Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Terraced hills and coastal panoramas

Cinque Terre’s trademark stacked vineyards and the rugged coastline frame village after village—an enduring balance of sea, land and local life that defines the region.

THE ROUTE

A drive through Tuscany to Liguria

The day includes a scenic drive out of Florence toward the coast; along the way you may pass notable features such as the Carrara marble quarries before arriving in Cinque Terre.

THE EXPERIENCE

Private, flexible touring with optional sea views

On a private tour you have flexibility and privacy for your party, and—if sea and operating conditions allow—there may be a ferry option to view the villages from the water.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

This is a day that trades Florence’s galleries for open coast and village lanes: a private vehicle carries your party across the Tuscan countryside, past Carrara’s marble scars, and down to Liguria. Once in Cinque Terre you’ll step into villages framed by terraces and the sea; there’s the chance—weather and conditions permitting—to extend that perspective with a ferry ride and see the coastline from the water.
