Cinque Terre Day Trip

Battered by the Ligurian Sea are five villages full of color and an unequalled charm. Discover them on this excursion to Cinque Terre, a day where you fall in love.

Itinerary

The tour meets early to hit the road by bus to Liguria, where we will dive into a dreamlike landscape: Cinque Terre, a delightful combination of five towns perched high on clifftops surrounded by vineyards and leafy hills.

We'll arrive at Manarola, the oldest town in the Cinque Terre, whose inhabitants are fishermen and wine producers. Then, we'll head to Riomaggiore by train, an 18th-century town with just 1,500 inhabitants.

From here, we'll take a boat to Monterosso, another of the jewels of this beautiful region. We'll spend two hours here, exploring its pretty streets and taking in the largest beaches in the area. Here, we will have time to eat and take a breather before getting back on the train to Vernazza, a delightful fishing village surrounded by an incredible natural port.

To end the day trip, we'll take a train to La Spezia, where the coach will be waiting to take us back to Montecatini.

Lunch in Monterosso

We'll pause in Monterosso to eat lunch, and you can either go to a local restaurant of your own accord or choose the option with lunch when booking. The menu includes a seafood salad, pasta with pesto, and a dessert, accompanied by water or wine. If you would prefer a vegetarian option, indicate it in the comments when making the reservation.

Self-Guided Cinque Terre Tour

If you would prefer to see Cinque Terre at your own pace, we offer the option of reserving the self-guided excursion. With this option, you'll travel to Manarola in our bus and have the whole day to tour Cinque Terre at your own pace. This option does not include transport between the different towns.

In this case, the escort will indicate the pickup point in La Spezia where you should meet the tour at the end of the day to return to Montecatini.
