After leaving Florence, arrive at Riomaggiore, the first of the Cinque Terre. Your driver/guide will escort you on an easy walk along the famous Lovers Walk trail that affords magnificent views of the coastline. As you enjoy a relaxing stroll, the magic and beauty of the Cinque Terre will leave you captivated.

Next, tour the most photogenic of the five villages, Manarola. Explore a myriad of narrow alleys and pretty pastel squares that epitomize the man-made beauty of the Cinque Terre. Perhaps take time-out from your tour of the Cinque Terre to enjoy a wine tasting of local renowned wines at a cosy wine bar.

From Manarola, your tour of the Cinque Terre will continue with a visit to the town of Vernazza, arguably the most beautiful of the five Cinque Terre villages. Journey from Manarola to Vernazza by boat. The town of Vernazza faces onto the water with its large open harbor, castle and church. Enjoy a relaxing lunch at one of the open-air restaurants that line the waterfront, or enjoy a stroll through the back-streets of the town to enjoy splendid views along the coast.

Your local driver guide will escort you as far as Manarola and will make sure you are onboard the boat for Vernazza. He will meet you again in Vernazza after you have had time to explore the town. Before heading back to Florence, we will drive up to Corniglia, the only one of the Cinque Terre towns not located directly on the water.

Corniglia is the ideal place to finish our tour as you can enjoy some of the best views of the Cinque Terre. The terraced hills are covered with vineyards that remind visitors of Corniglia's famous wine that has been produced here since ancient times. The wine was so famous that vases excavated at Pompeii boasted its virtues. The less frequented of the Cinque Terre towns, you will have a chance to reflect on your before returning to Florence. This is a personalized small group tour operated with a maximum of 8 passengers.
