You'll fall in love with Italy's prettiest coastal villages on a small group visit to the Cinque Terre from Florence. You've probably heard of the five famous fishing ports of the Cinque Terre. Now's your chance to visit these picture-postcard villages on a personalized small group day trip you'll treasure.
- Day trip (destination A to B)
- Small-group tour by minibus
- Soak up the atmosphere on a walking tour
- Travel by boat and see the sights from the water
After driving through Tuscany into Liguria, you'll arrive in Riomaggiore, the first of the Cinque Terre villages. Here, your driver/guide will escort you on an easy walk along the famous Lovers Walk trail, for magnificent coastal views. You're guaranteed to be captivated by the magic and beauty of the Cinque Terre on this relaxing stroll.
Next, you'll visit Manarola to explore the narrow alleys and pretty pastel squares that epitomize the beauty of the Cinque Terre villages. While you're here, perhaps you'd like to sample the renowned local wines at a cozy wine bar.
From Manarola, your tour continues by boat to Vernazza, arguably the most beautiful of the five villages with its large open harbor, castle and church. Enjoy a relaxing lunch (not included) at one of the open-air restaurants lining the waterfront, or take a stroll through the back streets for splendid views along the coast.
At your final stop of Corniglia, the only village of the Cinque Terre not directly located on the water, enjoy some of the best views of the Cinque Terre, and the opportunity (not included) to taste some of the famous local wine produced in this village since the times of the Romans.
Traveling before May 2012?
After the major flooding that some parts of the Cinque Terre experienced in October 2011, your tour will operate a slight different itinerary until the situation in Vernazza returns to normal. We expect this to be in mid April.
Until then, your tour will replace the visit of Vernazza with the charming port town of Portovenere, that dates back to the first century BC. Your revised itinerary will feature Riomaggiore, the Lovers’ Walk, Manarola, Corniglia and Portovenere. Your boat ride is subject to weather conditions and will take place between Portovenere and Riomaggiore. On occasions when the boats are not operating, this transfer will be by minivan.
