Buildings cling to a remote stretch of the Riviera coastline, along with with vineyard and orchard terraces.

Great tour to Cinque Terra
Gayle_T, Jul 2023
It was a great day although it was a big day. Our driver/guide was very good and the tour great. Had a wonderful lunch - a typical Italian lunch - very much enjoyed.
Great tour.

This tour made it easy to visit the Cinque Terre area which is pretty difficult on your own. The tour was only 6 people and we had enough time to visit and explore each area.
Such a wonderful day!

We had an amazing tour with Veronica!!! We got to 3 out of 5 of the towns—which is impressive in one day. She knew all the best areas for photos, and graciously took several photos for us! She was interesting and my kids loved her as well. Lunch was fantastic. A three course lunch with wine that was delicious. We travel extensively and have done many tours, but this one was special. We enjoyed it immensely!
