Best of Cinque Terre & Pisa - Semi-Private Day Tour

Experience two of Italy’s most iconic highlights in one unforgettable day — the colourful coastline of Cinque Terre National Park and Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the legendary Leaning Tower of Pisa. This semi-private tour perfectly blends stunning landscapes, culture, and coastal charm, with the added benefit of personalised guidance throughout the journey.

Depart in the morning in a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan or Sprinter, heading toward the breathtaking Italian Riviera. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to this remarkable region, famed for its seaside vineyards, ancient villages, scenic trails, and sweeping coastal views.

In the Cinque Terre National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997 — you’ll visit a selection of its most picturesque villages, perched along dramatic cliffs and surrounded by terraced vineyards cascading toward the sea. Explore on foot and, weather permitting, enjoy a scenic boat ride that offers a unique perspective from the water.

A light panoramic walk through a peaceful vineyard path above the coastline takes you away from the crowds and into a world of silence, natural beauty, and tradition. Along the way, learn about the region’s heroic viticulture, including the ingenious use of steep monorails to harvest grapes from near-vertical slopes.

You’ll also have free time to relax in one of the villages — perfect for swimming, shopping for local products, or sampling Ligurian specialities (lunch not included).

In the afternoon, continue on to Pisa, home to one of Italy’s most iconic landmarks. Enjoy time at leisure in Piazza dei Miracoli to admire its striking architecture and capture the perfect photo of the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa (tower tickets not included).

Designed to help you make the most of your day, this tour offers a full-day escape along the Ligurian coast and through western Tuscany — showcasing vineyard-covered cliffs, charming villages, and historic squares, all in the comfort of a semi-private group experience.
