Hello,
We are debating a day trip to Cinque Terre in June on either a Sunday or a Monday. We have a group of 8. Active Grandparents, my husband and myself, and 4 children, daughter 20 and boys 18, 16 and 10. Not sure if all of us would go or just some of us :)
Fri June 6 We arrive in Florence from Venice. Spending the day in Florence before heading to our Villa outside of the Poggobonsi area.
We have 3 full days in Tuscany: Sat, Sun and Mon June 7/8/9
Tuesday June 10 early train to Rome.
Ideally I would rather do a big day trip on Sunday in the middle of our time in Tuscany, BUT if going to CT on Monday would be a significantly more enjoyable experience then during the weekend we would go Monday instead. A local Winery/horseride/vespa tour of San G company implied that Sunday would be a more enjoyable day then Saturday for that particular adventure so it got me thinking that maybe its really just Saturday that is very busy? But CT might be a whole different kettle of fish and busy everyday of the week and it won't make any difference which day we go?
We were going to do CT ourselves and hike what we can, no tour. so I think can be decided last minute BUT the wine tour stuff I understand needs to be booked ahead so that is what is driving the need to plan which day so I know where to put the wine/bike/horse (whatever it ends up being!) and which day to leave open for possible CT vs other hill town visits.
We might not go at all to CT since it is a lot for one day, but if we do I want to make the most of it.
