Highlights

Make the most of one day on the Ligurian coast with a fully organized Cinque Terre experience from Florence. Visit Manarola, Vernazza, Monterosso and Riomaggiore while the day’s main logistics are handled for you. Travel by air-conditioned minivan with Wi-Fi and spend the day with an English-speaking tour leader. Train tickets between the villages are included, so you can focus on exploring instead of coordinating multiple connections. When weather, docking and sea conditions allow, enjoy a coastal boat ride for a different view of Cinque Terre. Choose the lunch-included option for a more fully arranged day, or the lunch-excluded option if you prefer to explore local restaurants independently. With four villages, round-trip transport from Florence, train tickets, a tour leader and a possible coastal boat ride all coordinated in one itinerary, this full-day experience is designed to make Cinque Terre easier, smoother and more rewarding.

About Florence

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.

The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.

Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
