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

Disappointing tour experience
This tour did not live up to our expectations. The tour guide was not very engaging and did not offer any enthusiasm or tell us where we were going or any history of the locations. Even more disappointing we did not stop at the locations we were promised. We understand there was a train strike in Italy during our tour and wound up on a ferry that was full of hundreds and hundreds of people making it very uncomfortable. Overall, the experience was not what we expected. I would not book this again.

Magnificent discovery of the Cinque Terre
I really liked this day which allows you to visit the Cinque Terre (except Corniglia because there are more than 300 steps to climb) in a little over 5 hours. It gives a very nice overview of these magnificent villages that are truly worth discovering...
The 1.5-hour stops in some villages are sometimes a bit tight, but there is not much choice to discover as much as possible in a limited time.
Friendly guide, giving good advice for the visit.
You still need to be in good physical shape to do this excursion.

The towns in Cinque Terre are beautiful! But there is a lot of walking and many hills!! Our guide kept a pretty fast pace and never checked back if the group was keeping up!

Absolutely recommended for running enthusiasts
Absolutely worth seeing
Our guide Linda was great!!
You can easily rack up 10-15 kilometers if you walk all the routes and enjoy the panoramic views.
It is recommended to pack a small towel. That way you can dip your feet in the ocean.
Off the main tourist roads, you can find cheaper options for snacks.
The souvenirs are similar in all places in terms of appearance and prices.
Train connections work well 👍
For people with limited mobility and those with small children, the tour is more than challenging. Not all elevators work and some platforms require a big step into the train..

Never in hot weather. Be...
Never in hot weather. Be aware of frequent train schedule delays. No need to have tour guide. Doing tour on your own is not hard.
