Itinerary
1
Pickup in Florence & Scenic Drive
Your day begins with a private minivan pickup in Florence. As you travel through the Tuscan and Ligurian countryside, your local driver shares practical advice on navigating the Cinque Terre, recommends the best spots for food and photography, and helps you plan your day before you even arrive.
2
Arrival in Cinque Terre – Early Morning Access
Reach the coast early, when the villages are at their most peaceful. Your Cinque Terre Card grants immediate access to the local train network connecting all five villages, so you can begin exploring right away at whatever pace suits you.
3
Free Exploration of the Five Villages
The heart of the day is yours to shape. Move between Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso al Mare as you please — hiking cliff paths, swimming in the sea, tasting local anchovies and Sciacchetrà wine, or simply sitting at a harbor-side table with a long lunch.
4
Afternoon Visit to Pisa
In the afternoon, the minivan takes you to Pisa for a dedicated one-hour stop at Piazza dei Miracoli. Arriving later in the day means thinner crowds and a calmer atmosphere around the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, and the surrounding grounds.
