Time flies in this village, and soon it will be time to move on. Your guide will lead you to the nearby town of Manarola.
- Manarola - MANAROLA: Known for its colorful homes and exquisite white wine, Manarola is an ancient fishing village. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the sparkling blue sea, the perfectly stacked houses, and the lush grapevines in the distance. Your assistant will point out the best spots for photos (Manarola is famous for its stunning views on @Instagram). With an hour to explore, you can wander through this picturesque town at your leisure. Next, it’s time to head to Monterosso!
- Monterosso al Mare - MONTEROSSO AL MARE: The train journey to Monterosso takes about ten minutes. Your tour guide will offer plenty of suggestions for enjoying your time in Monterosso. This historic fishing town is renowned for its expansive white beaches and crystal-clear waters. Explore the ancient town, savor some pesto pasta or delicious seafood for lunch, and find a spot on the beautiful coastline to relax under the sun, swim in the stunning ocean, and capture memorable photos! You’ll have approximately two hours in Monterosso. The next stop is Vernazza, and you can choose to travel by boat (a 10-minute ride with a small additional fee payable on-site) or continue the adventure on the Cinque Terre train for a few minutes.

The travel time is about five minutes, and you’ll have around an hour in this charming waterfront town. Visit the quaint harbor, known as “the Pearl of the Cinque Terre.” If you’re lucky, you might witness the local fishermen returning from their morning catch in small blue boats. Enjoy the picturesque view of Vernazza’s emerald waters and colorful houses. As the sun begins to set, it casts golden hues on the sea. Spend some time wandering through the historic streets, picking up any last-minute artisanal souvenirs. It’s time to head back… your guide will lead you to the train to La Spezia.

Travel from Montecatini by auto and train to Cinque Terre - Letizia was an awesome host and so helpful with all of our questions. She gave us time to explore on our own and made sure we had a successful trip.

Fabulous, loved it, great day and memories! - Having someone take the stress out of navigating train times and tickets and to have the knowledge of the area what to see and do made this day trip really enjoyable. We would not have had such an enjoyable time or been able experience all areas of cinque Terre without our guide.
Loved it and so happy we took the tour. I saw big your groups walking round and was so thankful for our small personalised tour/guide. Well worth it Thank you Letizia 😀😀😀😀😀

A day not to be missed! - What a beautiful day spent with our guide Eunice accompanied by his friendly dad Luigi. They guided us on this wonderful Cinque-Terre route, and all in French even if Eunice believes she does not speak our language well, we could understand everything she said. Cinque-Terre is a paradise in itself! Our only disappointment is the sea crossing from Monterosso to Vernazza, it is very short but the details of the excursion specify it. Many thanks also for the excellent service and dedication of Raneiri Viaggi from Montecatini Terme (I unfortunately do not remember the name of the one who served us) who despite the fact that there was no more room for the Thursday group that is 2 days after we showed up at their office, got us this visit with Eunice. We advise without any hesitation this agency including naturally the day trip to Cinque Terre.

Relaxing way to visit Cinque Terre - My wife and I really enjoyed this tour! It was nice to be able to take the train into four of the cities of Cinque Terre without having to worry about the details and planning. Our guide was wonderful as she explained a little bit about each city and gave us free time to explore. We were able to see four of the five cities have an aperitif at one city and lunch at another. The best part was that it was a small group and we didn’t have to worry about sitting on a bus with 50 other people going down those windy roads.

Rather rent a car and drive yourself - Everything got delayed and explanation by the guide was very short inadequate. Self guided tours on the net make more sense and at your own pace.

Not enough time..too busy schedule - The coach was packed when we were picked up and we were unable to sit together. The tour itself was very busy and we had limited time at each village. The tour would be better if it included the best village plus a boat trip with ample time to spend in the village to explore and relax.
