Cinque Terre Hiking Day Trip from Florence

Breathtaking viewpoints! The coast on one side and vineyards and olive groves on the other. Stephano was our guide and he was outstanding! He’s very energetic and kept the day well organized. I will be returning to do this hike again and will definitely special request Stephano! The BEST!

Our tour guides were Fabio and Alessandro, both were very entertaining and knowledgeable. Genuinely friendly and provided a unique experience of Cinque Terre!

Obviously a long day. But Chris and Alehandro did a great job keeping us Engaged. Entertained and didn’t lose anyone. Haha. Walk/ hike was harder than I expected but doable and views were spectacular. We enjoyed comfortable Bus drive. Trains and Ferry ride between towns.

Even with temps above 90 degrees F, this was an incredible day in Cinque Terre for my boyfriend and me!! Our tour guides, Chris and Martina, were absolutely fabulous! On the bus from Florence to Cinque Terre, they both gave us a lesson on the area and the best things to capture while in Cinque Terre. When we arrived, we split into 2 groups we were with Martina and started our journey across the five towns. The hike up to our lunch spot highly recommend paying 15 Euros to have lunch with the group - seafood and pesto were delicious! was a good test for the group. After lunch we started the main hike from town 3 to 4 and wow, it was harder than we expected and the heat didn't help!! However, the view from the top was gorgeous - a must see! After the hike we had a chance to take a dip in the Mediterranean which was a life saver! Town 5 we took Martina's advice and grabbed some local grub and wine and enjoyed the scenery. Luckily the weather was great so we were able to take a ferry back to town 1 and see Cinque Terre from the sea. All around a fantastic tour!

Me and my siblings really enjoyed the hike, it is the best way to see the Cinque Terre, and our GUIDE Stefano was the best he made the
hike extr special.
Be carful it is a series hike.

When they say it’s a hike... it’s a hike... especially in 100 degree heat. Alessandro was amazing though and he made sure we were all together and was very informative! Honestly, he made the trip a little better because he was constantly keeping us laughing! WEAR GOOD SHOES! I can’t repeat that enough! Totally worth the money, heat, hike, and exhaustion! Also, wear your bathing suit because a swim after the hike feels better than nothing else!

I chose this tour for our family because we wanted to see and experience as much as possible and this tour did that! The hike was fun and exhilarating and very doable we felt we had enough time along the way to check out each coastal village and it ended with a perfect ferry ride back to the station before heading home. Guides were great kept everyone in line but gave us freedom as well! We thought of trying to do this on our own from Florence originally but it was so much easier to have someone who knew what they were doing and to get us off the beaten path away from the crowds. Very informative as well!

Excellent trip with fantastic guides! Angel and Gloria were wonderful and informative all day while guiding us through all 5 towns of cinque Terre. It's a proper hike so bring your sneakers!

My daughter and I took a day trip from Florence to Cinque Terre. We opted for the hiking adventure and loved it. We started off on a mini-hike and then enjoyed a great lunch with the group (extra cost) After lunch, the real hike began. It was about 30 minutes uphill and 30 minutes downhill. You can go at your own pace and my daughter was determined to finish quickly so we had more time for swimming. Definitely bring (wear) your swimsuit as the water is very refreshing after the hike. There isn't any changing area, but we managed to change discreetly behind a towel. Our guides, Chris and Margarit, were fantastic. There were many logistics to get everyone on each train to get to the next town and they had it all timed perfectly. I highly recommend this trip. It was one of our favorite days on our European adventure.

Great day. Loved our guides. Fabio and Belen were wonderful. Fabio has a great personality. I wish I had five or six people just like him working for me. We went on a hot day. Up the stairs in the second village, had a great lunch best pesto ever! try the white wine - really good, took a few pictures then set off on the hike. It was a couple of miles with a nice little bar stop in the middle. We took the train to the 4th village, swam and laid on the beach, then had a nice boat ride back to the first village, train ride and bus ride back. It was well worth the money. I would do it all over again! Salute. Grazie!
