Start your adventure with a relaxing 2.5-hour drive through the beautiful Tuscan countryside in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach. Along the way, your guide will share stories about the history, culture, and traditions of both Tuscany and the Italian Riviera as you travel towards the coast. Upon arrival, you'll board a local train and begin one of Italy's most scenic rail journeys, winding between dramatic sea cliffs, colorful fishing villages, and breathtaking Mediterranean views as you explore the spectacular Cinque Terre coastline.

Arrive at the gateway to Cinque Terre and board a charming local train for an unforgettable journey along Italy’s spectacular coastline. Travel past dramatic cliffs, sparkling Mediterranean waters, and colorful hillside villages as you make your way through one of the country’s most iconic landscapes.

Your first stop is the postcard-perfect village of Vernazza, often considered one of the most beautiful of the Cinque Terre. Famous for its colorful pastel houses, charming harbor, and dramatic seaside setting, Vernazza is a place where every corner feels like a picture postcard. Wander through its narrow medieval streets, discover hidden piazzas, and soak in breathtaking coastal views from the waterfront and surrounding viewpoints. Whether you're photographing the famous harbor or simply soaking up the relaxed atmosphere, Vernazza offers an unforgettable introduction to the magic of Cinque Terre.

Continue to Monterosso, the largest and liveliest of the Cinque Terre villages. Enjoy free time to wander through its charming streets, discover local boutiques, and experience the flavors of Ligurian cuisine. This is also the perfect place to enjoy lunch at your leisure. If you prefer, make the most of your included train ticket and independently visit another picturesque Cinque Terre village, such as Riomaggiore or Manarola, before returning to Monterosso.

Enjoy free time in Monterosso and unwind at beautiful Fegina Beach, the most famous stretch of coastline in Cinque Terre. Stroll along the lively promenade lined with cafés, restaurants, pubs, and gelato shops, or simply relax by the sea and soak in the stunning coastal scenery—the choice is entirely yours.

End your day with a visit to the iconic city of Pisa, renowned for its remarkable architectural treasures. Explore the magnificent Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to some of Italy's most celebrated monuments. Enjoy free time to wander the square, admire its extraordinary architecture, and capture memorable photos before continuing your visit.

No visit to Pisa is complete without seeing one of the world's most famous landmarks. Admire the iconic Leaning Tower up close and capture the classic photos that have made it famous around the globe. Guests may also choose to climb the tower (tickets not included, subject to availability) for spectacular views over Pisa, and your guide will be happy to share recommendations to help you make the most of your visit.

Sit back and relax on the comfortable coach journey back to Florence, reflecting on a day spent discovering the colorful villages of Cinque Terre, spectacular coastal scenery, and one of Italy's most iconic landmarks.
