More information

This is the most complete experience — the only one-day tour that allows you to discover the beauty of the Cinque Terre villages while breathing the true, relaxed essence of this paradise and enjoying the charm of Pisa. A unique adventure filled with natural beauty, local culture, and authentic flavors. Experience the personalized attention of a knowledgeable guide, exclusive escapes from the crowds that reveal hidden, non-touristy gems, and the chance to savor two of the region’s greatest treasures: its cuisine, based on ancient traditions, and its unique coastal wines. Depart in the morning from the meeting point and travel aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan toward the spectacular North West Riviera. Throughout the day, your guide will introduce you to this extraordinary corner of Italy — renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, delicious food and wine, stunning sea views, and scenic hiking trails. Your comprehensive exploration includes visits to some of the most beautiful villages of the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso. Admire the dramatic coastline lined with thousands of dry-stone walls and terraced vineyards, and discover the charm of medieval fishing villages perched above the turquoise sea. Add to this the incredible colors of the sky and the water, and you’ll understand why this place is called paradise. Enjoy the most astonishing views both from land and sea — strolling along the trails of the national park and, weather permitting, enjoying a scenic boat ride for a truly unforgettable perspective of the Riviera. Relish some free time in one of the picturesque villages — the perfect opportunity to savor local delicacies (lunch not included), enjoy a refreshing swim, or browse through charming local shops. During the day, you will also experience a light panoramic walk along a nearly level seaside trail through tranquil vineyards overlooking the sea, far from the main crowds. Here, natural amphitheaters of lush vineyards open up before you, facing the horizon. Learn about the unique viticulture of this region — including the use of steep monorails to harvest grapes from almost vertical slopes — and the production of its celebrated wines. After soaking in the beauty and colors of the Cinque Terre, the journey continues to Pisa, one of Italy’s most iconic destinations. Enjoy free time to explore Piazza dei Miracoli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the majestic Cathedral, Baptistery, and the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa (tower tickets not included). Take in the atmosphere of this historic square and capture the perfect photo to remember your day.
