Itinerary

Your tour begins in Florence

Find your tour leader at Piazzale Montelungo near Santa Maria Novella station in Florence, then check in and claim your seat. As the coach pulls away, let Florence fade behind you and the coast draw closer.

Cruise toward Liguria region on a coach with Wifi

Sink into the ride as Tuscan hills give way to sharper coastal light. Your tour leader sets you up for the day with timing tips, photo advice, and what to prioritize once you hit the villages.

Slip into village of Manarola

Step off the train into Manarola’s steep lanes and postcard harbor. Wander at your own pace, then linger by the waterline where fishing boats and pastel houses frame the sea.

Roam Vernazza’s marina and lookouts

Arrive in the small town of Vernazza and roam narrow alleys that open onto a tiny, dramatic cove. Climb for sweeping views, then pause with a gelato or espresso while the waves slap the stone.

Soak up Monterosso’s beach time

Unwind in Monterosso, the Cinque Terre’s best spot to swim. Stretch out on the sand, browse seaside shops, or chase down pesto and anchovies before regrouping.

Savor Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli on your own

Shift gears and head into Pisa. Savor the hush of marble monuments in the Piazza dei Miracoli. Circle the Leaning Tower for photos, then take in the Cathedral and Baptistery from the outside.

Your tour ends back in Florence

Settle back onto the coach and replay the day as the landscape softens on the return. Arrive back at Piazzale Montelungo in Florence in the early evening.
