Fun day trip! Pick up/drop off was very easy. Our tour guide Yaris was super friendly and shared fun facts throughout the day. If we were to do it again, we’d bring bathing suits and towels to be able to swim, since we went in July and it was a very hot day. We’d definitely recommend this trip to others!

This was a fabulous tour. The towns were lovely, lively and fun. The ferry ride was beautiful! Our driver and guide, Yaris was fantastic. Frindly and kind. Very thoughtful. Knowledgeable and so interesting. This was a great tour and I believe Yaris made all the difference. Thank you for a lovely day!

Full description

Discover the Cinque Terre on a day trip from Florence, exploring the picturesque villages of Vernazza, Monterosso, and Manarola. Departing early helps us beat the crowds, ensuring a more rewarding experience in this increasingly popular area. Enjoy a scenic boat ride from Manarola to Monterosso, savor free time in Vernazza, and admire breathtaking coastal views. After driving through Tuscany to Liguria, stop first in Manarola. Take in panoramic views with spectacular photo opportunities, and explore narrow alleys and pastel squares. Optionally, sample renowned local wine at a cozy wine bar (own expense). Following Manarola, meet your tour escort at a prearranged time for a shared boat ride to Monterosso. While on board, marvel at the dramatic coastline framed against the hills. Stop in Monterosso and enjoy free time in this charming village. In summer, don’t forget your swimsuit! Reach the village of Vernazza next by coastal train. With a wide-open harbor, castle, and church, Vernazza invites you to stroll through the back streets or relax at an open-air restaurant for lunch (own expense). In winter, from mid-November to late March, there is no boat ride, and Monterosso is replaced with Corniglia, another picturesque village. After a memorable day, return to Florence.

We had a lovely day in Cinque Terre! Our guide, Leonardo, was a wonderful guide and so knowledgeable about the area. We had a great car ride there and he gave us lots of interesting information. Once in the cities of Cinque Terre, we were able to enjoy time on our own. Unfortunately, we could not take the ferry because of weather, but the train was just fine! Cinque Terre is a lovely little area! I highly recommend this tour. It was fabulous!
