Great 1 day visit to CT and Pisa with kids!
Emelio was informative, kind and the best driver! We went to 3 out of the 5 towns and got to spend time in each. The kids swam in Vernazza and we had lunch in Riommagiore. There’s also some swimming option there but it’s off of rocks so we did not do it but the kids enjoyed climbing around. We arrived via 9 passenger van, parked in Monorolo. We then took the ferry to Vernazza and then train to Rio. Around 3pm we drove over to Pisa where we spent 1 hour, we did not climb the steps and if you want to best to pre it tickets for the time. If I had questions before the tour they were answered promptly. I recommend this family and kid friendly tour for a day visit to CT and Pisa with kids!

Great day in Cinque Terre and Pisa
Great experience and a perfect day. Emilio was excellent and had our day all planned out. Plenty of time to do everything we needed all in one day.

Day trip
Excellent Day and travels with Emilio. Once we showed up, the day was organized but allowed for some independence.

Day Trip Is So Much Better Than Staying There
This is a perfect sampling of Cinque Terra and Pisa without staying there. The day trip was smooth and our tour guide, Emilio was incredible, he was our driver and guide and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We had plenty of time to explore (and eat, drink, and shop) on our own. We walked, a lot but the boat ride, van ride, and train broke up the pace nicely. The weather was amazing, we had a great day!

Cinque Terre- a 5 star day!
Emilio was a GREAT travel guide/host. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. Highly recommend this tour of Cinque Terre- one of the top five destinations I’ve ever visited.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small Group Day Tour in Cinque Terre and Pisa From Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Small Group Day Tour in Cinque Terre and Pisa From Florence cost?
+
Prices start at $159 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Small Group Day Tour in Cinque Terre and Pisa From Florence take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Small Group Day Tour in Cinque Terre and Pisa From Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 90 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small Group Day Tour in Cinque Terre and Pisa From Florence?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Small Group Day Tour in Cinque Terre and Pisa From Florence suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group Day Tour in Cinque Terre and Pisa From Florence?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group Day Tour in Cinque Terre and Pisa From Florence start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
