Riomaggiore, like the other Cinque Terre, is squeezed between the Ligurian Sea and the steep mountain range that detaches itself from the Apennines at Mount Zatta and descends in a south-eastern direction, acting as a watershed between the Val di Vara and the coastal area. The historic center, whose original nucleus dates back to the 13th century, is located in the valley of the Rio Maggiore stream, the ancient Rivus Major from which the village takes its name
In Manarola, can relax by bathing in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, taste typical products in the local shops or wander around this small fishing village part of a territory declared a UNESCO heritage site
Vernazza is the second of the towns that make up the Cinque Terre, in a bay between the municipalities of Monterosso al Mare and Riomaggiore. It also includes the subsequent village of Corniglia, a fraction of it.
Monterosso al Mare is at the center of a small natural gulf, protected by a modest artificial reef, to the east of Punta Mesco on the La Spezia Riviera. It constitutes the westernmost part of the Cinque Terre.

Our incredible tour guide Tiziana (Titi) made this the most incredible trip! The first train to Cinque Terre was VERY crowded and I didn't want to go any further! Titi walked with me down to the sea to see about taking a boat back. However, the waters were too rough. She encouraged us to continue as the first train is always the most crowded. And she was RIGHT!!!! The rest of the trains were good, and the incredible sights and scenery of Cinque Terre were beyond amazing! She also arranged a lunch for our group that was so good with a Meringue Ice Cream that had us begging for the recipe. Titi IS the tour!!!! Without her leading the group it just wouldn't have been that great!

The tour guide was great but not worth the cost of the tour. It would have been better to purchase a daily Train ticket and spend unlimited time in each village.

This is a MUST DO experience that you will absolutely adore. Our tour guide Mateo was fantastic, and gave us the right amount of time in each of the stops. Thank you so much for hosting our family - while we wish we could go back soon, the memories and photographs will have to suffice for now.

First, let me say, a visit to Cinque Terre is a must if you’re in the region! Simply stunning coast and charming “villages” dotting the coast. Our group of 10 opted to tour by train vs. boat since some in our group get sea sick and after the train tour I believe it was the more efficient and timely way to see the area. Linda, our guide, was very knowledgeable and was great at corralling the entire tour group which was roughly 20 people. Despite how much we all enjoyed Linda as our guide, there was one problem: the entire group didn’t speak English! We had signed up for an English speaking tour. Everything Linda communicated to us (details about the area or instructions for meet up times) had to be delivered in English, Spanish and Italian; and while Linda was very competent in all three languages it required more time spent communicating and took away from our time touring. Then the tour that we booked was suppose to include only 3 stops. Linda explained that we were, in fact, going to visit 4 of the 5 towns (seeing 4 of the 5 towns sounded like a bonus in the beginning of the day) but with all the time spent communicating everything in three languages we had 30 minutes to tour the last stop! We all agreed that it would’ve been better to have just done the 3 stops and had more time in each town. Also, our group all felt that Linda, as the guide, had no control over any of the negatives, that’s on the tour company misrepresenting and adjusting the itinerary. Linda was a real trooper and very good guide and Cinque Terre was still a very special place to visit!

We arrived at the meeting location at the designated time and the tour operator told us the tour was cancelled due to a “orange weather alert”. Claimed that I should have received an email but I never did. They also stated that I would receive a full refund… waiting to see if that happens.
Unfortunately, we had to cancel the tour due to force majeure circumstances. Because of the severe weather alert, we are not permitted to bring groups to the villages for safety reasons. We attempted to contact all passengers, but there may have been connectivity issues while you were on the cruise. Regarding the refund, it is fully guaranteed. However, the refund request must be initiated by you through the booking platform. Once you submit the request, we will promptly authorize it.
The tour guide, Lara, was very attentive and friendly. She took good care of the group. The tour was very nice. We visited four places. The trains to the locations were sometimes very crowded (few seats). I would recommend the tour to anyone (as long as they are not mobility impaired).

What an absolutely AMAZING trip. The views, people, sights, and sounds were incredible. BUT there’s a “secret ingredient” that made this day truly the very BEST DAY. Our guide Titi! She was the highlight of the day. Her knowledge, spirit, and smiles made the trip even more special.

The tour was difficult for those with walking difficulties.
Our guied must us right at the port and was easy to find with her flag and labeled clothing. She was fantastic and made sure we were safe while having a great time! I appreciate that she took care of getting the train tickets and navigated getting on and off the train. She was knowledgeable and took us to the most picture perfect spots!
