What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Borgo Storico di Manarola, Manarola Italy
Explore Manarola by foot or relax in a cafe or bar. From Manarola enjoy a shared boat ride to Monterosso. The harbor area is filled with colorful rowing boats and becomes the main sunbathing and swimming spot of the village from morning until dusk. In fact, this is the perfect place to spend a lazy day sunbathing and watching people jumping off the cliffs. Although there is no real beach here, it has some of the best deep-water swimming around. Along the main road the boats are pulled onto dry land every time the sea is rough. The village is all ups and downs, with steep narrow alleys carrugi, leading to the sea.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: 19018 Vernazza Italy
Nestled along the rugged Ligurian coast, Vernazza is a picturesque Cinque Terre village known for its vibrant houses, breathtaking beauty, and UNESCO World Heritage status. With car-free winding streets, a lively harbor, and charming shops, Vernazza offers a delightful experience for visitors.
At its heart lies the lively Piazza Marconi and the stunning 14th-century Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia. The village boasts scenic hiking trails, such as the famous Sentiero Azzurro, connecting it to neighboring Monterosso al Mare. Vernazza's gastronomic allure lies in its exquisite Ligurian cuisine and locally-produced Cinque Terre white wine.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Monterosso, Monterosso, Province of Ancona, Marche
Monterosso is the largest of the five coastal villages known as the Cinque Terre. The village is located on hills cultivated with lemons, vines and olives.

The old town of Monterosso is dominated by the ruins of the castle and characterized by typical narrow medieval streets, carruggi, with multi-coloured terraced houses, shops and restaurants.

What an incredible trip! Our driver Gianni was kind, knowledgeable, and a master at navigating the roads through busy Firenze and windy Cinque Terre. We were in a small group and ultimately it almost felt like a private tour. Cinque Terre is well worth the visit with the beautiful landscape and charming shops. This tour made it easy, filling it with fun memories and great conversation. I could not recommend booking this trip with Gianni enough! Ask for him, he’s the best!Robin_K
