I see people asking this type of question often, and just wanted to let everyone know that a company here in Florence how has a Cinque Terre Day Trip. They take you on a private bus, you hike the towns, have lunch, etc. It is all day - leaves early from the Santa Maria Novella train station and gets back about 8 PM. Right now they are charging about $100 per person through Viator.
