Description
Discover a true Italian coastal paradise on this semi-private tour. Experience the best of Cinque Terre and Pisa in one unforgettable day.
Depart from Florence in a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan or Sprinter, heading to the stunning Ligurian Riviera. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to this unique region, known for its seaside vineyards, ancient villages, scenic trails, and panoramic views.
Inside the Cinque Terre National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997 — you’ll visit a selection of its most picturesque villages, perched on cliffs and surrounded by terraced vineyards. Explore the villages on foot and, weather permitting, enjoy a scenic boat ride along the coast for a completely different perspective from the water.
Take a light panoramic hike along quiet vineyard paths above the sea, away from the crowds, and immerse yourself in natural beauty and local tradition. Learn about the region’s heroic viticulture, including the use of steep monorails to harvest grapes from nearly vertical slopes. Enjoy free time in one of the villages — perfect for a swim, shopping for local products, or tasting authentic Ligurian specialties (lunch not included).
In the afternoon, continue to Pisa, where you can explore Piazza dei Miracoli at your own pace, admire its striking architecture, and capture the perfect photo of the Leaning Tower of Pisa (tower tickets not included).
This full-day semi-private experience ensures you make the most of your time, offering a seamless blend of scenic coastline, charming villages, vineyards, and medieval landmarks — all in comfort and style, with a knowledgeable guide to enhance every step of your journey.
