Detailed itinerary

Your private driver will meet you at your accommodation in Florence in the morning. Settle into a comfortable vehicle and prepare for a full day of scenic beauty, iconic landmarks, and personalized exploration.

Choose to begin your journey in Pisa, home to the world-famous Leaning Tower. Stroll through the Piazza dei Miracoli, where the marble façade of the Cathedral and Baptistery glows in the morning light. Capture your classic photo with the Tower or dive into the rich history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After exploring the architectural wonders of Pisa, sit back and relax as your private driver takes you toward the Ligurian coast. This journey unfolds across changing landscapes: from the gentle hills and vineyards of Tuscany to the dramatic, winding roads that lead to the sea. As you get closer to the Cinque Terre, the scenery becomes increasingly spectacular: olive groves, stone terraces, and glimpses of the shimmering Mediterranean. It’s more than just a transfer: it’s a moment to breathe, enjoy the ride, and anticipate the coastal magic ahead.

Stop 4

Your adventure continues along the stunning Ligurian coastline to the first of the Cinque Terre villages: Riomaggiore. Wander through narrow alleys, admire the pastel buildings clinging to the cliffs, or enjoy a coffee by the small harbor. This vertical village is full of character, photo ops, and peaceful seaside charm.

Next, discover Vernazza—often considered the most romantic of the five villages. With its charming harbor, historic towers, and lively piazza, Vernazza invites you to relax. Sip a glass of local wine, explore its winding paths, or simply sit and soak in the coastal atmosphere.

End your coastal experience in Monterosso, known for its sandy beaches and laid-back vibe. Whether you want to take a swim in the clear blue sea, enjoy fresh seafood at a beachfront trattoria, or browse local shops, Monterosso offers the perfect setting to unwind.

After a day shaped entirely by your interests and pace, your driver will bring you back to Florence. Sit back, relax, and reflect on a journey filled with freedom, beauty, and unforgettable views.
