Enjoy the only round-trip, one day tour from Florence to all five villages of the Cinque Terre, with a delicious lunch included. On this tour you will walk through all five villages of the Cinque Terre in one day, sampling the best aspects of the unique, ancient trails connecting the little towns, and exploring the most picturesque villages. The Cinque Terre is a beautiful stretch of rugged coast and the only unspoiled part left of the lovely italian Riviera. It takes its name from the five picturesque fishing villages, Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso.

The Cinque Terre has been inaccesible from the land for centuries, isolated by steep mountains and valleys on one side, and by the sea on the other. Thanks to its isolation, the Cinque Terre retains its unspoiled charm and is a protected World Heritage Site and a National Park. Led by our knowledgeable guides, you will wander through vineyards and olive groves, over stonewalls, and along a spectacular coastline.

You will first visit Cinque Terre village of Manarola, where you enter the national Park as you walk tom Corniglia, a beautiful stretch that finishes with a climb od 382 steps. On the cliff top village of Corniglia, a delicious local lunch is served in a restaurant with a perfect view of the sea and the hills declining down to the rocky coves.

After lunch, you will continue along the steep, ancient path, climbing high up through spectacular terraced olive groves towards the village of Vernazza, one of the most beautiful, where you will have some free time to sit in one of the cheerful bars and cafes, or even have a cooling swim in the bay.

The visit continue with a short train ride to Monterosso, renowed for its beautiful beach and small craftsmen's shops, where you will enjoy tasting the local wine or popping into some of the picturesque shops.

The following destination is Riomaggiore, and the famous Via dell'Amore - or Lover's lane - a track winding along the cliff-tops, high above the sea, which takes you back to Manarola, concluding your Cinque Terre visit, before returning to Florence by coach, able to admire the hectic activities of the fishermen.
