Itinerary
Visit Cinque Terre with your private official tour guide (available for 4 hours). The Cinque Terre is a chain of centuries-old seaside villages on the rugged coast of the Italian Riviera. In each of the five towns, colorful houses and vineyards clung to steep terraces, and docks were filled with fishing boats and rickshaws preparing seafood specialties and floating sauces. Ligurian language, pesto. The cliffside hiking trail, Sentiero Azzurro, connects the villages and offers stunning sea views. You will have the opportunity to visit Manarola, Monterosso, and Riomaggiore.
The southernmost village of Cinque Terre, Riomaggiore is known for its wine and historic character. Meander through its narrow alleys, witness colorful houses stacked on each other, and relish the panoramic views of the Ligurian Sea.
With its scenic vineyards, Manarola offers a picturesque landscape. It's perfect for lovers of Italian wines, with local vintners providing tastings of the region's finest.
Set atop a 100m-high cliff, this village provides breathtaking sea vistas. Unlike its counterparts, it's not directly adjacent to the sea, offering a unique perspective of terraced vineyards and olive groves.
A pure gem, this village boasts a beautiful harbor, a castle, and an ancient church. Its square is lined with vibrant cafes where one can savor seafood caught just hours earlier.
The only village in Cinque Terre with a proper sandy beach. Its Old and New towns offer visitors both history and relaxation.

Hi just wanted to say thank you and well done . We had an absolutely brilliant day at the Cinque Terre on Saturday 12/7/25. From the person who made first contact regarding booking this tour (Pilar Colletti) to both the driver (Andrea) and the amazing guide (Debbie) everything went as planned with no issues/ hiccups - we managed to do 4 out of the 5 villages which exceeded my minimum expectations - special mention to Debbie t tried her best to accommodate my goals and aims for the day. Thank you again and definitely no hesitation recommending your company / considering booking further bespoke tours in the future. Kind regards, Mr Kok Ngan

This was a delightful way to experience Cinque Terre. We had private ride (1+ hour) from Genova and then we met our phenomenal guide Coco in Levanto. We took a train to Monorola explored a little then ferry to Vernazza passing Corniglia set high on the cliffs. We enjoyed piadini (little pita like sandwiches) and focaccia and then I explored with Coco while my teens did a little mild cliff jumping. We then took ferry to Monterosso where we wandered the streets, sampled amazing lemonade (they are known for this) and then dipped in the sea at the public beach. We took the train a short trip back to Levanto where we met our driver Mario who returned us safely to Genoa. Essentially 9am to 5pm round trip. It left us wanting more so we will be back! My only criticism of this tour was that it was very expensive and we had to purchase train tickets twice (for six people) and then two ferry tickets twice again. I would absolutely recommend this tour but having to buy 12 train tickets and 12 ferry tickets and also snacks (gelato of course), lunch and lemonade added up to a lot more. And you cannot go wrong with tour guide Coco!
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that your day in Cinque Terre was such a memorable experience for you and your family.
