Highlights
  • Borgo Storico di Manarola - Your Cinque Terre Tour starts from Manarola: The Cinque Terre is a beautiful stretch of rugged coast and the only unspoilt part left of the lovely Italian Riviera. It takes its name from the five picturesque fishing villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso. Cinque Terre have been inaccessible from the land for centuries, isolated by steep mountains and valleys on one side and by the sea itself on the other. Thanks to its isolation, the unspoilt charm of the Cinque Terre is a protected World Heritage Site and a National Park.

Additional Information

Cinque Terre is a stunning unadulterated region of the charming Italian Riviera’s rugged coastline. Its name derives from its five scenic fishing hamlets: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso. Walk alongside an informed guide from one hamlet to the next, marveling at the terraced fields and soft-colored settlements nestled between the heavens and the sea. First, you visit Manarola hamlet, followed by a pleasant boat trip (subject to favorable weather) to Monterosso, famous for its stunning beach and quaint artisan shops. Here you can unwind on the golden beaches and savor a refreshing Mediterranean dip. Savor a tasty local meal at a classic seaside restaurant amid the hills cascading to the stone-filled coves. A short train stop at Vernazza, one of the most beautiful hamlets, then to Riomaggiore to browse some of its charming stores. Note, the sequence of visits may vary.

Great day out - Our guide Sandro made all the difference in the world by ensuring a smooth and hassle free experience. He was an expert at ensuring we were at the front of every queue, skipping most of the lines and helping us save time during transit. Overall the one day tour with lunch was ideal to experience Cinque terre in a day.

前往五漁村的最佳方案 - The tour leader was very responsible and friendly. The itinerary was well arranged and the information provided was clear. You didn’t have to check the time and buy tickets yourself. It started from the Florence bus and took trains and ferries along the way. It was an easy choice for visiting Cinque Terre!

Great Experience - Federico and Raffaello were absolutely amazing. Federico was an incredible tour guide, navigating a big group with ease. He was funny and energetic, he made all our days, good days.

Excellent tour - Great tour. The tour stopped at three towns and had about 1.5 hours in the first town, 1 hour in town two, and 2.5 hours in town three which allowed for free time to use the beach. Federico was excellent and kept the group on track and gave good tips about places to see, local foods, and hiking paths. Raffaello was a good driver and got us there safely even though the road is very winding. The tour has a lot of independent time to use the tips. Not a lot of washrooms so beware to use them on the train or at the Levanto station.

Lovely day in Cinque Terre - Thank you to this tour company and Marta for making this day memorable! I have been traveling Europe for several weeks now and this day trip is one of my favorite days so far. Marta was clear about meeting points and times in each village and friendly and helpful with any questions. She gave us a good amount of time in each village and let us have free time to explore. I had to switch my meal for the included lunch because of an allergy and she made sure the restaurant did that. I highly recommend booking this excursion and if you have Marta, you’ll have an amazing time!

Amazing day at Cinque Terre - This was one of the best excursions I have ever done ! Marta our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and was very great about communicating with the group on where to meet at each spot and expectations for the day. Everything went so smoothly and she truly cares about the tours she gives! I also would like to thank the driver Sergo! I really enjoyed the day and felt like we had enough time to see just enough at each of the three spots. I highly recommend doing the included lunch as well it was super delicious! Quite an awesome day!!
