From the ridge of Costa Corniolo, the descent to Manarola begins on the left with the ancient flight of steps. It runs down the hill with spectacular views all the way to the village

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Borgo Storico di Manarola, Manarola Italy

Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name "Manarola" is probably a dialectical evolution of the Latin, "magna rota". In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to "magna roea" which means "large wheel", in reference to the mill wheel in the town. Then train from Manarola to Vernazza

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: 19018 Vernazza Italy

Vernazza is the only natural port of the five villages. Being the wealthiest village its architecture is most elaborate. See the Castle of the Doria, look at the watchtowers, and do not miss the Romanesque sanctuary of Our Lady of Reggio. You will be amazed by its simplicity and yet fascinated by its architecture. In Vernazza we can have a cooling swim in the sea, a nice shower and we can enjoy a delicious lunch made of authentic Pesto Pasta and fresh Mediterrean seafood (not included in the price).
Train from Vernazza to Riomaggiore back on the Black Mercedes minivan on the way to Pisa to see the Leaning tower.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Piazza dei Miracoli, Piazza del Duomo, 56126, Pisa Italy

Continue to Pisa. Free time to see the Leaning Tower and walk around Piazza dei Miracoli to see its other celebrated monuments: Pisa Baptistery, Pisa Duomo. During the hour-long visit, you’ll also discover Piazza dei Cavalieri, home to the historic university Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. The tour will reach the Pisa tower at around 16:30. Usually it is enough to look at it from the outside, it is beautiful. However if you want to reserve your own tickets to climb it, you can do it choosing 16:45 as the
time. Entrance Leaning tower's tickets are not not included. Back on our black Mercedes Minivan on the way to Florence.

We had a fabulous day with Esam. He was very thoughtful and kind to people on the tour. Cinque Terre was beyond gorgeous. We drove in a beautiful Mercedes van. At the end of the day, Esam was no longer our tour guide, he was our friend! Would recommend this trip highly! Pat

We loved this tour! Seeing Cinque Terre was amazing and loved that we could take the train and boats between the stops. The van for the drive there was very clean and comfortable. Daniel was a wonderful guide. He took care of our every need and always made sure we knew where to go and when to meet. He even surprised us with his guitar serenade at the end. Highly recommend!

Absolute great trip. Daniel was our guide/driver and was fantastic. Loved the small group, and the flexibility of the trip. The trip is a lot of walking, especially uphill but totally worth it. Everything was taken care of (except lunch) and traveling semi private was fantastic, especially compared to some of the larger tours that we were on.
