Stop At: La Spezia, La Spezia, Province of La Spezia, Liguria

We will arrive in La Spezia, the coastal city closest to Cinque Terre. The bus driver will drop our group off at the local train station. Follow your guide onto the famous coastal train, which transports between the five towns of Cinque Terre. Enjoy views of the bright blue water as we zoom towards Manarola. The train ride will take approximately 10 minutes.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Manarola, Manarola, Cinque Terre, Italian Riviera, Liguria

After exiting the train, you will be greeted by an absolute PARADISE! As you look to the right, you will see vibrant, green vineyards nestled into the cliffs. To your left, you will see a panorama of endless, brightly colored buildings seeming to glow under the sun. Straight ahead, the cobalt sea will be glittering with gentle waves as fishermen head out for their day of work. Enjoy exploring the town, dipping your toes in the sea, picking up some souvenirs, and taking plenty of photos! Your guide will be happy to point out the famous viewpoint (an instagrammer’s dream come true)! You will have about an hour of free time in Manarola.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Riomaggiore, Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre, Italian Riviera, Liguria

Next, we will head to Riomaggiore. This ancient fishing village is filled with hidden gems… Follow your tour guide to our favorite restaurant to pick up some fresh pesto pizza and focaccia!

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Monterosso al Mare, Monterosso al Mare, Cinque Terre, Italian Riviera, Liguria

After a 10 minute train ride to Monterosso, your guide will lead you directly to the wide, white sand beach, pointing out some of our favorite local spots along the way! You will have about 4 hours to relax on the beach, swim in the crystal clear water, and explore the town! Grab a pina colada, a cone of fresh fried seafood, and a perfect afternoon under the sun awaits!
*If you prefer to explore another town in Cinque Terre, your guide will be happy to give you instructions to reach Vernazza, another town with a much smaller beach.

    Going to Cinque, Terre? Be sure to look up Sandro- BEST TOUR GUIDE ! He did such a magnificent job of answering questions and keeping our group together. The trip itself was AWESOME and so much more memorable and enjoyable with the help of this lovely person and guide. Sandro made the trip most pleasant and memorable. Having been surrounded with the knowledge of area made our trip so much fun!

    These guys are the best! Everything was so easy since the whole trip and activities were already planned for us. Cinque Terre was absolutely beautiful and having guides gave us a unique experience and better than if we had just walked around on our own without any information. Find one of the guides around town or at their office in Florence and they'll give you a special discount code :)
