From Florence: Cinque Terre Day Trip
Escape Florence for a day and discover the UNESCO-listed coastal villages of Cinque Terre on this comprehensive guided tour. You'll visit four of the five dramatic clifftop towns that make up this stunning stretch of the Italian Riviera, travelling by comfortable coach, regional train, and scenic boat between the colourful villages perched above the Ligurian Sea.
Your bilingual guide accompanies you throughout the day, sharing insights into local history and culture while you explore the narrow lanes, terraced vineyards, and historic centres of these remarkable coastal settlements. The tour includes all transport and gives you ample free time in each village to soak up the Mediterranean atmosphere at your own pace.
Starting from either Manarola or Riomaggiore, you'll journey through the sun-soaked streets before taking the regional train to your next stop. The highlight comes with a scenic boat ride to Vernazza's picturesque marina, offering expansive sea views and dramatic cliff perspectives. Your day concludes in Monterosso, the largest village, where you can relax on the sandy beach or explore the local artisan workshops before returning to Florence.
