, Francesco. It took awhile for him to warm up to us, but once we all stopped talking and started asking him questions he was very knowledgeable and helpful. The day went well, the only disappointment was that the weather did not permit the boats to operate but then we got to experience the trains. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a day trip to Cinque Terre while in Florence.

Beautiful views not for the physically unfit
Kathy S
, Oct 2019
Of our tours this was my husband and my least favorite tour, but our traveling family members favorite. So here is why. First for me.. this was a small group tour 8 people, in an 8 seat van it was a long 2 hour ride. Second you basically have a driver and not a guide. So you get dumped from town to town with no real idea of what to see and where to go. I prefer guides where along the way you learn about the area. My sister in law however... LOVED IT. She and her husband are avid hikers and loved the challenges of the terrains. As a person of average physical fitness this tour was not challenging for me, but if you have any physical issues Cinque Terre is probably not for you. To sum up my feelings, I am so happy we did this just for the amazing views. But probably not on our list of places we would return too. My in laws however are already planning a trip back to stay here and hike the trails.
