Tuscany to Cinque Terre: Wines, Villages & Unforgettable Walks

Arrive in Florence at any time. Meet your CEO and fellow travellers in the evening at a welcome meeting.

Start the day off with a walking tour of Florence seeing all of the famous sites like the Centro Storico, Giotto’s bell tower, the Palazzo Vecchio and The Uffizi. It’s onwards to the Cinque Terre region. On the way the group will stop in Lucca for a guided walk through this medieval town.

Enjoy breakfast before taking a short train ride to the village of Monterosso, the starting point for today’s activities. From here, you may choose to join an optional scenic hike along the breathtaking coastal trails of Cinque Terre. Afterward, enjoy a free afternoon to explore at your own pace. You might sign up for a hands-on food-making class, book a relaxing boat trip, or wander along other coastal and inland paths that showcase one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in all of Italy. Spend the morning discovering the five iconic towns of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cinque Terre:Corniglia, Manarola, Monterosso al Mare, Riomaggiore, and Vernazza. If you choose not to participate in the optional hike, your Cinque Terre National Park pass will still be available, allowing you to explore all five towns independently by train and on foot.

A full free day to enjoy the marvels of Cinque Terre. Opt to visit the town of Portovenere or join a pesto-making demonstration in Manarola. You could also spend some time shopping, wine tasting, cafe-hopping, and beach walking if you’re craving more relaxing vibes. Kayaking, boat tours, and hiking are always available.

After breakfast, travel to North Chianti region. En route the group will stop in Pisa briefly to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. After, continue driving through the stunning Tuscan area and enjoy an included dinner tonight with the group in North Chianti.

Wake up in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. In the morning, hike the stunning trails around Villa Pitiana and immerse yourself in the beauty of the region. In the afternoon enjoy an included wine tasting and delicious dinner with the group.
