Itinerary
Explore Manarola by foot or relax in a cafe or bar. From Manarola enjoy a shared boat ride to Monterosso. The harbor area is filled with colorful rowing boats and becomes the main sunbathing and swimming spot of the village from morning until dusk. In fact, this is the perfect place to spend a lazy day sunbathing and watching people jumping off the cliffs. Although there is no real beach here, it has some of the best deep-water swimming around. Along the main road the boats are pulled onto dry land every time the sea is rough. The village is all ups and downs, with steep narrow alleys carrugi, leading to the sea.
Monterosso – Summer Itinerary Monterosso is the largest of the five Cinque Terre villages and one of the most popular destinations along the Italian Riviera. Surrounded by hills covered with vineyards, olive groves and lemon trees, the village is known for its beautiful beaches, rocky coastline and clear Ligurian waters. Monterosso is divided into two areas by the medieval Aurora Tower. The historic centre features narrow carruggi, colourful houses, local shops, cafés and restaurants, while the newer area extends along the seafront. Monterosso is included in the summer itinerary.
Nestled along the rugged Ligurian coast, Vernazza is a picturesque Cinque Terre village known for its vibrant houses, breathtaking beauty, and UNESCO World Heritage status. With car-free winding streets, a lively harbor, and charming shops, Vernazza offers a delightful experience for visitors. At its heart lies the lively Piazza Marconi and the stunning 14th-century Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia. The village boasts scenic hiking trails, such as the famous Sentiero Azzurro, connecting it to neighboring Monterosso al Mare. Vernazza's gastronomic allure lies in its exquisite Ligurian cuisine and locally-produced Cinque Terre white wine.
Corniglia – Winter Itinerary Only During the winter itinerary, visit Corniglia, the smallest of the Cinque Terre villages, perched on a cliff above the Ligurian Sea. Enjoy a short walk through its narrow lanes and take in panoramic coastal views. Corniglia is included only on the winter itinerary.

5WORTH every penny! Best tour ever!!!
Riccardo was phenomenal as our guide. He was so professional and knowledgeable and gave our group the best day ever. We had 8 (6 of us friends) and we explored Manorola, jumped on Ferry and then we were given a choice of a nice long delicious lunch so we all choose that and had a family style dinner with tons of laughter. So relaxing. He took several pictures for us. It was so amazing.

From time of pickup to drop off, everything was like clockwork. Yaris our tour guide was outstanding. His knowledge, patience and humor added to a brilliant day. I would highly recommend this tour, and if you can have Yaris as your guide even better.

5Cinque Terra day trip from Florence a must for your Italian vacation
Fantastic day trip from Florence to Cinque Terra. The trip was an easy van ride to Cinque Terra where we got to walk around three of the 5 towns, including taking a ferry and train between the towns. There was ample time to enjoy these towns...and even stick your feet in the water! Our guides were knowledgeable and fun to be with. They were precise in our schedule and meeting points, and gave good advice on how to spend the time in each city. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Italy.

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.
