Cinque Terre and Pisa Tower Tour from Florence Semi Private

1.Cinque Terre and Pisa Tower Tour from Florence Semi Private

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,406 reviews · from $285Our pick

Travel from Florence in a Mercedes minivan with a group of up to eight. Visit Riomaggiore, Manarola, and Vernazza by boat and train, then stop at Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli. Drivers such as Sara, Claudius, Diana, and Alberto add local context, but this is not a fully guided sightseeing tour.

“Our guide sara was great. But the tour is so much money for just driving and walking around. It is beautiful but for the price and the rushing around (which I understand to see it all) just too much and super expensive for what it is.”
