We will pick you up from your accommodation in Florence by 6:45 am. Our driver will normally be at your address by 6:30 am. We will then drive to La Spezia harbor which will take approximately 2 hours. NB: If you do not provide a pickup location for your private tour, our default meeting point is: Borgo Ognissanti 70, Florence, Italy.
Your journey begins with a direct drive from Florence to La Spezia in private transportation. From La Spezia harbor, you'll board a ferry bound for the Cinque Terre. Based on time, weather and other conditions, your experienced guide will determine the best order for visiting the villages.
Vernazza is unique in Cinque Terre for its small port, built to allow ships to dock safely within the protected bay. Here, you can visit the beautiful church of Santa Margherita in the main square or explore the Tower of Castello Doria, which offers one of the most stunning views of Cinque Terre. Lunch will be arranged by your guide and served between 1:00 pm and 1:30 pm. The meal will feature local seafood dishes, fresh pasta, and a glass or two of local wine.
The northernmost of the five villages is Monterosso al Mare, the largest out of the five coastal villages. The village is located on hills cultivated with lemons, vines and olives.
Once all three lands have been seen, you will take the ride back to La Spezia harbour.
Enjoy the ride back to Pisa for a stop to admire the famous leaning tower.

Elizabeth provided great service and personalized attention throughout our tour. Enjoyable day. Interesting sights.
Thank you Steven! So glad you enjoyed your tour and we hope to see you again soon! Cheers!
What an amazing day! I highly recommend this day trip from Florence. The drive is interesting, even able to see the massive marble quarries along the way. The ferry ride to the fishing villages of the Cinque Terre was great - amazing views of the coast. Lunch was included at a local restaurant and I cannot say enough good things about it. The wine was also excellent. The stop in Pisa should not be skipped. Our guide was outstanding! She was knowledgeable of the areas and extremely personable. I highly recommend booking this day trip from Florence.
Thank you again for choosing to go on multiple tours with us and to leave us such great reviews. We enjoyed our time with you just as much as you did with us! We are looking forward to your return. Cheers!!
We had the most lovely day visiting three villages of Cinqe Terre and seeing Pisa. Our guide, Elizabeth(and Johnny came along) was amazing! They were both so friendly and personable, we felt like we got to know them as people and really enjoyed hearing about their experiences living in and growing up in Italy. Elizabeth navigated the driving, ferry’s and train very well, and was very knowledgeable about the area. All of the stops and scenery were breathtakingly gorgeous! At the restaurant we enjoyed one of the best lunches we’d had in Italy so far! It started raining during lunch and never stopped, but it didn’t dampen the mood or our experience at all. We bought ponchos and continued exploring and shopping in the villages. Elizabeth and Johnny remained cheerful and jovial through the rainy stop in Pisa and we all enjoyed gelato after seeing the tower. We packed a lot in 13 hours but it was 100% worth it!
Thank you so much for this outstanding review. We really do appreciate it and we take pride in offering a wonderful experience for our guests. We love what we do and it seems to show! Please come back and visit again! We enjoyed the day just as much as you did!
It was amazing! Elisabeth showed us the most beautiful places, the view was breathtaking! Beautiful pictures taken! Highly recommended!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed your tour. Come again soon!
Beautiful sites, unbelievable history, all with a great guide! We were physically unable to traverse some of the hills and steps so our guide, Angel, modified the experience for us. He was amazing and so was the trip. So happy we went!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. It was a great day and we hope to see you back for another tour with us!
Wonderful tour with amazing scenery. It was a full day from 7AM till 9PM. Beautiful place to visit but be prepared for lots of walking and lots of steps. We did over 5 miles and 30 flights of stairs. The lunch we had was fantastic. Would recommend this tour.
Thank you very much for the time in writing a review that will help other customers to know a paradise like Cinque Terre. We are very happy to see how our work is appreciated. Best Regards. Enotropea Team.
We had an AMAZING guide, his name is Johnny. Fortunately for us we had him to ourselves that day. He was with us every step of the way and we couldn’t have done it without him. Everything was set up by him and went very smoothly, the trains, boat & lunch which was delicious. He took us to 4 of the Villages and explained everything, answered questions and was very interesting. Cinque Terre was absolutely beautiful more than I could have imagined. It was our most expensive tour but well worth the money.

Nicole was amazing during this trip. Would highly recommend tour. Figuring out trains and times would have been a nightmare. So thankful for Nicole.
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We are very happy that you enjoyed your tour with Nicola. He sends his regards and hopes to see you again. Best wishes,
My wife and I took this excursion as part of our Florence visit. It was a pleasure in all respects. Our group leader, Johnnie, was friendly, informative, and did a tremendous job of coordinating our tour, we would ask for him again for future tours. Cinque Terre is very hilly, be forewarned, a lot of walking involved. We are in our 70's, Johnnie was more than accommodating in letting us walk at our own pace. Due to weather, we were not able to take the boat trip, but the four towns we were able to see more than made up for it. The train was a pleasure moving from town to town. Lunch was perfectly arranged and delicious. The small group format was absolutely worth the price, highly recommended.
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We are very happy that you enjoyed your tour with Jhonny. He sends his regards and hopes to see you again. Best wishes, Enotropea Team
This is the way to tour! We had an amazing guide - Angel (but of course he was an angel) He was so informative and shared tons of information as we drove from our hotel and to the train for our adventure. We saw 3 of the 5 towns and had lunch. The entire experience left us very delighted and educated. We were well cared for and highly recommend Angel and his company for your own experience.
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We are very happy that you enjoyed your tour with Angel. He will be very happy to see this wonderful review. Angel sends his regards and hopes to see you again.
