Have you heard of the Cinque Terre? Are you thinking to go from Florence to Cinque Terre? So you deserves our Tour Cinque Terre from Florence or Tuscany.
The Cinque Terre towns are five coastal magical villages, nestled in a mixture of Nature and Culture whose visit will energize you.
The Cinque Terre villages, or five lands, a "UNESCO world heritage site", is a coastal grouping of five medieval fisherman's villages just north of Tuscany close to the city of La Spezia that were built on a coastline cliff overlooking the sea perched between the cliffs and the mountains covered with maritime pines and Mediterranean vegetation.
The whole area has been declared a Protected National Cinque Terre Park and is famous for its breath-taking sea-views, the unique colored architectures of the villages and enchanting landscape that have been chanted by poets and painted by italian masters.
The territory of Cinque Terre is also the result of a thousand years of work by peasant farmers who transformed the steep cliffs into fertile terraces for the cultivation of vines olive grooves and other crops, a landscape made and maintained with hard work and passion that you can discover walking along the steep cinque terre trails.
There are several different possibilities you can chose for your Le Cinque Terre tour and we will be glad to tailor your experience.
Two suggested examples of our Cinque Terre tour, of about 10 hours, starts from your hotel or accommodation in Florence where your driver, fluent in English will pick you up in the morning.

1st Cinque Terre Tour option: He will drive you to the first Cinque Terre village called Riomaggiore. You will walk down to the ancient marina, surrounded by medieval dwellings survived in spite of their location on the cliffs. You can choose to use three short Cinque Terre boat ride or a train to pass from the first village to the nexts: Manarola, Vernazza and Monterosso where your driver will be waiting for you to collect you and drive you back along a very spectacular road.

2nd option: Alternatively we can propose to drive you directly to the second Cinque Terre Village Manarola, you can explore the town and get a single ticet to reach Vernazza the 4th village where you will enjoy your lunch. After lunch you can walk up at the top of the village where your driver will be waiting for you. Soon after you will drive to Corniglia that is the 3rd village and has not a port and a marina but is really one of the cutest and is usually quite.

We can reserve a local Cinque Terre Guide to help you exploring the area, suggesting things to do in Cinque Terre and explaining you the natural resources and history of the park and assisting you along your visit to the different villages. If you are a good walker we can propose a brief Cinque Terre Hiking between the steep vineyards and the bushes.

We can also reserve for you a private Cinque Terre boat tour that will show you the coast and will move from one village to the other.
During the day we will reserve one among the best cinque terre restaurants with spectacular seaview where to enjoy your nice lunch based on the great variety of seafood and taste local wines of "Le Cinque Terre" produced on the cliffs under the sun of the Mediterranean sea.

The views on the Mediterranean Sea, the vegetation, rock formation, scents, colours and sceneries are constantly changing along the Cinque Terre walk making your day outing an unforgettable experience.

During the day you are encouraged to taste the famous "Focaccia" which is typical to the area, the Cinque Terre sweet wine "Schiacchetrà" and last but not the least enjoy a fabulous Italian gelato.
