Spend a full day exploring the Cinque Terre from Florence: marvel at the beauty of the five little pastel-colored villages surrounded by a stunning landscape. These villages are located on the rugged Italian Riviera coastline, so you can cruise along the coast by boat and stop for a swim and for a delicious seafood lunch at a local restaurant.
Cinque Terre is an unmissable destination for those who come to Italy, a land between the sea and high rocks, and one of the most romantic and striking spots in the world. Your tour leader will guide you through this picturesque landscape, which has inspired many poets, painters and writers, and show you through 3 of the 5 villages that make up this corner of paradise.
You will drive from Florence to La Spezia, where you will meet your local guide and take the ferry to Manarola. Explore this small and beautiful village before taking the ferry again to visit Vernazza. Walk through the narrow lanes and steep stairways and learn about the structure of this village from your expert guide.
Finally, you will catch the ferry to Monterosso, known as the Pearl of the Cinque Terre. Embrace the scent of the sea and dive into the crystal-clear waters for a swim. Afterward, you will enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant followed by a tasting of limoncello. You will then take the train back to La Spezia, where your minibus will be waiting to transfer you back to Florence after a memorable day in the Cinque Terre.
