Meet your expert tour escort and your fellow travelers in Milan city centre and begin your adventure aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned coach, where you can relax and enjoy stunning views as the journey unfolds.
Escape to a Mediterranean paradise on an unforgettable trip to Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its five picturesque fishing villages nestled between dramatic cliffs and the azure Ligurian Sea. Each village boasts its own unique charm, making this excursion a feast for the senses.
Arriving at the Cinque Terre National Park, you’ll have the freedom to explore with a guide or set off on your own, immersing yourself in the natural beauty and cultural richness of this iconic region. In case you select the "Full Tour Option", Riomaggiore will be the first stop of the itinerary. Riomaggiore, the southernmost village of Cinque Terre, is a picturesque gem with colorful houses clinging to steep cliffs. Its charming harbor, winding alleys, and scenic views make it a must-visit. Enjoy a stroll through its historic center, admire the stunning coastline, and experience the local cuisine.
In case you select the "Full Tour Option", Manarola will be the second stop of the itinerary. Follow your tour leader to discover one of the most picturesque villages of Cinque Terre, which enchants visitors with its colorful houses perched on rugged cliffs. Famous for its breathtaking coastal views, charming harbor, and scenic vineyards, it’s a paradise for photographers and nature lovers alike.
In case you select the "Full Tour Option", Monterosso will be the third stop of the itinerary. Monterosso al Mare, the largest village of Cinque Terre, is famous for its beautiful sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and charming old town. Divided into two parts—historic and modern—it's perfect for relaxation and exploration. Stroll along its seaside promenade, visit the medieval streets, and taste the world celebrated "limoncino", a lemon-based Ligurian specialty. With its stunning coastline and laid-back atmosphere, Monterosso is a true Riviera paradise!

Traveler reviews
First, I recommend...
First, I recommend travelers avoid tours in more than a single language since that splits time between 2 or more languages. Overall, this was not a good tour because our guide was hard to follow, physically & sometimes linguistically. We were crowded onto a swamped train car, someone fainted, we lost some in our group for a while, had to get back on train after taking one in wrong direction, and on and on. This was a very stressful unpleasant experience, one that made us vacationers actually work harder than we should on a tour that we paid a professional guide to do the work so we can sit back and focus on enjoying the day trip.
Communication would have been better for the group as a whole
Great tour. Except I feel like the guide could have been more helpful with explaining how short the stops were and help guide people to find the most picturesque spots and to guide them to grab and go food. A-lot if people had unrealistic expectations. She could have passed around laminated maps to guide us. A-lot of people were asking the same questions. We specially asked where the taxi stand was at the train station and she said everywhere. Not too helpful. But she did manage everyone and no one was left behind. Lol.
Tre di Cinque
A little better clarity around initial meeting place would have helped since so many tour buses around. Overall we really enjoyed the trip and being able to see Cinque Terre. Our guide, Francesca, was the best. Hate we didn't get to go to the beach. The a/c on the bus could have been better throughout. Once again, great experience with opportunities to see 3 of the 5 towns.
A Breather From No End in Sight Wars
This is a great tour to see Cinque Terre if you do not have enough time to explore the 5 villages and see the breathtaking views of colorful houses on cliffs, the pristine turquoise Ligurian Sea, the beaches and eat delicious and savory fish and chips! Our driver and Alicia, our tour guide deserves more than an A+! Absolutely recommended tour!
