Start your day with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Florence by your friendly, English-speaking driver in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Sit back and enjoy the scenic journey through the Tuscan hills and Ligurian landscapes as you make your way to La Spezia, the gateway to the magical Cinque Terre.
- Private Transportation from your accommodation with a professional English-Speaking driver.
Once in La Spezia, your driver will drop you off at the central train station, where your self-guided adventure begins. On the way there, your English-speaking driver will share local tips, points of interest, and helpful information to make your visit as smooth and rewarding as possible. The local train is the most efficient and scenic way to explore Cinque Terre—it runs every five minutes, follows the rugged Ligurian coastline, and offers breathtaking sea views at every turn.
From here, you’re free to discover the vibrant fishing villages of Cinque Terre at your own pace. Wander through Riomaggiore, with its stacked pastel houses and dramatic harbor views. Take in the romantic atmosphere of Manarola, one of the oldest villages, known for its clifftop setting and charming streets. Explore Vernazza, often considered the jewel of Cinque Terre, with its colorful piazza and views from the medieval Doria Castle. You can continue on to other villages like Corniglia and Monterosso if time allows.
Whether you prefer to hike between towns, relax by the sea, or get lost in narrow alleys lined with local shops and cafés, the train system gives you the flexibility to experience Cinque Terre your way.
At the end of your visit, return to La Spezia by train, where your driver will be waiting to bring you back to Florence—wrapping up a day filled with stunning coastal beauty and unforgettable moments
