The journey
The coast line from France into Liguria, hopping between fishing villages the road never quite reaches.
Next departure

Day 1 — Nice
We meet at the station hotel in Nice for dinner. Your host hands out tickets, luggage tags and the one map you will need.
The middle days — Genoa, Vernazza, Pisa
The coast line from France into Liguria, hopping between fishing villages the road never quite reaches. Each day has one train, one long lunch and an afternoon that is yours. Bags travel ahead, so you only ever carry a day pack.
Last day — Florence
A slow final leg and a farewell lunch in Florence. Onward trains home are booked for you, or stay on and we will arrange the hotel.
