Itinerary
Get ready for a one-of-a-kind journey where historical heritage and natural wonders come together in a tour filled with beauty. Hop aboard your comfortable, fully equipped luxury coach, and let’s set off for the world-famous Cinque Terre.
Upon arriving in La Spezia, follow your expert tour leader, who will guide you through this incredible adventure. With their instructions and tips, board the train that will take you in just five minutes to the first stop of our splendid tour: Vernazza.
Here we are at the first stop of our journey. In Vernazza, take some free time to stroll through the charming, narrow streets of the town center. Wander through the alleys of this quaint seaside village and let yourself be enchanted by the magic hidden behind the pastel-colored houses that define this marvelous destination. Breathe in the fresh sea breeze as you take in breathtaking views.
The second stop on our tour is Monterosso al Mare, the largest and perhaps the most vibrant of all the villages in the Cinque Terre National Park. Known for its expansive sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, Monterosso is a favorite destination for those seeking relaxation and scenic beauty. Wander through the quaint streets of the old town, lined with boutique shops, local eateries, and traditional Ligurian houses. Take time to savor some local specialties, like pesto alla Genovese or anchovies from Monterosso, which are a delicacy of the area. Whether you’re lounging on the beach, exploring hidden alleys, or enjoying the local flavors, Monterosso offers a perfect blend of relaxation and authentic Italian culture.
The final stop of our tour will be Pisa, a city world-renowned for its historical and artistic heritage. Here, you'll have the chance to visit the famous Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, the impressive Cathedral, and the beautiful Baptistery. Explore these architectural masterpieces at your own pace and capture unforgettable photos with the Leaning Tower, one of Italy’s most recognizable symbols.
Stroll through the city's most famous square and let yourself be captivated by the timeless beauty of its monuments.
Admire the beauty of one of Italy’s most iconic symbols. Take the opportunity to snap some photos and, why not, climb the tower! Your tour leader will be more than happy to provide all the information you need to make the most of your time in the city and fully enjoy its wonders.
Relax on the comfortable, air conditioned bus after your incredible day of exploration and beauty. You will arrive back in Florence in the early evening.

A short but but well organized tour. We stopped in Vernazza and it was gorgeous. Then up to Monterosso. Both were accessed by train. I think this actually made things easier. Pisa was nice but the parking is a long way from the piazza. I really enjoyed it.
Michele did a great job navigating the roads and taking special care of the riders. Roberto made sure the entire group was accounted for. He gave good information at each stop and made sure everyone know when and where to meet. The walk from the bus to the Pisa tower was a little long, I enjoyed the day even though it was really windy.
A great way to check several boxes of your "gotta see" places just outside of Florence. There was ample time to see things in the three stops. Our guide Roberto and our Driver Michele were awesome diplomats and we really appreciated their service
Our guide Alex was fantastic! Took me and my wife to Cinque Terre and Pisa and gave us the best day in Italy. Great stories, great photos, and so much heart. If you want a real, stress-free experience, book with Alex ♥️🇮🇹💚
Our guide, Alex, was great. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and had a great personality. We enjoyed our day trip and highly recommend. The meeting spot was not something you could walk to and somewhat inconvenient.
We had a great trip to Cinque Terre with Terre as our guide. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and managed the trip in a highly competent manner. The location was beautiful and Giovanni drove with care and precision. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Great tour guide Tere. She was so knowledgeable and provided so much historical information about the places we visited. She spoke to our group and made an effort to get to know us during the day. She also spoke Spanish to accommodate a Spanish speaking couple while she switched to English for the rest of the group. She was very punctual and kept us all safe during the train transfers. Good coordinator and time keeping to get us back to Firenze that evening. Driver Giovanni was very efficient and drive us safely to and from our places of interest. Thank you for a fun and memorable tour.
Cecilia was very helpful and nice.
Fantastic day trip! Leone is a fun, knowledgeable guide!
Gorgeous countryside along the Mediterranean Sea!! Very knowledgeable, pleasant and patient tour guide. Thanks Antonio!!! Highly recommend!!!
We had a wonderful day with our tour guide, Tere! She was energetic, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and stories behind each attraction. Everything went smoothly, and the tour bus was also very clean and well-maintained. Thank you for such a great experience and beautiful memories!
Great Experience. See everything. They get you there without issues and then free time to explore. John was amazing and informative.
Cecilia was an awesome tour guide. She kept our day running smooth & could speak multiple languages.
The conducted tour to Cinque Terre and pisa was very good. Our tour guide Antonio was very good and helpful. We covered two villages in Cinque terre viz. Vernazza and Monterosso and saw the Unesco sites in Pisa
Antonio (Tony) and Giancarlo was amazing! Very friendly and knowledgeable! The overall experience was the best!
The bus parked quite far from the destination causing a long walk in. The guide did not wait for slower people. Several times we lost sight of him. The free time was adequate. The guide gave little information about the sights we passed. I feel the money spent was far more than the value of the experience. I would not recommend this tour.
Roberto was an excellent guide. A highly organized, knowledgeable, entertaining and articulate historian who efficiently shared with us all history, highlights and secret shortcuts.
Great experience with our lead tour : Roberto and driver Fanel on our 18 October 26 trip to cinque terre and Pisa
Our guide Roberto was very knowledgeable & kept our group engaged throughout the whole day … yet gave us space to relax on our own time. His teammate Fanel ( driver) was very professional too. A police car stopped the bus to do a random check on the driver. He was very professional , provided all the paperwork , stayed calm & collect. They were a great team to guide us !
Thank You Roberto our Tour Leader and Fanel for the smooth ride. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone. The whole day tour was pleasant and fun. The food and Lemoncello was also very good ( we choose to buy lunch with them)
The experience overall was fantastic. It was smooth sailing. It was a group of 17 people and it’s the perfect number group of people. The length of visit was a day worth and the admission fee was worth the transportation and the guide Anna explaining the history of each location. The setting was very lively
Anna was a great tour guide and made sure that everyone was able to catch up with her. She helped booked us a table for a restaurant in Cinque Terre. Highly recommend! The tour itself was fun and was able to take some pictures and bought some souvenirs. I highly recommend booking this one day tour if you are new in the city.
I loved Anna she was great. Good bus driver felt very safe. I think one improvement instead of walk to Pisa a golf cart or that train tram we saw would be better
Smooth arrangement, on time schedule, tour guide helpful
Very nice arrangement and Anna is a very good and responsible guide! We enjoyed so much!
My husband and I took the Pisa/Cinque Terre tour from Florence and it was exactly what we were looking for. The information before the tour started was exactly what we needed - clear timing, meeting point, details, etc. When we arrived, it was very organized and we were divided into the right group and onto the bus within a few minutes. Our guide, Sara, was very well organized and had great energy. In addition to sharing information with us in person, she also shared it in a WhatsApp group, which was a great reference point (and a great place for reminders and to ask questions/get clarification, if needed). I especially appreciated having the transportation coordinated and having a quick 5 minute overview at each stop, but then given a good amount of time to explore on our own - exactly what we wanted in a tour. She handled our bilingual tour beautifully and seamlessly -- which was especially impressive as I have been on bilingual tours in the past that were quite difficult for all involved. You can tell she is passionate about her profession and enjoys sharing her country and culture with those on her tours. And a shout out to Mario for being a professional, skilled driver - great job navigating the narrow roads with a motorcoach!
What a fabulous day! Sara did such a great job of providing us with all the information we needed before each step of the tour. She shared valuable information that enhances our day. She was clear in her instructions and made sure that everyone's visit to Cinque Terre and Pisa was exactly what they wanted. Sara is one of the best tour guides I've ever had. Bravo Sara e Mille Grazie. 🇮🇹🫰🏻💕
My daughter and I went on the Cinque Terre and Pisa tour and it was wonderful. The driver, Mario, was very professional and a great driver, always taking us on time and efficiently. The tour guide, Sara, was very organized, clear and easy to understand, knew how to engage the group and make everyone laugh. She really knew how to light up a room and also made sure that everyone had all the information. The use of the whatsapp group was great because it made it super easy to reach out and ask a question, either to Sara or to the entire group. The tour was very well timed, and for the time of the year it was perfect. We would have like that train tickets and transportation to Pisa tower to have been included in the price. It was an unnecessary complication.
Sara our tour guide was absolutely amazing. She made our experience the best tour ever. I highly recommend this tour. The most memorable part was Montessori and Cinque Terre.

We were not able to get into the cathedral because the next available time was too late. I'm not sure what could be done to ensure entry to the cathedral.
Camilla was an awesome guide! Super responsive and helpful!
Loved this Italian adventure day! Grazie. :)
Anna was very nice. Well organised and kept our group well entertained and on time. She was very clear with he explanations and timetables. I highly her.
It was very-very great guide !!
Great tour with freedom to explore on your own at attractions sites.
Anna was a great guide. She was very patient with everyone. We enjoyed our time in Cinque Terre and Pisa
Our guide, Virginia was great! She was very knowledgeable and friendly and the whole experience was smooth, enjoyable and very well planned.
Gorgeous views of the Mediterranean Sea and the beautiful little villages of Cinque Terre. Our guide, Lorenza, was spectacular. Loved Pisa, as well. The marble structures of the cathedral and the Leaning Tower were stunning. It was a long but fabulous day.
Lorenza was a wonderful guide, she was very knowledgeable and informative. And Valentin - an excellent driver!
Pickup, messaging were great. Guide was also great.
A great experience, Lorenza waa fantastic, very knowledgeable and friendly. Clear explanations and a perfect control of meeting points and time. Our driver Valetin was perfect too, good driving and at an excellent speed. Thank you.
Very organized and thorough tour. Sara D and Antonio were wonderful. Sara was so knowledgeable and passionate about what she was showing us. Friendly and kind and so caring for my friend, Terri. Fun was had by all. These two went above and beyond. We are pleased!
Although the guide was helpful she was not informative at all. Dropped us off at the locations and told us the time and where to meet. We missed seeing the actual Cinque Terre cause we were not told. At Pisa no information was given about the history and any other information. Just told us where to meet. We feel we missed out so much. Would not book this again after spending $250 approximately.
Sara D and Antonio were amazing, made it funny, always on time and plenty of ideas. Totally recommended
Sara D is the best guide. She knows a lot, english was perfect and was very nice and cool.
Everything was amazing! Ana and stefano made us feel safe. Though we were with a group we had a lot of time to explore independently so we didn’t feel restricted! 10000/10 recommend!
Our one day bus and train trip with leader Camille was exactly what was promised. We saw two charming Cinque Terre villages (Vernazza and Monterosso) and Pisa. During our 11-hour adventure, our 50-ish person group rode on a comfortable bus with great air conditioning. The drive through Tuscany and into Ligouria provides good scenery. NOTE: no food or drink is permitted on the bus and there is no bathroom. We took trains to the two seaside towns. They were crowded but comfortable, clean, and fast. We had about 90 minutes in each venue to wander on our own. There's time to take plenty of pictures in each location and grab a coffee or light meal. At Pisa there is a charge to visit the Tower or the Baptistry. The cathedral was free to enter but a timed ticket is required. Check the time on your ticket to make sure you will make it through the line and into the Tower or Baptistry and back to the meeting point. There is one bathroom location and you pay electronically to enter. Things to know: Bathroom breaks are not included so plan accordingly. There is a fair bit of walking from train stations into the towns but the views are fabulous. In Pisa the bus drops you about .5 miles from the walled old town and you walk along busy streets. This is not a guided tour. Basically you get transportation and are expertly shepherded through the process. The meet up point and sorting process is a little hectic and confusing. Probably cause it's at 6:30 am and people haven't had their coffee!
What we loved about the tour: ・ Ana was an exceptional guide! She gave us clear, useful information without overwhelming us. She also took great care of the whole group of around 30 people. ・ The itinerary was very well balanced. At each stop, we had enough time to enjoy the scenery, do some sightseeing, have a meal, and shop for souvenirs without feeling rushed. ・ The group was lovely. Everyone was friendly and easy to spend the day with. We also felt safe and relaxed throughout the bus and train rides, which made the whole day much more enjoyable. ・ We got lucky in Pisa. It happened to be a relatively quiet day, so we were able to purchase tickets on the day and climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Before joining the tour, we hesitated a little about the price, but it was absolutely worth it and offered far more value than we expected. If you’re visiting Florence, I highly recommend taking a little time to venture beyond the city. The scenery, experience and the wonderful guide made it a truly memorable day. We also really appreciated how warmly the staff welcomed us when we joined at the last minute that morning. Thank you!
