The name Cinque Terre refers to five dramatically situated villages that cling to the rocky Ligurian cliffs. Visit two on this exceptional full-day adventure. Enjoy a scenic ride to the popular Italian Riviera and Manarola, one of the villages that make up the "Five Lands," all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon arrival in Manarola, your local guide will introduce the history of the area with a guided walk, followed by free time. Next, board a motorboat for a 45-minute Mediterranean coastal cruise along the whole Cinque Terre, passing the village of Corniglia which you will enjoy in the distance. Stop in Vernazza and enjoy some free time. Disembark in Monterosso, the largest and most "metropolitan" of the five towns. Sample the flavors of the area with a pesto tasting accompanied by a glass of local wine. Then, explore independently and lunch on your own. Monterosso is where you'll find the only sandy beach in the area. Finally, take a local train to Levanto, a neighboring village, where your motorcoach is waiting to return to Livorno and your ship.
Special Notes:
Please note, free time may be modified to adhere to local regulations and guidelines for COVID 19 protocols.The Path of Love has been closed due to a landside. Until reopened, tour will start with Manarola and then from there by boat (or by train in case of rough sea) to Monterosso with a stop in Vernazza. A pesto tasting is offered in alternative in Monterosso.
In case of poor sea conditions, this will operate by bus and train. Passengers will go to Manarola by bus and then proceed by train to Vernazza and Monterosso.
In the Fall, boat services along Cinque Terre stop operating at the beginning of November. Therefore, in November and December, this tour will operate by bus and train, and not by boat.
Please be aware that the tour involves a steep slope at Manarola and flights of stairs in the other villages.
Wear appropriate shoes for cobblestones and trails.
The Cinque Terre is a popular destination; expect crowding in the villages. You will likely encounter a long line while waiting to board the boat; boarding is strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.
Due to the popularity of this tour we highly recommend booking early, however, should the tour sell-out we recommend Cinque Terre and Portovenere, UNESCO Sites as an alternative.
Euros are required for purchasing lunch and refreshments. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
