Cinque Terre and Pisa shore excursion with wine tasting

Three Cinque Terre villages, Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli, and a glass of local Sciacchetrà wine

A full-day private tour from Livorno port visits Riomaggiore, Manarola, and Monterosso in Cinque Terre, then stops at Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli to see the Leaning Tower, Cathedral and Baptistery. The Mercedes van carries up to eight passengers with port pickup and drop-off included. A professional English-speaking driver provides commentary from the vehicle and arranges a wine tasting of Sciacchetrà, the region's DOC wine. The itinerary depends on time and traffic, so Monterosso may be reached only if the schedule allows.

The experience

The tour departs from Livorno port in a Mercedes van and heads to Cinque Terre, where you'll walk through Riomaggiore and Manarola: two of the five clifftop villages the region is named for. The driver waits in Monterosso to collect you and return to Pisa, where you'll spend time in Piazza dei Miracoli, the square holding the Leaning Tower, the Duomo and the Baptistery. A wine tasting of Sciacchetrà, the area's famous DOC wine, fits into the day at the vineyard stop.

The driver is a professional English speaker who offers commentary on the sites you pass but cannot enter museums, churches or monuments: an arrangement set by local labor agreements. This means you explore the villages and Pisa's landmarks on foot while the driver manages the vehicle and timing. The nine-hour excursion is built around the port schedule, so your return is timed to get you back to the ship. Monterosso, the largest village, may be skipped if the day runs tight.

Private transportation, all taxes and port transfers are included. Wi-Fi is available on most vehicles. Lunch and gratuities are not included, and if you want to climb the Leaning Tower, tickets must be purchased before 9 a.m. on the day of the tour.

What’s included

• Private transportation in a Mercedes van for up to eight passengers.
