Meet your guide in central Florence and set out on the around 2.5-hour journey to the Cinque Terre, traveling by air-conditioned minivan. On arrival, set sail on a scenic cruise along the coast, enjoying spectacular views of Cinque Terre National Park and cruising past the five villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso al Mare.
After taking in the views from the water, head ashore for an easy coastal hike and see the Cinque Terre from a different perspective. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, head to a local restaurant for a delicious lunch of traditional Ligurian cuisine, including fresh seafood and a guided tasting of Cinque Terre wines.
