Your Itinerary

Montecatini Terme

Make the most of your time in Cinque Terre... Meet your tour guide at Piazzale Italia, in Montecatini, under the clock tower of the station. Find your seat on the comfortable coach bus, sit and relax, and prepare to depart for your journey to the nearby coastline! The drive to Cinque Terre will take about two hours. Throughout the drive, your guide will entertain you with plenty of interesting information about the famous views and villages on the way, as well as Cinque Terre and what to expect upon arrival. If you have any questions, your guide will be there to assist you.

Stazione La Spezia Centrale

After about two hours, you will arrive in La Spezia, the closest city to Cinque Terre. Here, your bus driver will drop off the group at the train station. Your guide will lead the group through the small train station, and your group will get on the first train to Manarola. The train takes about ten minutes, and then you will arrive in the stunning coastal town!

Manarola

Manarola is an ancient fishing village famous for its brightly colored homes and pristine white wine! Enjoy marvelous views of its sparkling blue sea, the impeccable homes stacked upon each other, and the green grapevines towering in the distance. Your guide will happily point out the best viewpoints for photos (Manarola is very famous on Instagram, its views are incomparable!). You will have about an hour of free time to explore this picturesque town as you please.

Vernazza

From Manarola, your guide will lead you back to the train station to head to the nearby town of Vernazza. The train will take less than ten minutes, and then you will have about 1 hour of free time in this lovely waterfront town. Make your way to the small, picturesque harbor, also called "the Pearl of Cinque Terre." If you are lucky, you will witness the local fisherman arriving back from their morning fishing in small blue boats. Enjoy the characteristic (and famous) views of Vernazza's emerald water and colorful homes. Spend some time strolling through the ancient streets smelling of fresh focaccia and pesto. If you need any recommendations, your guide will be happy to help!

Monterosso al Mare

The train ride to Monterosso will take about ten minutes. When you arrive, your guide will give plenty of recommendations for how you can spend your time in Monterosso. This historic fishing town is most famous for its wide, white sand beaches with crystal-clear water. Spend some time exploring the ancient town and indulging in some pesto pasta or delicious seafood for lunch. Then, find a spot on the pristine coastline to relax under the sun, take a dip in the incredible sea, and take some memorable photos! You will have three hours of free time in Monterosso.

Riomaggiore

Meet your guide at the small pier in Monterosso, and they will lead you to a boat. Find a comfortable seat and enjoy a journey of about forty-five minutes by sea. The picturesque boat ride will allow you to see the towns of Cinque Terre from a waterfront perspective... the incredible views from the bright, blue sea are unforgettable! When you arrive at the natural port of Riomaggiore, you will be welcomed by more brightly colored homes stacked on striking cliffs. Enjoy about an hour of free time to explore the beachy alleyways, purchase any last-minute artisanal souvenirs, and admire the lovely views. When it is time to depart, you will see the sun starting to settle and what seems like gold flakes over the sea, as small boats pull into the port after their days at sea.

Stazione La Spezia Centrale

Your train back to La Spezia will take less than ten minutes. Follow your guide back to the bus, where you will depart for Montecatini.

Montecatini Terme

Relax on the comfortable, air conditioned bus after your incredible day of exploration and beauty. You will arrive back in Montecatini in the early evening.

Hello-Our trip was with Reko the driver and Frederica to cinque terre and 4 other towns all by train -Lunch was included -I just wanted to say how AMAZING our tour guide Frederica was and her driver Reko! He drove superbly on those crazy narrow roads way up to Cinque terre with great ease! My friend and I didn’t get off where we were to meet for lunch and Frederica guided us back -She was so cool about us making a mistake! She was the best! This company is very fortunate to have a guide who loves her job and it shows! Thx Frederica for making our first trip to Italy AMAZING!

Boat ride was disappointing! Too much in one day. Lunch was very rush .. good mediocre and the service was terrible!’

Picture postcard. Looked exactly like the pictures showed it. We loved the story of how the hoses became painted the different colors and how blue the water was. We shopped the quaint shops and ate gelato. One of the highlights of our trip to Italy.

Despite traveling with 79 other people, we received very good service from our tour guide Sebastian.

It was a long day but we saw 4 of the 5 Cinque Terre towns! So beautiful and each charming in its own way. Loved taking the train (with locals!) and seeing the sights. Roberto kept us organized and I was impressed with the level of communication prior to the day.

The bus was over 15 minutes late at the pickup and was filled with folks that boarded in Florence and few seats for my friend and I. 71 people on a tour with one guide is ridiculous!! Shame on you! We learned nothing and guide was just there to tell us what time to come back to catch the next train. Very disappointed.

The company packed 70 people onto the bus. I felt like I was being herded! Even though the towns are interesting the tour leaders never said a word about them. It was so crowded that we never really got to enjoy them. Even though we had been looking forward to going I wish I had done it on my own so that we could have spent more time in each town.

Excellent guides. Very organised. Kept to time. Had a lovely trip but would have been better if the boat trip was earlier in the tour
