Description
Your English-speaking tour driver will welcome you at the dock beside your cruise ship in Livorno for your private Pisa and Cinque Terre tour.
Visit the five small ancient tiny coastal villages on this Pisa and Cinque Terre tour Built in ancient times by people seeking refuge from the invading Barbarians, the “Cinque Terre” lie between the mountains and the sea; the people, for centuries, endured an isolated life.
You’ll arrive in Portovenere, the driver will give you all the instructions on what you can do and the suggested time to spend in each site.
You can consider taking the Cinque Terre express, a small train that stops in each of these villages. From Portovenere to Riomaggiore, the first of the Cinque Terre, you’ll have the opportunity to walk on the most famous and easiest trail (a twenty min walk)…the Via dell’Amore (which needs no-translation) trail that showcases magnificent views of the coastline. The path glides above the Sea, beneath the mighty cliffs of the Cinque Terre, and link Riomaggiore to Manarola. Then, you’ll move to Monterosso, the farthest village, where you’ll meet your driver.
After the Cinque terre tour, you will drive back to the port of Livorno, but on the way, an additional stop can be arranged in Pisa for a brief visit of the Leaning Tower and Miracoli Court.
