About this trip
Seven days across Italy, starting and finishing in Florence, with the Cinque Terre coastline and the Tuscan countryside in between. It mixes proper walking with wine, villages, and a bit of Renaissance sightseeing.
You'll spend time in the Cinque Terre national park, wander its cliffside villages, and stop in Pisa to see its famous leaning tower. From there it's on to Tuscany, where medieval towns and vineyard walks (glass of wine included) fill out the rest of the trip.
It's a good balance of activity and slower moments — walking trails one day, sipping wine among vines the next.

- Walk trails through the Cinque Terre national park
- Explore the coastal villages of Cinque Terre
- See the Leaning Tower in Pisa
- Wander medieval towns in the Tuscan countryside

- Starts and ends in Florence
Worth it if you're fit enough for serious hiking and value knowledgeable, charismatic guides. Think twice if you prefer leisurely pacing or expect luxury accommodation.
- Guide quality is genuinely exceptional—multiple travellers singled out their guide's knowledge, energy, and personal attentiveness by name.
- This is a strenuous, active tour with substantial hiking; one traveller struggled with the physical demands, though they accepted it as their limitation.
- Hotels are clean and functional but unremarkable; don't expect boutique charm outside the villa base in Tuscany.
- Florence feels rushed at one day; allocate extra time if you want to properly explore the city beyond the scheduled itinerary.
