Review of the Cinque Terre day trip from Florence, with optional hiking, boat views, Pisa, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.
“Best day trip to the region of cinque de terra. Well planned with very knowledgeable guide . Well worth a visit.”
See all five Cinque Terre villages from Florence, with trains, a seasonal boat ride, free time, and an optional coastal hike.
“Ado and Luca were excellent guides. Ado knows so much about the history of the area and is very passionate about sharing his knowledge with the group. The bus was excellent, very new and comfortable and the driver was excellent; drove very safely. My daughter (21) and I did this tour. The day was packed full with moving from one village to the next, and was a little too busy to try going for a swim but the beauty is incredible and I couldn’t have negotiated trains and sightseeing on our own, so this was a great option! We got it all in!!”

Hike Stromboli to Sciara del Fuoco at sunset, watch eruptions, and return by torchlight with an expert volcanological guide.
“Absolutely amazing! It was a lifetime experience and I can only thank the tour company, our fantastic guide (Giovanni) and the whole crew for taking care of us in this spectacular island. We loved the tour in that it was a mix of athletic rigour and otherworldly views all accompanied by our amazing tour guide who is a true mountain explorer, a terrific person and a knowledgable and nature-loving human being. For me this tour isn't only about the volcano and its explosions but mostly about the trek around the mountain, exploring its views from different angles and becoming one with nature. It was very special and thank you all…”
