Florence: Cinque Terre Full Day Tour

Cinque Terre is an unmissable destination for those who come to Italy, a land between the sea and high rocks, and one of the most romantic and striking spots in the world. Your tour escort will guide you through this picturesque landscape, which has inspired many poets, painters, and writers, and shows you through 3 of the 5 villages that make up Cinque Terre.
You will drive from Florence to La Spezia, where you will meet your local escort and take the ferry to Manarola. Explore this small and beautiful village. Later you will ride the ferry again to visit Vernazza. Walk through the narrow lanes and steep stairways to learn about the structure of this village from your expert guide. Finally, you will catch the ferry to Monterosso, known as the pearl of the Cinque Terre. Embrace the scent of the sea and dive into the crystal-clear waters for a swim.
After your swim, you will enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant followed by a tasting of local Limoncello. Afterward, take the train back to La Spezia, where your minibus will be waiting to transfer you back to Florence after a memorable and informative day in Cinque Terre.
