Semi-private Cinque Terre tour from Florence with stop in Pisa

A memorable day spent exploring one of the world's most spectacular coastal areas, the famed Cinque Terre, with the privileges of a unique Semi Private experience.

Discover a fairytale-like destination where land and sea meet, led by the knowledge and personal attention of your dedicated private. During our Cinque Terre tour from Florence you will unveil the secrets and authentic charm of the area off-the-beaten tourist path. 

Set amid some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on the planet, le Cinque Terre are five ingeniously constructed fishing villages. A Unesco World Heritage site since 1997 and still today they look very much like a version of a seafront garden of Eden!

Travel in full comfort aboard our comfortable minivan, lay back and admire the scenery: sinuous paths run across stunning cliffsides, and a 19th-century railway line cut through a series of coastal tunnels ferries the footsore from village to village.
Learn all about the Cinque Terre's history and unique feature from your guide: the steeply terraced cliffs bisected by a complicated system of fields and gardens hacked, chiseled, shaped and layered over the course of nearly two millennia. So marked are these artificial contours that some scholars have compared the extensive “muretti” (low stone walls) to the Great Wall of China! And all enhanced by the charming villages - Riomaggiore, founded in the 8th century by Greek settlers fleeing persecution in Byzantium, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Monterosso - which look onto the gleaming pristine waters of the sea. 
Lose yourself in the gorgeous scenery, hike/walk along the famous trails (including the Via dell'Amore - please see notes) and explore a few of the fascinating villages traveling by boat, train and on foot.

In the mood for a swim? Or perhaps you’d rather savor local specialties like pesto pasta or fresh seafood? You’ll have plenty of time to do both at your own pace during your free time of the tour.

Afterward, continue your journey to Pisa and arrive at Piazza dei Miracoli, where you can explore the historic square, admire the cathedral and baptistery, and snap the perfect photo of the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa (tower tickets not included). This combination of coastal beauty, hillside vistas, and iconic Tuscan architecture makes for a truly memorable day trip from Florence.
