Cinque Terre & Pisa Shore Tours with Under The Tuscan Sun

Set along Italy’s rugged Ligurian coastline, the Cinque Terre is an evocative stretch of seaside cliffs, vibrant villages, and crystalline waters recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Under The Tuscan Sun Tours offers a private 10-hour shore excursion from Livorno, blending the dramatic coastal scenery of the Cinque Terre with a cultural detour to the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa — a rare combination that maximizes a single day. This journey presents a unique vantage point on the Italian outdoor experience, inviting travelers to swim right in the clear blue sea framed by cliffs, and wander through five distinct fishing villages, each with its own personality and palette of pastel houses.

Manarola and Vernazza are highlights where steep terraced vineyards bloom above cobblestone streets, offering trails and panoramic views that demand breath and camera. The trip incorporates scenic train rides, weaving through tunnels and along cliffs, making access seamless and maximizing your time in each village. This isn’t just sightseeing; it’s immersion in a dynamic landscape shaped by centuries of fishing, winemaking, and salt-harvesting traditions.

Pausing in Pisa adds an iconic cultural contrast: the Leaning Tower stands as a marvel of medieval engineering, inviting a few moments of reflection before the coastal adventure continues. Throughout, local touches such as a tasting of limoncino brighten the experience with authentic regional flavors.

Under The Tuscan Sun Tours is an ideal gateway for travelers looking to combine cultural landmarks with outdoor splendor along Italy’s coastline. Their private shore excursions offer tailored itineraries that balance active immersion—swimming, walking, and riding trains—with moments of leisure and local connection. In a region renowned for its natural beauty and historic significance, this company carves out a standout adventure crafted for outdoor enthusiasts seeking more than a typical guided tour.
