Florence and Cinque Terre Escape

Day 1  Florence            
Arrive into the wondrous city of Florence and take a private transfer to your city-centre hotel. Once settled in, enjoy your first venture into the city, down glorious, cobbled alleyways and cap off your first day with authentic Italian pasta.            

Day 2  Florence            
After sipping a traditional espresso, begin your day with a visit to the symbol of Florence – the iconic Duomo, a striking architectural feat. Skip the queues with your included ticket and ascend the 463 steps for commanding city views. Afterwards, be astounded by the beauty of Italian Renaissance art with a visit to the Uffizi Gallery.            

Day 3  Cinque Terre            
Rise early for your guided day trip to Cinque Terre, a beautiful coastal region with picture-perfect cliff-side villages nestled among jaw-dropping rock formations and terraced vineyards and olive groves. Your tour includes a scenic boat ride between two of the five villages, Monterosso and Manarola, as well as time for lunch accompanied by a stunning sea view in Monterosso, and time to explore Manarola on foot.            

Day 4  Florence            
Spend the morning with a visit to the Accademia Gallery, famous for housing Michaelangelo’s legendary ‘David’ statue. Afterwards, stop by the Ponte Vecchio for a brilliant photo opportunity and a charming walk along the Arno River to absorb the atmosphere. In the afternoon, become a master of Italian cooking with a course teaching you the art of Italian pizza and gelato-making – be rewarded by tasting your creations!            

Day 5  Florence            
Enjoy a leisurely final morning in this beautiful countryside retreat before meeting your driver for a scenic transfer back to Florence for your onward flight.
