About this tour
Pack two distinct Italian landscapes into 48 hours from Florence. Day one sweeps you to the Ligurian coast—Pisa's tilted tower and the stacked villages of Cinque Terre strung along cliffsides. Day two pivots inland through Chianti's vineyard ridges and medieval San Gimignano's towers. A guide handles logistics; you handle the wine tastings, olive oil samples, and wandering time in each place. Trains and road transport included.

What to expect
Day one starts early (7:30am) with a train ride north to Pisa, where you'll see the famous tower and square. The afternoon pivots to Cinque Terre—colourful villages clinging to cliffs above the Mediterranean. Walking between villages is typical; in summer, you'll visit fewer settlements to allow swimming time. Day two shifts gears entirely. You'll drive through Chianti's vine-striped hills, stopping at two producers for tastings and snacks, then spend free time in San Gimignano, whose stone towers puncture the skyline. Expect 7am-8pm days with moderate uphill walking, especially on coastal paths.
Good to know
Wear sturdy shoes and bring a light layer for coastal wind. The itinerary may shuffle depending on seasonal schedules—confirm timing before you go. Not suitable if pregnant or with cardiovascular concerns. Meals outside tastings aren't included. Dress for changeable weather; trips run rain or shine.
