Description

Join this private tour to discover the stunning Ligurian lands called "Cinque Terre", a precious Unesco World Heritage site since 1997. You will meet your private guide in Monterosso and then you will board the train "5 Terre Express". This is a dedicated train which goes through these 5 fishing villages and will allow you to discover them at your own pace and time. In fact, you'll have the chance to decide, together with your expert guide which lands you prefer to visit, or if you prefer to see all of them, that's possible too! Get ready for a wonderful scenery, coloured houses built on impressive cliffsides, a stunning landscape all around you, in a place where cars were banned over a decade ago. Listen to the history of these magic lands: Cinque Terre's five villages date from the early medieval period. Monterosso, the oldest, was founded in AD 643, and Riomaggiore came next, purportedly established in the 8th century by Greek settlers fleeing persecution in Byzantium.

Ilaria was an excellent...

Ilaria was an excellent guide, we went to places that only locals would know about. Ilaria told us so much history about Chinque Terre that you would hear about going through the villages on your own, she also showed us places for the best photos and experiences.

Our private tour was amazing. We got to see 4 of 5 towns, had a delicious lunch, even got in a little shopping. Gabe was fantastic and knew exactly where to take us.

Book it, you won’t regret it.

We had a wonderful day exploring Cinque Terre with Marta. She has a vast knowledge of the area and took us to many interesting spots where we could learn about the history of the area or take an iconic picture. Marta supported us with train ticket purchases and planned our day to suit our needs.
