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.

Fantastic tour and the world’s best tour guide - Loved the tour and Sandro was fantastic. The best tour guide we have had during our 4 week holiday. We were recommended this by friends and we weren’t disappointed. The only issue was the bus was 25 minutes late turning up in the morning. We will definitely be recommending this to others and hope they also get Sandro. Great work 🤗

An amazing tour of Cinqueterre! - An amazing and fun filled day! We were able to get a taste of Cinqueterre and all the beauty she has to offer!! Marta (our guide) and Sergio (our driver) provided a wonderful and safe experience. Marta’s explanation and information was spot on in all aspects!! I don’t think you get to pick your guides, but I’d highly recommend this tour for a wonderful day!!! All of Marta’s tips and recommendations were perfect!

Sandro Was Great!! - Sandro was absolutely amazing. He always made sure all of knew where we were going and tried to get us to the front so we had as much free time as possible. The bus was 30 minutes late and kind of dirty, but not Sandro’s fault, he did everything he could to make it a great experience.
