Cinque Terre Full-Day Trip from Florence

This one-day excursion to the Cinque Terre from Florence is the ideal way to explore the Ligurian coast without having to worry about hire cars, parking or train timetables. You’ll set off in the morning from the centre of Florence in an air-conditioned GT coach, accompanied by a multilingual guide, heading for one of Italy’s most famous landscapes.

Once in the Cinque Terre area, you’ll begin the tour in Manarola, known as ‘the pearl of Cinque Terre’, where you’ll have free time to stroll through the village, enjoy its romantic views and take your first photos of the colourful houses overlooking the sea. You’ll then continue on to Riomaggiore, another charming fishing village, perfect for getting lost in its narrow streets, sampling local specialities and taking in the breathtaking views over the crystal-clear sea.

Depending on the option you’ve chosen and sea conditions, you’ll board a panoramic boat from Riomaggiore or the designated area to Vernazza, enjoying a unique view of the coastline, with the villages perched on the cliffs. In Vernazza, you’ll have time to relax, browse the craft shops or have a drink before continuing. The final stop will be Monterosso, where you can buy local specialities and, above all, take the opportunity to have a swim in the Ligurian Sea if you’ve brought your swimwear. At the end of the tour, you’ll return comfortably by coach to Florence.

During the booking process, you can choose from various excursion options, tailored to your preferred level of service:

• Excursion with transport only: includes coach transport from Florence to the Cinque Terre area, ideal if you want to explore the villages on your own afterwards.
• Excursion with transfers, train and boat tickets: includes coach, trains and a panoramic boat to travel between the villages without having to buy tickets separately.
