Breakfast at hotel. Morning meet at Piazza dell'Unità Italiana. Steep terraces adorned with colourful homes and vineyards await after a comfortable coach journey from Florence. On arrival set sail in a quaint public boat along the coast; breathing in the fresh sea air and admiring a view like no other. See the Gulf of Poets as well as other parts of the coast dominated by green hills, vivid villages and clear waters.
Our cruise takes you to the town of Portovenere where fishermen’s boats dock daintily by the beach with colourful homes peppering the scenery and an old castle looming on the horizon. Enjoy some free time here before continuing the cruise along Cinque Terre to Monterosso. Have lunch, swim, stroll, shop or even join your guide on an optional hike into the Cinque Terre mainland for a different perspective of terraced vineyards, olive groves and spectacular viewpoints.
Enjoy some free time to wander around Portovenere, Monterosso and Manarola at your own leisure. At this point you’ll certainly be quite satiated, especially after seeing the prettiest small harbour in the world. But you haven’t finished quite yet, not until you reach the final destination, Manarola. Here you’ll be dazzled with views of the tiny harbour, full of colourful boats and vibrant natural formations. Once more, feel free to take your time to amble around the area at your own pace and discover everything fate has in store for just you.

Return to Florence after the tour. Drop off at Piazza dell'Unità Italiana. Back to hotel. Free and overnight.
