Activity itinerary

Florence

Prepare yourself for a truly unique journey where rich history and breathtaking natural landscapes come together to create an unforgettable experience. Sit back and relax aboard your comfortable, fully equipped luxury coach as we set off towards the world-famous Cinque Terre, with an additional stop in the iconic city of Pisa.

La Spezia

Your journey from Florence to Cinque Terre begins on a comfortable coach, where you can sit back and relax as your guide shares engaging stories about the region. Along the way, you’ll hear about the charming Tuscan city of Lucca and its famous native, Puccini, and catch distant views of the renowned Carrara marble quarries. You’ll also be introduced to Cinque Terre and its five picturesque fishing villages—Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Monterosso, and Riomaggiore—that together make up this beautiful national park. Once you arrive in La Spezia, your expert tour leader will greet you and guide you through the next part of your trip. With their clear instructions and helpful insights, you’ll board the train and continue your adventure with ease.

Vernazza

Our first stop of the day will be in the picturesque village of Vernazza. Known for its colourful harbour, narrow streets, and postcard-perfect views, Vernazza is often considered one of the most beautiful of the five villages. Here, you’ll have free time to explore at your own pace—relax at one of the cheerful bars or cafés lining the waterfront, soak in the laid-back atmosphere, or even take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear sea. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience the authentic beauty and coastal charm of this iconic destination.

Monterosso al Mare

After leaving Vernazza, the group will take a short train ride to Monterosso, the largest village in Cinque Terre, famous for its beautiful golden beach and charming artisan shops. Here, you’ll have the chance to relax on the soft sands, stroll along the scenic promenade, browse for unique souvenirs, or even sample some local wine. With its lively atmosphere, colourful buildings, and stunning sea views, Monterosso offers the perfect mix of relaxation and authentic coastal Italian charm.

Pisa

The next part of the journey takes you to the historic city of Pisa, famous around the world for its remarkable architectural treasures. Pisa was a powerful maritime republic during the Middle Ages, thriving as a centre of trade, art, and learning. Its wealth and influence are reflected in the city’s stunning monuments. Walking through Pisa’s streets, you can still feel the echoes of its rich history, from medieval palaces to historic squares, offering a fascinating glimpse into a city that shaped much of Tuscany’s cultural heritage.

Piazza dei Miracoli

Piazza dei Miracoli is one of the most iconic and historically significant public spaces in Italy and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This expansive, lawn‑covered square showcases four extraordinary medieval monuments that reflect the city’s power as a major maritime republic from the 11th to the 14th centuries: the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the monumental Camposanto cemetery, and, of course, the world‑famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. Each building in the square exemplifies the distinctive Pisan Romanesque architectural style, with elegant marble facades, intricate arches, and rich artistic detail that speak to the city’s deep cultural heritage and international influences. Walking through Piazza dei Miracoli, you’ll feel transported back to a time when Pisa was at the height of its influence — and you’ll understand why this remarkable ensemble continues to draw millions of visitors from around the world each year.

Leaning Tower of Pisa

30m
Admission ticket not included

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most recognised landmarks in the world, famous for its unexpected tilt that has captivated visitors for centuries. This freestanding bell tower, part of the magnificent Piazza dei Miracoli complex, was built over 200 years starting in the 12th century and showcases the elegant Pisan Romanesque architectural style. Its slight lean, caused by unstable soil, gives it a unique charm and makes it a must-see for anyone visiting Pisa. Upgrade your experience to include skip-the-line entry, allowing you to climb to the top of the tower and enjoy breathtaking views of the city, the Arno River, and the surrounding Tuscan countryside—a truly unforgettable perspective of this historic gem.

Florence

1h 15m

After a day filled with unforgettable sights, it’s time to relax and begin the comfortable journey back to Florence. Settling into your luxury coach, you can reflect on the incredible experiences of the day—from exploring the colourful villages of Cinque Terre and enjoying free time in Vernazza and Monterosso, to discovering the historic streets of Pisa and taking in the architectural marvels of Piazza dei Miracoli.
