- Cinque Terre - Cinque Terre is a rugged coastal area on the eastern Ligurian Riviera (La Spezia Riviera), situated in the province of La Spezia, between Punta Mesco and Punta di Montenero. It comprises five villages (three municipalities and two hamlets), historically referred to as “lands,” which are, from north to south: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore.
- Levanto - Levanto is an ancient town nestled in a valley adorned with olive trees, vineyards, and pines, directly facing the sea. If opting for the Transfer Only option, this is the drop-off point where you can begin your tour independently. The valley’s ridges meet the sea at the Mesco promontory and the tip of Levanto. Part of its territory is included in the Cinque Terre National Park and the Cinque Terre Marine Protected Area.
- Manarola - In Manarola, visitors can unwind by swimming in the Mediterranean Sea’s crystal-clear waters, savor local delicacies in the shops, or explore this charming fishing village, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.
- Riomaggiore - Like the other Cinque Terre villages, Riomaggiore is nestled between the Ligurian Sea and the steep mountain range that branches off from the Apennines at Mount Zatta, descending southeast and serving as a divide between the Val di Vara and the coastal area. The historic center, with its origins dating back to the 13th century, is located in the valley of the Rio Maggiore stream, the ancient Rivus Major, from which the village derives its name.
- Vernazza - Vernazza is the second town in the Cinque Terre, situated in a bay between Monterosso al Mare and Riomaggiore. It also encompasses the nearby village of Corniglia, a part of it.
- Monterosso al Mare - Monterosso al Mare is located in the center of a small natural gulf, shielded by a modest artificial reef, east of Punta Mesco on the La Spezia Riviera. It represents the westernmost part of the Cinque Terre.
- Sightseeing Experience Visitor Center (meeting point for tourist assistance) - Return in the evening to the same location in the city center.

I loved the boat ride... - I loved the boat ride after the bus ride. The views of the Italian coastline were amazing. I enjoyed shopping and eating in the little villages. We walked on the beach in Monterosa. I loved watching the children playing on the beach.

Worth every moment! - Juliano was our lovely and linguistically talented tour guide, along with two other lovely and also linguistically talented women who took care of two other groups that were with us. Each town was a site to see and experience, we loved every moment. We started our day meeting inside the Firenze Train Station Santa Maria Novella by the site seeing booth ~ this is an experience my husband and I will hold dear to our hearts forever.

Perfect day! - This was such a wonderful day! We have never been to Italy and just wanted to see cinque terra, and this was perfect for that! We slept on the bus, and the tour was worth it to us to not have to figure out where to go and how to navigate trains and whatnot. We felt like we’d had plenty of time to sightsee and wander at each stop. We had a lovely sit down lunch at monterosso. Some people had said that a day trip to cinque terra wouldn’t be enough but it was for us! Depends on how you like to travel. For our first time, it was PERFECT!

Tour with beautiful views - The experience is very beautiful if you can walk all the viewpoints because they are worth it although the road can be somewhat heavy because they are climbs and narrow roads and you have little time. And if you go on Carlos's time if he wears your swimsuit, then if he wants to go into the water

Great experience! - This was a wonderful way to see most of the Cinque Terre in a single visit. We got to most of the villages on this tour, and we had plenty of time to experience each of them during our stops. The weather unfortunately did not cooperate to be able to take the ferry between stops, but it did not take away from the experience. Our guide, Lila was very helpful in letting us know the best spots at each place to see the scenic views or stop for a bite to eat. We did the street food option and were provided with vouchers for a place with focaccia and another for ice cream - both were delicious!

A colossal waste of time - So there was a train strike which forced us to go by bus and then boat…the bus consisted of 42 people in transit for two hours in each direction…the boat consisted of well over 100 passengers again in transit for an additional two hours each way…we went to two villages for about one hour and fifteen minutes…no explanation of the history or why these villages were chosen…in summary 8 hours in transit for 2 hours and 30 minutes of wandering around is a colossal waste of time. I think a refund is in order

Your bus left without us - We were 5 minutes late to our meeting place because we were outside not at correct meeting place asked several locals where to meet and were told that spot.. In the past booking with Viator we were called ahead of time if we missed communications had happened.
