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.

This is an area not to be missed, and this tour gives you most of the villages. Our guide was excellent and keeping us in the shade and pointing out things and giving us enough time at each village. People should know that they have to walk 30 minutes to the train station where a taxi would be about €15. Although it’s a nice walk, I would suggest probably sharing a taxi and taking that ride to and from the train station. There is plenty of walking on the trip. The train was efficient and clean. Be ready for a beautiful experience, but don’t expect it not to be hot and quite busy. Our guide navigated how and which villages to see first to avoid too many tourists. I would also suggest bringing a bathing suit and jumping in to cool down. The food is quite good in the villages, especially the fried calamari. The gelato is fantastic.

Matteo was a great guide! He was very informative, provided a lot of information about each town, and made sure we got from location to location seamlessly. The towns are gorgeous, definitely recommend. I would keep in mind that there is a 25-30 min walk to and from the train station to the cruise port.

Tizanna was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and caring. Most of the tourist in our group was Spanish speaking and e were the only 2 who spoke English. She had made sure she translated what she spoke in Spanish to English to us. The locations we visited were all so beautiful make sure you take tour to see them all.

Tour was really just a guide to the trains from town to town. Did not escort you once off trains in villages. Little info given. Gave too much free time at 3rd village and missed train and didn’t make it to 4th village. People were lost on the train and expected to run in the heat to train. Better off doing train pass on your own.

The tour started with a 30 minute walk from the cruise ship terminal to the train station. It was hot and I have a bad ankle, so we decided to take a taxi. The hop on hop off bus said they would take us and others there for 10 euro each, and said our ticket was good all day. When we got to the station we didn't know where to meet! We found our guide and boarded the train. There were 4 stops where we got off, had a 5 minute orientation and sometimes a little walk, and then we were on our own to explore for an hour or so. The guide said we were supposed to have headphones but that person didn't show up. So I don't know if we would have more tour or not. I would recommend you could do the trip on your own; however you would have to plan the times and research each town on where to go.
