Day trips
The Cinque Terre in a day from Florence
If we arrive more than 9 minutes late, the ride is free.
The Cinque Terre are five villages perched above the sea, joined by a train and a boat but not by an easy road. They are far from Florence: the hard part of the day is getting there and back.
The driver picks you up at your hotel and takes you as far as Monterosso, the only one of the five villages where the car gets close to the sea. There they wait for you: you tour the villages by train or by boat, and in the evening you rest in the car.

Why a private car and not a group
Your own pace
You stay longer where you like it and leave sooner where it does not interest you. No group timetable to keep.
Door to door
The driver comes to your hotel and drops you at the point closest to the entrance of every stop. No meeting point at the bus station.
Your things in the car
Jackets, shopping and bottles stay in the car while you visit: the driver does not go away.
One price for the whole car
You pay for the car, not for the people: with three or four of you the day costs less per head than it seems.
How it works
Choose the trip and the date
You see the price per car straight away. If you like, you change the stops or how long they last before paying.
Receive the driver's details
The day before you receive their name and number. At the agreed time they are at the address you wrote.
Enjoy the day
At every stop you get out and visit at your leisure. When you have finished, the car is there.
Good to know
Between the villages you go by train or by boat
Cars do not go into the villages. The train runs often and takes you from one village to the next in a few minutes; the boat runs in the good season.
A long day
The hours on the road are many: leave early. In the car, on the way back, you can sleep.
In summer it is crowded
In the hottest months trains and paths are crowded. Out of season the day gives more.
Practical information
Start
At the time you choose, from the address you write. For a full day it is best to leave by nine.
Old towns
Many villages are closed to traffic: the driver drops you at the gate or the nearest car park and tells you where to find them again.
Tickets
For the most popular monuments buy your ticket in advance, with its time: the driver plans the day around it.
Cancellation
Free cancellation up to 12 hours before departure, with InTime Flex.

Questions about this trip
Does the driver come with us into the villages?
No: the driver stays with the car in Monterosso. Between the villages you move by train or by boat, and you buy the tickets on the spot.
Can we stop in Pisa on the way?
Yes: add the stop in the form and see the updated price. Check the total duration: the day gets longer.
What if the sea is rough?
The boat may not sail, the train does run. The trip goes ahead anyway; if you prefer to change the date, see the cancellation rules above.
