Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Leaning Tower of Pisa, Piazza del Duomo Piazza dei Miracoli, 56126, Pisa Italy

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Piazza dei Miracoli, Piazza del Duomo, 56126, Pisa Italy

With 1.5 hours here spent at your leisure, perhaps pose for photos by the Leaning Tower and, depending on availability, head inside for a guided tour (own expense).

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Manarola, Manarola, Cinque Terre, Italian Riviera, Liguria

Your final stop is Manarola, a tiny village that is said to have more grapevines than any other Cinque Terre village. Wander along the harbor and spend a few minutes snapping photos of the picturesque buildings that cascade toward the sea.

Great day! Had Ned as our guide and he was great. Took us around Pisa and Cinque Terre which was really fun, even though the weather wasn’t the best! Would recommend this to anyone :)

Excellent experience with Julia who submerged us in Italian history and beautiful scenic places of Pisa Tower and Cinque Terre. Well organised, made sure we had an enjoyable day and ensuring our group of 17 were well aware of our surroundings and assured we were safe and well guided till our return back home. Grazie Mille Julia! Love from Paris, Jay and Vick.

This was the best part of our week in Italy. The views were awesome. Highly recommend the fried seafood cones and the lemon gelato. It was a long day but well worth it. One of the trains was delayed and we missed the train back to Florence and got in around 9:00. Our guide, Ned, was great and informative. Loved the short hike around the third city.

Wonderful tour. Nedas is fountain of knowledge and is extremely pleasant. The whole tour was wonderful. Beautiful places that would have been difficult to visit without a guide.
