Itinerary
Get ready for a one-of-a-kind journey where historical heritage and natural wonders come together in a tour filled with beauty. Hop aboard your comfortable, fully equipped luxury coach, and let’s set off for the world-famous Cinque Terre.
Upon arriving in La Spezia, follow your expert tour leader, who will guide you through this incredible adventure. With their instructions and tips, board the train that will take you in just five minutes to the first stop of our splendid tour: Vernazza.
Here we are at the first stop of our journey. In Vernazza, take some free time to stroll through the charming, narrow streets of the town center. Wander through the alleys of this quaint seaside village and let yourself be enchanted by the magic hidden behind the pastel-colored houses that define this marvelous destination. Breathe in the fresh sea breeze as you take in breathtaking views.
The second stop on our tour is Monterosso al Mare, the largest and perhaps the most vibrant of all the villages in the Cinque Terre National Park. Known for its expansive sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, Monterosso is a favorite destination for those seeking relaxation and scenic beauty. Wander through the quaint streets of the old town, lined with boutique shops, local eateries, and traditional Ligurian houses. Take time to savor some local specialties, like pesto alla Genovese or anchovies from Monterosso, which are a delicacy of the area. Whether you’re lounging on the beach, exploring hidden alleys, or enjoying the local flavors, Monterosso offers a perfect blend of relaxation and authentic Italian culture.
The final stop of our tour will be Pisa, a city world-renowned for its historical and artistic heritage. Here, you'll have the chance to visit the famous Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, the impressive Cathedral, and the beautiful Baptistery. Explore these architectural masterpieces at your own pace and capture unforgettable photos with the Leaning Tower, one of Italy’s most recognizable symbols.
Stroll through the city's most famous square and let yourself be captivated by the timeless beauty of its monuments.
Admire the beauty of one of Italy’s most iconic symbols. Take the opportunity to snap some photos and, why not, climb the tower! Your tour leader will be more than happy to provide all the information you need to make the most of your time in the city and fully enjoy its wonders.
Relax on the comfortable, air conditioned bus after your incredible day of exploration and beauty. You will arrive back in Florence in the early evening.

Traveler reviews
Tour guides nice but tour too large
The two guides were very good. It must have been hard to keep everyone together as it was a very large group. Perhaps too large. We missed our train stop because we were in another cabin. We made it back however, if the group was smaller, we would not have missed our stop. The driver seemed a little grumpy. Also, may I suggest that you include water free as part of the tour? The guides were acknowledging that it was very hot and trying to sell the waters for the driver. It was a little tacky. Looks like you combined the English and Spanish tourists together so had to repeat everything twice in both languages. I thought we paid for an English tour. Again, your was too large.
Not bad but could have been better
Cinqueterra was beautiful but it would have been better if we had the option of reserving an umbrella and sun bed ahead of time at Monterosso. Very crowded beach and got a swimmers rash. But otherwise a fun experience and kids saw lots of snails and small marine life at the first port. We would have gladly skipped Pisa but it was nice to check this off the list - probably won’t ever feel the need to go back.
Love it!
Loved everything about it, the guides, the towns, all of it ❤️ The little towns you visit are so unique and a great experience. You could just stop in one on this trip and stay there or go with the group. Regardless they say the train is optional but it’s not. Purchase the train tickets in addition to the tour it is all worth it.
Beautiful day trip
Chiara and Teresa were great! They led us safely to each spot and had clear meeting points. They made sure the whole group was present throughout and they were so kind and funny. They also gave local recommendations for things to do and places to eat after the tour. Also, cinque Terre was stunning and totally worth it! Pisa was a marvel to see as well!
Great tour of Cinq Terre and Pisa
Our guides Teresa and Chiara were so knowledgeable and helpful! They provided so much information about each of the sites we saw! We loved the tour - especially the stop in Cinq Terre! Great way to see all these places if you only have one day. Pace was fine and we had time to enjoy each stop! Would recommend!!
