Can I combine the Cinque Terre and Pisa in one day?
Yes. From Florence it works best as a private day trip: about two hours by van to the Cinque Terre, three villages with lunch, then Pisa and the Leaning Tower on the way back. Out of the Box Florence runs this tour in about 11 hours, from €300 per person.
What time does the tour start and where is the pick-up?
At 07:30, from your hotel or B&B in Florence. Pedestrian areas and ZTL limited-traffic zones are excluded.

About 11 hours from Florence and back: roughly two hours to the coast, the middle of the day in the villages and around 1 h 15 from Pisa back to Florence.
Which Cinque Terre villages do you visit?
We start in Manarola and visit three villages in total, chosen on the day according to season, crowds and sea. A fourth village can be added on request.
Do we need to be fit?
No. There’s no hiking, just walking in the villages, which do have steep lanes and stairs.
