You can hike, it you wish to, from Riomaggiore to Manarola. 1 hour hike (this is subject to availability based on weather/danger). The driver will follow you by boat/train. Public boats also operate subject to weather conditions and along the Cinque Terre from April until about the 3rd week of October.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

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.
3. Trail 531 Riomaggiore to Manarola
Optional -If you wish to hike you can take this trail on your own or instead you can follow the driver on the boat/train. The tickets are not included. Check in the real-time practicability of the path network at this link: http://www.parconazionale5terre.it/Esentieri-outdoor.php#/ You will meet back our driver in Manarola. 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.

Our day started out wet but our guide was prepared with umbrellas. There are some steep steps in the first part of the tour and they are slippery when wet. Wear shoes with good treads. The lucky part is you get to go back up the cliff by elevator. I would recommend this trip

We did the all day Cinque Terre trip leaving from Florence. We visited 3 of the villages (Reggiomayor was our favorite), and Pisa. The experience was everything we were hoping for! Going with Daniel was great and made a long day easy. He was very accommodating, knowledgeable and took great care of the group. Would highly recommend!

It was just a wonderful day….an experience I will never forget…. The views and scenery are forever sketched in my memory bank. Our day started with rain and clouds but our tour guide Sara encouraged us to keep a good attitude and maybe the weather would change. It did. Sara made the tour extra special…. Great insight and some awesome local history. Some parts a little challenging to walk for some. Take your time and enjoy. Out day ended in Pisa…. So amazing to see in person. A long day but very rewarding 🙏🇮🇹👍

Day starts of early but there is lots to see. Our guide, Esam was excellent. He took such good care of us all day and made sure we were having an enjoyable time. After arriving to the first Bay we took the train to the next one and then the Ferry to another before returning back to our original spot again by train. The visit to Pisa was amazing. You can't believe its beauty until you are standing in front of it.

Daniel was absolutely, hands down the best tour guide we have ever had!! I would give him 10 stars. He was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and we had the best day! He made our trip enjoyable with no stress, he made sure we were all comfortable and happy the entire time, he serenaded us in the end with a glass of Prosecco to end our day in Pisa. Thank you Daniel for being such a great tour guide and making our trip a memorable one!

My husband and I had 1 last day in Italy and we are very please that we picked this specific tour. Daniel was our driver/guide and we had a great day exploring 3 towns and visiting the leaning tower. The ride was comfortable and we loved how small our group was
