Day trips
The Cinque Terre in a day from Lucca
If we arrive more than 9 minutes late, the ride is free.
From Lucca the Cinque Terre are closer than from Florence: the day is less long and there is more time left for the sea and the villages.
The driver picks you up at your hotel or at the gate of the walls and takes you as far as Monterosso, 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 they bring you back to Lucca.

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; the boat runs in the good season.
Inside the walls of Lucca
If your hotel is in the centre, write its name: the driver knows how far they can go in, or waits for you at the nearest gate.
In summer it is crowded
In the hottest months trains and paths are crowded: leave early.
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.
