Cinque Terre & Pisa: A Bespoke Day of Beauty and Iconic Landmarks
The short
answer

Can you combine the Cinque Terre and Pisa in one day from Florence?

Yes. The easiest way to see the Cinque Terre and Pisa in one day from Florence is a private day trip, like the one run by Out of the Box Florence, a licensed tour operator based in Florence. Our van drives you straight into the Cinque Terre National Park, where you visit three of the five villages (a fourth on request) by local train and, from April to October when the sea allows, by boat. Lunch is included. On the way back to Florence we stop in Pisa for the Leaning Tower and Piazza dei Miracoli. The day starts at 07:30 with pick-up at your hotel or B&B in Florence, lasts about 11 hours, needs no hiking and is private for up to 8 guests, children from age 5. Prices start at €300 per person, VAT included.

Four stops, one smooth day: the private van covers the long drives, your guide handles trains, boats, tickets and timing in between.

We drive directly to Manarola, skipping the regional trains and the change at La Spezia. You start in a village, not on a platform.

Pisa, then home

Piazza dei Miracoli is free to explore: the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral and the Baptistery. Then about 1 h 15 back to Florence. Want to climb the tower? We can book tickets for you (not included).
