WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Cinque Terre Trails
Cinque Terre are five coastal villages in eastern Liguria that make up a UNESCO World Heritage site! Here, a train links the five different villages together. A small group tour with a max of 8 people is the perfect solution for those who want to keep the costs down and at the same time touch as many destinations as possible without being in a 54-seat bus. Your driver will be with you for the entire day. He will escort you on the boat and train. - Public boats operate subject to weather conditions and along the Cinque Terre from April until about the 3rd week of October.
2. Borgo Storico di Riomaggiore
Arrive at Riomaggiore by black Mercedes Minivan. The town climbs up along the ridges overlooking the sea and it is characterized from the typical stone houses with coloured façades and slate-roofs. From Riomaggiore we will take the Public boat to Manarola. Public boats operate subject to weather conditions and along the Cinque Terre from April until about the 3rd week of October. If you wish to hike you can take the Trail 531 Riomaggiore to Manarola. Our driver will follow the group by boat.

Forward time: 1 hour Difficulty Level: EE - For expert hikers Length: 1.470 km Difference in height: 202m. Follow the path signposted along the vegetable gardens until the small bridge from which begins the long flight of steps that leads through cultivated and fallow fields, with a panoramic view, to the ridge of Costa Corniolo. From there you can admire the tip of Montenero eastward, Manarola and the coastline of Cinque Terre westward. From the ridge of Costa Corniolo, the descent to Manarola begins on the left with the ancient flight of steps. It runs down the hill with spectacular views all the way to the village
4. Borgo Storico di Manarola
Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name "Manarola" is probably a dialectical evolution of the Latin, "magna rota". In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to "magna roea" which means "large wheel", in reference to the mill wheel in the town. Then train from Manarola to Vernazza
5. Vernazza
Vernazza is the only natural port of the five villages. Being the wealthiest village its architecture is most elaborate. See the Castle of the Doria, look at the watchtowers, and do not miss the Romanesque sanctuary of Our Lady of Reggio. You will be amazed by its simplicity and yet fascinated by its architecture. In Vernazza we can have a cooling swim in the sea, a nice shower and we can enjoy a delicious lunch made of authentic Pesto Pasta and fresh Mediterrean seafood (not included in the price). Train from Vernazza to Riomaggiore back on the Black Mercedes minivan on the way to Pisa to see the Leaning tower.
6. Piazza dei Miracoli
Continue to Pisa. Free time to see the Leaning Tower and walk around Piazza dei Miracoli to see its other celebrated monuments: Pisa Baptistery, Pisa Duomo. During the hour-long visit, you’ll also discover Piazza dei Cavalieri, home to the historic university Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. The tour will reach the Pisa tower at around 16:30. Usually it is enough to look at it from the outside, it is beautiful. However if you want to reserve your own tickets to climb it, you can do it choosing 16:45 as the time. Entrance Leaning tower's tickets are not not included. Back on our black Mercedes Minivan on the way to Florence.

We had a fantastic day with Marianna!! She was so sweet and super fun. We saw 3 of the Cinque Terre towns and enjoyed food, shopping and the sites. We requested to cut Pisa short so we could be back in time to watch Italy play in the Eurocup. Marianna accommodated that request easily.

The coast is a must see and our tour guide Marianna was amazing! She was so warm and kind to everyone. Making sure we were ok and comfortable. Answering all our questions, offering helpful tips, and to make lunch reservations if we wanted them. It is a very long day, however it is worth the trek.

Alberto was an amazing guide. We loved our tour at all the stops. He even got us a “surprise” and we enjoyed a bottle of champagne before leaving Pisa. It was raining at the end of of tour, and Alberto took the time to take us straight to our hotel door.

Esam was a great guide and gave us lots of info about the area, surroundings, and places to visit. His knowledge was great when it came to the activities and food options, and we had more than adequate time at each stop to explore. The time spent at Vernazza we used for swimming and enjoyed the sun. We had sparkling wine at our last stop celebrating the end of the excursion. We'll done True Scany for a amazing day out exploring Cinque Terre. 5 Stars !!

We had a great time on our tour to Cinque Terre & Pisa. Our guide, Vega, was very friendly and informative. She guided us from city to city & let us wander. One hour in each city passes quickly - so plan what you'd like to do/see. If there is rain, just buy a cheap poncho & keep exploring. Ride the boat between cities if you can.

Excellent tour guide and a wealth of local knowledge. Breathtaking views but a bit of hill climbing is necessary.
