Additional Information & Description

Pisa & Cinque Terre: Day Trip from Florence combines two Ligurian seaside towns with time to explore Pisa, home to the Leaning Tower. The 13-hour outing takes you to Manarola and Monterosso, linking the coast by local train before including a stop in Pisa. It is a full day away from Florence, with both escorted visits and free time built into the trip.

Along the Cinque Terre coast

The journey begins with a scenic coach ride of around two hours, accompanied by narration about the region’s history and culture. On arrival, you board a local train for the coastal journey. The change of transport brings you into the landscape of Liguria, with its terraced slopes and seaside villages.

In Manarola and Monterosso, the visit turns from travelling to exploring. Monterosso is the largest of the Cinque Terre towns, and free time gives you room to choose between local food, shopping and a swim in the sea. These activities let you set your own pace for part of an otherwise escorted day, rather than spending the entire visit following the group.

Free time in Pisa

Pisa adds a different stop to the seaside itinerary. You have free time to explore the city associated with the Leaning Tower, so this part of the day is not limited to an escorted walk. Keep the distinction in mind when planning: time in Pisa is part of the trip, but entry to the tower is not listed among the ticket inclusions.

What the ticket includes

The ticket covers roundtrip travel from Florence in an air-conditioned coach, a fully escorted tour in Monterosso, Manarola and Pisa, admission to Cinque Terre National Park, and train tickets. Those transport arrangements are handled as part of the outing, so you do not need to arrange the included coach and rail journeys separately.

A gentle walk with the tour leader is also included as an optional activity. The live guide speaks English.
