Your first stop will be at the Riomaggiore, after an easy walk that allows you to see magnificent views of the coastline.* Upon arriving at the charming village of Manarola, you will have ample time to explore its narrow alleys and pretty squares.
From Manarola, you will enjoy a shared boat ride to reach the most beautiful town of the Cinque Terre - Vernazza. The town of Vernazza faces the horizon and with its large open harbor, castle and church, it conjures up all the magic of the Cinque Terre.
You will be having a relaxing lunch at one of the open-air restaurants that line the waterfront and then take a stroll through the back streets of the town above the harbor to enjoy splendid views along the coast.
For logistical reasons, the local driver-guide will be escorting you as far as Manarola and will make sure you are on board the boat for Vernazza before leaving you. You will be meeting him again in Vernazza after you have had time to explore the town on your own.
Before heading back to Florence, you will be driving 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 day tour of the Cinque Terre as from the towns Belvedere, you will 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 way back in ancient times. In fact, the wine was so famous back then that vases excavated at Pompeii boasted its virtues.
After enjoying some free time in Corniglia, your tour ends and you will head back to Florence.

"We loved the Cinque Terre Tour and recommend it as the ideal day trip from Florence. The scenery was incredible, and our tour guide was both knowledgable and enthusiastic. In addition, we felt like we had the perfect balance of time with the group and time on our own to explore the towns of the Cinque Terre. A must see! "
