Program details

Take a break from the cities and get back to nature! Join the only tour that takes you to the Cinque Terre on a one day hiking trip. An area best explored on foot: The only way to truly experience the magic of the beautiful rugged coast of the Cinque Terre is to hike!



Led by our knowledgeable guides, trek scenic, ancient trails, wander up through the terraced wineyards and olive groves, all along the spectacular coastline of the true Italian Riviera. We depart Florence at 8:00am and we arrive high above the Cinque Terre village of Manarola, where we enter the National Park to hike to Corniglia. At the cliff top village of Corniglia, after the panoramic walk you have free time to relax and take-in the perfect view of the sea and surrounding hillside. After Corniglia, we continue our tour towards the village of Vernazza, one of the prettiest and most characteristic of the towns. Here we have free time to sit in one of the cheerful bars and cafés, or even have a cooling swim in the sea.



Continue the visit with a short train ride to Monterosso, the village renowned for its beautiful beach and artisan shops. Enjoy free time to taste the local wine, a refreshing swim in the sea or souvenir shopping. A boat ride (weather permitting) along the coast takes us to Riomaggiore, where we finish our walk along the famous path of Via dell'Amore, “Lover's Lane”, a walkway hanging above the sea which take us back to Manarola. This completes our Cinque Terre visit, we return to Florence by coach around 8:30pm.
