Excellent ride!...
Excellent ride! Beautiful landscapes. Marina was very kind, always cheerful and eager to explain the most beautiful points! Excellent bus and careful driver. It is a long ride, with a lot of walking, but it is worth it!

Cinque Terre’s Experience
Wear comfortable shoes. It’s a long day, but so worth it. The weather did not permit to go on the boat ride. On the bright side, we had more time to explore the village.
