I learned a lot about the area and had a good experience with exercise!
5Great hike
Pall was knowledgeable and helpful and provided a great hike through the hills. He clearly loves the area and culture. I thoroughly recommend.
5Personal tours from locals are the BEST
I have had the most amazing experience over the last few days. Firstly, Pall met me at the train station when I arrived, to make sure that I got safely to my accommodation...and then gave me a quick tour of the village (Riomaggiore - also recommended by Pall as the best place to stay)....the next morning, the day of my trek, he met me again with my guide for the day - Brigitte. Off we then went on our adventure for the day. The first 4 hours or so, was trekking up hill and down dale. Brigitte was very knowledgeable, and knew all the plants along the way (love how she also prunes the prickly ones along the way to make it safe for trekkers), including the edible ones. She also new the best places to take pictures - and as I was travelling on my own, she took lots of photos with me in them, which I appreciated no end. We stopped to rest when we needed to, as well as get a drink or fill waterbottles along the way. When we reached Manarola, this was the 'hard' part done for the day. We stopped and had a light lunch (I had the local foccacia with cheese and tried another local bread), then coffee to get us on our way. We then caught the train to Vernazza, where we (well, I did!) yummy gelato. A quick explore of the village and the highlights (love, love, love the churches - so much history!!) and then on the train again to Monterosso. This is more of a 'resort' town, and was very busy, but we snuck away from the crowds a little and explored the old town before heading back to the marina to catch the ferry back to our starting point. What a magnificant way to end the tour - as we could then see where we had walked (wow, we did get up high!!) as well as see the intensity of the colours of these amazing villages. I had the best day. I am so grateful for everything that both Pall and Brigitte have done for me. If you have read this far, BOOK A TOUR TODAY! They are amazing!
5Pall is a great guide!
We had an amazing day with Pall! He is super knowledgeable of the area and a wonderful guide. He does a great job of pacing the walk so you can enjoy your trek. We are both over 65 and in reasonable shape. We loved every minute of the tour! And best of all, we did it!!
4Amazing!

About Cinque Terre
The Cinque Terre are five colourful fishing villages strung along the steep Ligurian coast, linked by trails, trains and boats above the sea.
The Cinque Terre are Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, five villages on a rugged stretch of the Ligurian coast in north-west Italy. Pastel houses cling to cliffs above tiny harbours, and centuries of dry-stone terraces climb the slopes, planted with vines, olives and lemon trees. The coast is a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Top-ranked sights in Cinque Terre: Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre National Park (Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre), Vernazza.
