Itinerary
Tour leaves from Florence city centre in the early morning , to reach Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre
The Cinque Terre are a rugged stretch of coast of the eastern Ligurian Riviera (La Spezia Riviera) located in the territory of the province of La Spezia, between Punta Mesco and Punta di Montenero, in which there are five villages (three municipalities and two hamlets) or, as they used to say in ancient times, "lands", which listed from north to south are: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore.
Levanto
The town of Levanto is of ancient foundation, nestled in a valley covered with olive trees, vines and pines and directly overlooking the sea. In case of Transfer Only option this is the drop off point, where you can start your tour by your own. The ridges of the valley end in the sea with the Mesco promontory and the tip of Levanto. Part of its territory also falls within the Cinque Terre National Park and the Cinque Terre Marine Protected Area.
Manarola
In Manarola, can relax by bathing in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, taste typical products in the local shops or wander around this small fishing village part of a territory declared a UNESCO heritage site
Riomaggiore
Riomaggiore, like the other Cinque Terre, is squeezed between the Ligurian Sea and the steep mountain range that detaches itself from the Apennines at Mount Zatta and descends in a south-eastern direction, acting as a watershed between the Val di Vara and the coastal area. The historic center, whose original nucleus dates back to the 13th century, is located in the valley of the Rio Maggiore stream, the ancient Rivus Major from which the village takes its name
Vernazza
Vernazza is the second of the towns that make up the Cinque Terre, in a bay between the municipalities of Monterosso al Mare and Riomaggiore. It also includes the subsequent village of Corniglia, a fraction of it.
Monterosso al Mare
Monterosso al Mare is at the center of a small natural gulf, protected by a modest artificial reef, to the east of Punta Mesco on the La Spezia Riviera. It constitutes the westernmost part of the Cinque Terre.
Come back in the evening at the same point in the city center

Better one than five
Beautiful places without enough time to get to know them. You walk a lot following the guide. You go from one train to another... The guides seem to be on autopilot. Maybe it is better to get to know just one of the 5 towns but with more time and dedication because they end up looking all the same.

The whole tour was dragged out by complicated travelling and waiting time for the next travel step.

Cinque Terre long but fun day.
It is a long day but a great time to see beautiful small towns on the water. Steep climb much of the towns so be ready. My wife and I are in good shape so not a problem. Many were having a tough time. Our guides were nice and pleasant but average. Accent was tough on this tour too understand for some in our group. Loved to places we visited. They did leave one of that was on the itinerary. Big problem was we were all told don't be late we will leave you. But a couple missed the train and we waited 35 mins for them at the bus. No physical limits to the couple so just didn't pay attention. Then we had to have a bathroom stop off the toll road for someone. Early an extra hour. Just let us all know the schedule is a suggestion not something we must adhere to.
