This day tour from Florence takes you to the Cinque Terre by bus, with three itineraries to choose from. Join a small group of up to 30 to visit all five Cinque Terre villages with a coastal hike of about 1 hour 30 minutes from Corniglia to Vernazza, or visit the three villages of Vernazza, Monterosso and Riomaggiore without hiking and then continue to Pisa. There is also a transport-only option to La Spezia for exploring the villages on your own. Enjoy colorful houses, terraced vineyards and sea views, and swim in the sea if the weather is good.
Meet your guide in central Florence and travel to La Spezia by comfortable bus. Along the way, your guide introduces the history and culture of the Cinque Terre. From La Spezia, you continue to the coastal villages by train. Departure from Florence is usually between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m.
The five-village hiking option starts in Manarola, famous for its colorful houses and terraced vineyards, then continues to Corniglia, perched high above the sea. From Corniglia to Vernazza, hike with your guide for about 1 hour 30 minutes along a coastal trail with views of terraced vineyards and olive groves. Then visit Monterosso, with its beaches and shops, and Riomaggiore, the southernmost of the five villages.
The Pisa option skips the hike and gives you free time in the three villages of Vernazza, Monterosso and Riomaggiore for harbor strolls, photos, cafés or swimming, followed by a visit to Pisa. With the transport-only option, travel by bus to La Spezia and explore the Cinque Terre villages by train on your own (train tickets purchased separately).
