expérience privée aux Cinque Terre
Description
Visite privée. De Manarola à Corniglia, à travers les collines surplombant la mer, caractérisées par les terrasses typiques construites avec des murets en pierre sèche qui ont permis aux Ligures, même dans l'Antiquité, de coloniser un territoire rude et difficile. Cinq villages nichés dans la roche, riches en traditions locales et en histoire. Parcourir cette région en empruntant les anciens chemins qui relient les Cinque Terre offre des aperçus d'une beauté incomparable sur la mer et sur un paysage caractérisé par le maquis méditerranéen, les vignobles, les oliveraies et les agrumes. Dégustation de focaccia, de pesto et de vins, accompagnée d'une présentation approfondie des traditions culinaires et viticoles locales. Le circuit est adapté ponctuellement en fonction des intérêts et des capacités physiques des participants.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Visite du village, promenade dans la rue centrale jusqu'au port et à Punta Bonfiglio, avec introduction au parc national des Cinque Terre ; histoire, culture et traditions de ces anciens villages, destination stratégique de la domination romaine, de la république génoise et des incursions des pirates. Observation guidée du territoire caractérisé par des roches sédimentaires surplombant la mer sujettes à l'érosion marine et aux glissements de terrain. Découverte du maquis méditerranéen et des adaptations des plantes côtières au climat salin et à la chaleur estivale.
Montez à Volastra pour découvrir le Parc National des Cinque Terre, inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis 1997 pour l'intégration vertueuse du paysage humain à la nature de ce lieu enchanteur mais extrêmement fragile. Les Cinque Terre ont en effet été cultivées depuis l'Antiquité avec la construction de terrasses soutenues par les fameux "murs de pierres sèches" qui ont préservé jusqu'à nos jours l'intégrité du territoire du risque de fréquents glissements de terrain de la roche sédimentaire soumise à érosion marine. À Volastra, une pause à l'ombre nous attend avec une collation de pesto, focaccia et vin blanc qui nous offrira l'occasion de nous plonger dans les traditions culinaires locales et l'histoire de la production viticole des Cinque Terre.
L'excursion se poursuit entre terrasses et maquis méditerranéen, en passant par des zones humides et des bois de chênes verts, avec une vue incomparable sur toute la zone marine des Cinque Terre et les petits villages cachés parmi les rochers. À Corniglia nous attend une terrasse panoramique qui embrasse toute la journée.
Nous pourrons rejoindre Vernazza à pied ou en train en fonction des forces restantes disponibles. Visite du village caché dans la seule crique naturelle des Cinque Terre. Ici, nous terminerons notre voyage à travers la botanique, la géologie, les traditions et l'histoire de cette terre riche en culture et d'une rare beauté.

Sonia was an amazing guide for Cinque Terre! An effervescent personality and the utmost athlete — she was a joy to spend the day with as our leader on an amazing hike not for the weary! Sonia is also extremely knowledgeable about the land and the plants and the Italian culture. An amazing day that we’d do all over again.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Gretchen! It was an absolute pleasure hiking that trail with you, even on such a challenging, hot day. I truly hope to see you again soon for another wonderful trek together!
Sonia is fabulous! She is from this area and knows her stuff! If you are looking for a private tour, she is your girl! We saw Cinque Terre and Portofino and felt like she was part of our family when our tour was over!
Planning these days together and having the opportunity to show you both Cinque Terre and Portofino—by land and by boat—has been absolutely wonderful. Sharing my favorite spots and restaurants with you was a joy. Sometimes I wish I could see these places for the first time just to experience that initial magic again. Over these three days, I got to explore my home through your eyes and your hearts, making this a uniquely rewarding experience. See you soon, Sonia
We hired Sonia for 3 days to show us the Cinque Terre area. Wow it could not have been better. Two of the days we did some hiking between the town, she gladly adjusted for our fitness level and showed us lots of little hideaway places and unbelievable overlooks. Another day we toured by boat and stopped to see several quaint villages including Portofino. If you want a true Cinque Terre experience go no where else!
We had a wonderful hike with Francesca. She was very knowledgeable and paced the hike to meet the needs of our family. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you, Courtney! We study hard to constantly improve our knowledge of Liguria. Nature reveals a little more of itself to us every day, thanks in large part to the curiosity and thought-provoking questions of our guests. I truly hope to welcome you back to Liguria again soon. Warm regards, Sonia
I’ve done a lot of tours and hikes, but this felt like spending the morning with a knowledgeable friend. Sonia didn’t just guide us—she shared the history, culture, trees, food, and stories that made the region come alive. The homemade focaccia, espresso, and local recommendations were such thoughtful touches. My family of 7 (grandparents, parents and kids 9-18) loved every minute of it. She continues even after the tour to message me recommendations on what else to do in our 5 days here. Honestly, after our first day, I wished she could have joined us for all five days of our trip. That’s how good she was.
Thank you, Jason! I learned so much from all of you during the day we spent together. You showed me firsthand that the most valuable thing we have is family and the deep bonds between different generations. Plants are always teaching us the value of collaboration and leaving behind a worthy legacy, and your family is proof that we can be just as amazing as nature itself! I hope to meet you again in future Sonia
We met our guide, Marco, on the train in Rapallo on our way to Cinque Terra. We chose to hike between Manarola and Cornigla with a stop in Volastra at the top for a snack over the easier train ride between towns. This left less time to tour the towns, but was a great decision for us. Warning: the initial mile of the hike is mostly all up a steel climb. About 1200 feet of elevation gain. It took a while and wore us out, but well worth it. The views are spectacular and once at the top the path is easier along the ridge as you walk thru vineyards. Marco was a wonderful host and share information as we went. He was also patient with us as we stopped to rest on our way up the climb. The entire tour left us wanting to return to the area to see more.
Hello Nick, I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience and are sharing it with other potential hikers! As you know, I always connect with my guests to tailor the experience to their specific interests and passions. My goal is to ensure the tour fits every fitness level and expectation. Thank you so much for appreciating our hard work. I look forward to hosting you again next time! Sonia
Sonia was fantastic! She had a great personality, was energetic and knowledgeable all while being flexible with what we seen. I would highly recommend her.
Thanks a lot. I look forward to meeting you again in future. Sonia
Our time with Sonia exceeded all expectations. She is an expert guide who has a through knowledge of the land, architecture and people based on many years of residing in the area. Our 5 hour tour of the Cinque Terre region was wonderful and we all enjoyed her friendly and kind manner. Her rates were reasonable and a very good value. We all agreed we would be very happy to do another hike and tour with her in the future =))
You are flattering me, as I told you during our hiking, it is a pleasure to spend a day with a group like yours. Good vibes, a lot of curiosity and irony. I also hope to meet you again! Sonia
Our time with Sonia exceeded all expectations. She is an expert guide with a through knowledge of the land, architecture and people based on many years of residing in the area. Her rates were reasonable and a very good value. Our 5 hour tour and hike was so enjoyable and Sonia's friendly and kind manner was so pleasant to be around. We toured this area a few years ago without a guide but Sonia's explanations of what we were looking at brought everything to life for us this time. We would gladly tour again with her in the future!
Sonia lead us for a day thrru 3 villages in Cinque Terre. We booked her directly and her communication was excellent and frequent. She met us directly at our hotel and took care of us all day and returned us to the hotel. Her knowledge of the area and the local plants and trees was amazing. We asked for part of our day to be a hike and she didn't disappoint as she is a mountaineer! We had an amazing day with her and would highly recommend her as a guide
Thank you so much, for having shared the passion for the nature and hiking as well. I wish you many more pleasant moments in my beautiful Liguria.
