For spring, we offer you a fantastic Italy Photo Tour (visiting Tuscany and the Cinque Terre). From May 9 to 17, 2026, we will photograph the extraordinary natural landscapes and towns of Tuscany and the Cinque Terre. During these 9 days, we will travel through the amazing fields of Tuscany, in their spring splendor. Among others, we will photograph magical views, hills, cypresses, and charming villas. On the other hand, we will delve into the Cinque Terre National Park, where we will photograph its 5 picturesque towns.
As with the rest of our Photo Tours, we will spend most of each day photographing several of the most spectacular points of each destination, but always paying special attention to the best hours of light, sunrises, and sunsets, where we will go to the most suitable locations to obtain the best possible images. Therefore, we will get up quite early each day during our stay and, in the same way, we will return late to our hotels, even doing night photography sessions during some of the days, especially in Tuscany.
As always, all this accompanied by the organization by our own travel agency for photography enthusiasts, and accompanied by one or several photographic guides knowledgeable of the destination. In addition, we offer you an optional 2-night extension in Florence, where we will have the chance to photograph this beautiful city, cradle of the Renaissance, with its spectacular monuments and buildings.
This Italy Photo Tour (Tuscany and the Cinque Terre) will focus mainly on landscape photography. However, we will also have the opportunity to enjoy other types of photography, such as architecture and urban landscape, through to night photography, travel photography, and even portrait.
As we said, landscape photography will be the prime focus during our Italy Photo Tour. In a region as beautiful as Tuscany, the photographic possibilities are constant and limitless. Its valleys, hills, rows of cypresses, stunning villas… everything in the area is worthy of being photographed. Therefore, we will spend all day visiting various locations to photograph the most impressive views. In turn, we will dedicate special attention to sunrise and sunset, as they are normally the best moments of light of the day.
Moreover, we will look for the beautiful fogs that sometimes arise among the Tuscan hills at the first hour of the day. If we are lucky enough to find them, we will enjoy some magical conditions to photograph this beautiful area.
On the other hand, in the second part of the Italy Photo Tour, already in the Cinque Terre, we will focus on seascape and urban landscape photography. By the Mediterranean Sea, the beautiful towns that make up the Cinque Terre will offer us dreamlike views. Again, the photographic possibilities will be extraordinary.
In turn, especially in Tuscany, but also in the Cinque Terre, we will carry out some night photography sessions.
In our opinion, May is a perfect time for this Photo Tour, as we will enjoy the spring splendor in Tuscany. The meadows and hills will be completely tinged with green, a perfect moment to photograph their beautiful sceneries.
On the other hand, we will enjoy the first flowers of spring, which will facilitate the composition of beautiful images.

Our Italy Photo Tour (Tuscany and Cinque Terre) will begin with the group meeting at Florence airport.
From there, we will move to Tuscany, where we will spend the first half of our Italy Photo Tour. In this area, the landscapes are like something out of a fairy tale, making it easy to lose track of time photographing the beautiful valleys and hills alongside the villas that abound in the area. In addition, we have planned this trip at an ideal time to enjoy the intense greens typical of spring, which will give us endless possibilities to fully enjoy our passion for photography.
Everything in this area seems taken from a fairy tale, and this charm will make it very easy for us to achieve beautiful images of the wonderful landscapes that surround us.
On this first sunrise of our Italy Photo Tour, we will go to capture the most famous view of Tuscany, the Podere Belvedere villa. From here, sometimes you can witness fog in the middle of this magical valley, something that would undoubtedly add even more beauty to an already breathtaking view.
The magical Tuscan landscapes, world-renowned, will offer us great images in every corner, every view, every town… apart from numerous rural paths where we lose ourselves photographing those meadows, the cypresses, the hills, and their shapes… a real feast for the eyes and senses, and a true paradise for any landscape photographer. We will spend a large part of the day visiting some of the magical Tuscan towns, such as San Quirico d’Orcia and Pienza.
For sunset, we will go to another spectacular location, where a path lined with cypresses winds up to another fantastic villa.
Today we will wake up early again to do a new sunrise session in the Tuscan valleys, with the La Vitaleta chapel in the background. After making the most of the first light, we will move to the chapel itself, to photograph this small jewel of Tuscan architecture up close.
We will continue our journey along some of the roads and paths of the area, where we will make several stops to be able to photograph the scenic landscapes that we will have around us.
In the afternoon, we will visit other interesting towns in the area, such as Montepulciano and Monticchiello, before heading to the location from which we will capture the sunset, with an amazing zigzagging road in the middle of a green hill.
Once it gets dark, we will go to rest at our accommodation.
We will wake up early again to capture the first light of the day, from another beautiful location where, once again, we can enjoy a zigzagging road climbing a beautiful hill. This is one of the typical views of the area but, with the first light of the day, it acquires even greater beauty.
After breakfast, we will continue our tour through the Tuscan lands, visiting some of the towns we have left in the area, such as Montalcino. We will end the afternoon in an incredibly beautiful location, in the middle of mounds with photogenic shapes, with a group of beautiful cypresses in the background. Here we will
spend several hours, being the place from which we will photograph the sunset.
On this last day in Tuscany, we will wake up early again to capture the first light of the day, again with the Podere Belvedere villa in the background. We will try our luck with the magical mists that sometimes appear in this valley. We will photograph the area from several different locations, with different views of this fabulous villa.
After breakfast, we will start our journey towards our new destination, in the surroundings of the Cinque Terre National Park.
Once checked into our hotel, we will head to photograph our first sunset in one of these towns, Manarola. Famous for its view of colorful houses, we will also photograph the location in the blue hour, returning to the hotel once it is dark.
Today we will photograph our first sunrise in the Cinque Terre, from the beautiful town of Vernazza.
We will have breakfast in the same town after our session, and then take a short tour of it, along one of the beautiful trails that connect the picturesque towns of the Cinque Terre. After that, we will move to the town of Monterosso al Mare, where we will visit a small photographic gallery.
After exploring the town, we will move to Riomaggiore, another of the beautiful towns of the Cinque Terre, where we will photograph the sunset with a wonderful view of the town next to the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
We will get up early again, to photograph the sunrise from Manarola, returning to the area we already photographed on our first sunset in the Cinque Terre.
We will have breakfast in this same town, and then move to the town of Cornigglia. After walking through the town until the early afternoon, we will move again, this time to Vernazza, where we will photograph the sunset. For this sunset, we will ascend to a hill, from which we will enjoy excellent views of the town and the sun, as it sets over the sea.
Once it is completely dark, we will return to our hotel to rest after another intense day of travel and photography.
This will be our last full day of our Italy Photo Tour (Tuscany and the Cinque Terre), so we will make the most of the time before saying goodbye to this area.
We will wake up in Riomaggiore, in search of different lights than those we already had on our previous sunset in the town. We will spend the morning photographing its beautiful streets, its colorful houses, and its small fishing port.
In the afternoon, we will take a drive in our vehicles along the road that connects the five towns. We will photograph beautiful views from various viewpoints located along the route, finishing the day by capturing the sunset from one of them.
After a well-deserved dinner, we will return to our hotel to rest.
Today we will head to Florence airport, where this Italy Photo Tour (Tuscany and Cinque Terre) will end.
We have prepared an optional extension of this Photo Tour of Tuscany and Cinque Terre, which will take place in the beautiful city of Florence. This extension, lasting 2 days, will take place after the initial base trip.
In this short extension, we will photograph the most impressive locations of magical Florence, a mythical city and cradle of the Renaissance.
As soon as we take the travelers not participating in this extension to the airport, we will head to our accommodation for the next few nights, in Florence. The first afternoon of this extension will be spent visiting the outskirts of the city, going to photograph the best views of it from the Piazzale Michelangelo. Sunsets from here are often memorable. We will photograph the sunset and the blue hour from here, before heading back to the hotel when night falls.
We will get up early to photograph the sunrise in the Ponte Vecchio area, another of the architectural gems of this beautiful city. We will stay taking photos in the area until the light becomes harsher.
After breakfast, we will take a photographic tour of Florence, capturing some of its most famous locations. We will spend the whole day in the city, photographing, among other places, the Santa Maria Novella church, the Piazza della Repubblica, the Palazzo Vecchio, the Piazza del Duomo, and the impressive Santa Maria del Fiore, one of the most beautiful cathedrals on the planet.
We will stay in the center until dusk, photographing the sunset in the area, and revisiting the Ponte Vecchio before returning to our hotel.
Today ends this extension to Florence, but we will not miss the opportunity to go out to capture the first lights of the day in this unforgettable city. Just like when we arrived, we will leave the city after enjoying the best views of it from the Piazzale Michelangelo. This time, we can enjoy the views with the light illuminating it from an opposite side to the previous sunset. It will undoubtedly be a fantastic finale for a city like Florence.
After our last sunrise, we will have breakfast and head to the airport, where this Photo Tour of Italy will end.
