About this activity

Discover the beauty of Cinque Terre, where colorful villages rise dramatically above the Mediterranean. Explore Monterosso with its beautiful beach & medieval center; Vernazza known for its charming harbor; Manarola one of the coast’s most iconic villages; and Corniglia perched high above the sea with spectacular views.

In Riomaggiore visit a scenic local winery, learn about Cinque Terre’s ancient wine-making traditions, and enjoy a premium tasting of local wines. Wine tasting is available for an additional €70 per person.

The tour includes round-trip transfer between the cruise terminal and train station, but does not include the Cinque Terre day pass. The experience is primarily a walking tour, and while all five villages can be visited in one day, we recommend focusing on three or four (max) villages for a more relaxed experience.

The tours are guided by handpicked professional tour guides, fluent in English with licensed touristic vehicles.

Itinerary

Monterosso

1 h 30 min

The largest of the Cinque Terre villages, Monterosso is the only one with a true sandy beach. Explore its charming medieval center, where narrow alleyways, historic churches, an old tower, local shops, and authentic Ligurian flavors create a relaxed seaside atmosphere. It is the perfect introduction to the beauty and character of Cinque Terre.
Vernazza

1 h 30 min

Often considered the most romantic of the five villages, Vernazza is a picture-perfect harbor town built around a tiny natural port. Colorful houses rise dramatically from the water, while the remains of its medieval castle offer beautiful views over the coastline. With its intimate streets and spectacular setting, Vernazza captures the timeless charm of Cinque Terre.
Manarola

one hour

Manarola is perhaps the most iconic and photographed village in Cinque Terre. Perched dramatically on a rocky cliff above the Mediterranean, its colorful houses seem to cascade toward the sea, creating one of the region’s most unforgettable views. Take a stroll through its picturesque streets and enjoy the breathtaking scenery that has made Manarola famous around the world.
Riomaggiore

one hour

The easternmost village of Cinque Terre, Riomaggiore is a colorful maze of steep lanes, stone houses, and small terraces overlooking the sea. Its picturesque harbor and dramatic coastal setting make it one of the most atmospheric villages in the region. Here, the experience goes beyond sightseeing, with the opportunity to visit a beautiful local winery and discover the ancient wine-making traditions of Cinque Terre.
Corniglia

one hour

Perched high above the Mediterranean, Corniglia is the only Cinque Terre village without direct access to the sea. Reaching its historic center involves climbing a long flight of steps, but those who make the effort are rewarded with beautiful coastal views and a quieter, more authentic atmosphere. It is particularly appealing for travelers who enjoy walking and discovering places away from the main crowds.
