Florence: Cinque Terre Small-Group Day Trip

Discover the Cinque Terre on a day trip from Florence, exploring the picturesque villages of Vernazza, Monterosso, and Manarola. Departing early helps us beat the crowds, ensuring a more rewarding experience in this increasingly popular area. Enjoy a scenic boat ride from Manarola to Monterosso, savor free time in Vernazza, and admire breathtaking coastal views.


After driving through Tuscany to Liguria, stop first in Manarola. Take in panoramic views with spectacular photo opportunities, and explore narrow alleys and pastel squares. Optionally, sample renowned local wine at a cozy wine bar (own expense).

Following Manarola, meet your tour escort at a prearranged time for a shared boat ride to Monterosso. While on board, marvel at the dramatic coastline framed against the hills.

Stop in Monterosso and enjoy free time in this charming village. In summer, don't forget your swimsuit!

Reach the village of Vernazza next by coastal train. With a wide-open harbor, castle, and church, Vernazza invites you to stroll through the back streets or relax at an open-air restaurant for lunch (own expense).

In winter, from mid-November to late March, there is no boat ride, and Monterosso is replaced with Corniglia, another picturesque village. After a memorable day, return to Florence.
