Description

Good to Know

Explore the scenic Italian Riviera! Discover one of Italy’s most amazing destinations, the unforgettable Ligurian Coast of Cinque Terre, UNESCO World Heritage site. Enjoy scenic views of the 5 ingeniously constructed fishing villages on this private tour from Florence, accompanied by your own guide all day. Between the villages you will enjoy scenic train rides along the Ligurian coastline. A relaxing boat ride is also included between 2 of the villages so you can enjoy stunning views of the Cinque Terre from the water. Wander the narrow streets, admire the colourful houses or take the chance to swim in the turquoise water. A multi-course lunch paired with the aromatic wine of Cinque Terre will be served in a restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean sea. Cinque Terre remains Italy's most difficult area to cultivate due to environmental conditions. Dive into traditional Ligurian food and local specialties, such as seafood dishes and pasta with pesto! Ask for 2 hours private boat.

Wonderful experience

It was a wonderful experience to explore chinqui terre with our guide Elizabeth .we explored all 5 villages at our own pace and Elizabeth knew exactly what I wanted so she modified the itinerary accordingly . She took me for a delicious lunch in a restaurant with local specialties. It sounds quite expensive when you book this tour but it’s worth it ,if you want to be away from the crowd and want to do specific things of your choice .I can definitely recommend Elizabeth as your guide

Stefano was an outstanding guide. We went to all five towns. He explained and pointed out interesting things. He also gave us more options of things to do. He arranged a wonderful lunch overlooking the harbor. Overall it was a great day for us.

Fantastic tour - highly recommended

This tour was amazing. I can't believe that we got through all five villages, but we did and never felt rushed and had a delicious leisurely lunch. Angel, our guide, knows the area incredibly well and the crowd flow, so we were able to hit the villages at the optimal times and rarely felt the overwhelming crowds everyone complains about.
