Explore the scenic Italian Riviera! Discover one of Italy’s most amazing destinations, the unforgettable Ligurian Coast of Cinque Terre, UNESCO World Heritage site. Enjoy scenic views of the 5 ingeniously constructed fishing villages on this private tour from Florence, accompanied by your own sommelier guide.
Between the villages you will enjoy scenic train rides along the Ligurian coastline. A relaxing boat ride is also included between 2 of the villages so you can enjoy stunning views of the Cinque Terre from the water. Wander the narrow streets, admire the colourful houses or take the chance to swim in the turquoise water.
A multi-course lunch paired with the aromatic, mineral wine of Cinque Terre will be served in a restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean sea. Cinque Terre remains Italy's most difficult area to cultivate due to unfriendly environmental conditions. Dive into traditional Ligurian food and local specialties, such as seafood dishes and pasta with pesto!

Johnny picked us up early, and immediately began our tour of Florence, even though we were going to Cinque Terre, so our entire trip was filled with information that we were excited to receive. We had a wonderful lunch, free time, great boat ride between villages, in depth back and forth talk about the villages, we were able to do 4 of the 5 and enjoyed the entire 12 hours, we decided the 5th village was too much and was so satisfied we with our tour. He did a great job and is is a true gentlemen and also knows the flora well which we also took advantage of Many thanks

We were picked up at our hotel in Florence at 7:00 and was very delighted with our guide Johnny who was very accommodating, patient and kind, just to start. We arrived at Cinque Terre and he adjusted the tour continually to our needs and interests, he had an excellent knowledge and history of the area and also all the flora, we had a delicious lunch by the water and although we had an ambitious plan for all 5 villages we made it to 4 and left completely satisfied and looking forward to our next visit . My wife and I are grateful that we were so blessed to have had a guide with not only the knowledge of the area but a passion to share that knowledge and then the energy to walk through each village with use. All so as on the way to, on the way from Cinque Terre we are being given history, and information on the area’s we drive through. Very much satisfied, highly recommend, do not be intimidated by the challenge do 1 village or 5 or any number in between you will enjoy immensely
