The Cinque Terre, or five lands, a "UNESCO world heritage site", is a coastal grouping of five medieval fisherman's villages just north of La Spezia. These characteristic villages are famous for their breath-taking views of the coast and their unique architecture and landscape. The territory of Cinque Terre is a result of a thousand years of work by peasant farmers who transformed the steep cliffs into fertile terraces for the cultivation of vines and other crops, a landscape made and maintained with hard work and passion.

Our suggested tour starts from Riomaggiore. Walking down to the ancient marina, surrounded by medieval dwellings survived in spite of their location on the cliffs, will take clients to the beginning of the "Via dell'Amore". This trail carved in the cliffs is an easy walk, immersed in spectacular views over the coastline, to the next village Manarola, which can be reached in 20 minutes. Vegetation, rock formation, scents, colours and sceneries are constantly changing along the walkway making your day outing an unforgettable experience. During the day you are encouraged to taste the famous "Focaccia" which is typical to the area, the Cinque Terre sweet wine "Schiacchetrà" and last but not the least enjoy the great variety of seafood. From Manarola to Vernazza is either by train or by boat (fee not included in the tour) while your driver will meet up with you at the next town to collect you and drive you back along a very spectacular road.

We will be glad to personalize the tour to your interests, wishes and needs even during the day.
