WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
Monterosso is the largest of the five coastal villages known as the Cinque Terre. The village is located on hills cultivated with lemons, vines and olives. Its amazing beaches, its beautiful reefs and the sea’s crystal clear waters make this small village one of the most popular of the Italian Riviera.Monterosso is divided in two parts marked by the medieval tower of Aurora. The old town of Monterosso is dominated by the ruins of the castle and characterized by typical narrow medieval streets, carruggi, with multi-coloured terraced houses, shops and restaurants.

CANCELLATION POLICY

This is a very quick experience of Cinque Terre but still a great introduction to the area without organising accommodation. Our favourite place was Manorola where we spent limited time but enough to whet our appetite to return. The boat ride and learning the correct way to navigate the train system were excellent- Monterosso is mostly beach club so no clear opportunities to swim and at the second village where we could swim it was in the boat harbour so not ideal- best swimming would have been at Manorola but not time for that. Our guide was great.

Private transfer by mini van to picturesque towns. However, don’t expect a guided tour. You will be left on your own for most of it. Drivers just drop you off… we did not think it was worth the money.

Our driver and tour guide Yaris was exceptional. He explained the scenery along the way to educate us on our surroundings. He made sure all our needs were met in terms of food, drink and bathroom facilities. Very easy to talk with and knowledgeable on many subjects. Would highly recommend.

Our guide was Roberto, who was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and a good driver. We had only 7 people in our group, and everyone was so nice. Early start from Florence was helpful to avoid some traffic and, more importantly, get ahead of the HORDES of cruise ship and big tour groups. Unlike other tours we’ve done, this was more of a ‘leave the logistics to us’ experience, with lots of free time to explore the bulk of the towns on our own, meeting at set times to move together to the next town. This saved us renting a car and researching how to get there and around the towns. If you want to be led around and have the trip narrated the whole way, this isn’t your tour. We loved it.

Definitely wasn’t worth the money we paid for this “small” group tour. Our driver was very friendly however his English was so hard to understand. We had no commentary about things of interest on the way or on the return trip. Very disappointed as there were 6 of us in the group and we all gave up trying to understand what the driver was saying when we asked a question.

It was a "small" group of 3 small groups. The other 2 operators spoke English well and directed their guests and us.

Most memorable - being left by our tour guide who did not accompany us to train. Driving at incredible speed that was very harrowing.

Grateful to see CT but would not recommend this tour or your company.

The tour was great but there was one detail that took away from the experience. The guide did not have his microphone on for the first 1 1/2 hours so we could not hear him give the history and points of interest along the way and on the way back he only spoke to those in the front seat.
