Overview

Explore the scenic Italian Riviera! Discover one of Italy’s most amazing destinations, the unforgettable Ligurian Coast of Cinque Terre, UNESCO World Heritage site. Enjoy scenic views of the 5 ingeniously constructed fishing villages on this private tour from Florence, accompanied by your own guide all day. Between the villages you will enjoy scenic train rides along the Ligurian coastline. A relaxing boat ride is also included between 2 of the villages so you can enjoy stunning views of the Cinque Terre from the water. Wander the narrow streets, admire the colourful houses or take the chance to swim in the turquoise water. A multi-course lunch paired with the aromatic, mineral wine of Cinque Terre will be served in a restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean sea. Cinque Terre remains Italy's most difficult area to cultivate due to unfriendly environmental conditions. Dive into traditional Ligurian food and local specialties, such as seafood dishes and pasta with pesto!

Corniglia

Corniglia which gets its name from the Roman family Gens Cornelia. Is the smallest of the 5 villages and is situated 100 meters above sea-level. To get to Corniglia, you can climb the Lardarina, a 383-step pathway from the train station to the village or you can catch one of the regular buses.

Vernazza is unique in Cinque Terre because of the small port that was built allowing ships to land in the protected bay.

Lunch will be arranged by your guide and will be taken between 12.00pm and 1.00pm. Lunch will include local seafood dishes and fresh pasta as well as a glass or two of local wine.

Highly Exceeded Expectations!!!

Published on Oct, 2024

Our tour guide Kristen Sullivan was absolutely fantastic. She provided a once in a lifetime tour experience for our first trip to Italy. We highly recommend you book the tour anytime you’re in town.

Wonderful experience! Joyful! Hilarious! Beautiful! Our guide Elizabeth was fantastic!!!

Touring Cingue Terre with our (amazing) guide, Elizabeth, was one of our favorite parts of our trip to Italy. To get a guide who is not only knowledgeable about the area, as well as an incredible person, was a gift. From the moment we stepped into the car on our journey, Elizabeth was delightful!!! We loved our drive, because Elizabeth told us all about the area. We instantly felt a bond with her. When we boarded the train to Cinque Terre we felt like we had known her for years. This is something that should be acknowledged and treasured. Having traveled a great deal, this is very rarely the case. We wandered the villages, experienced the extraordinary countryside, shopped, took loads of pictures, had a perfect lunch, and enjoyed one another’s company. It was such a wonderful day. Thank you so much for putting us with Elizabeth! We will be back!!!
