Cinque Terre

I think one of the most relaxing days of our trip, although also one of the more physically strenuous, will be our day hiking the Cinque Terre.  As these five towns are so closely and easily connected by train and boat this will be a great opportunity for everyone to define their own level of activity.

Our private day tour of the Cinque Terre will start at Riomaggiore, the first village of the Cinque Terre where we will start on an easy walk along La Via dell’Amore "Lovers Walk" trail that affords magnificent views of the coastline, and forms part of the famous coastal footpath that links all of the Cinque Terre (five villages).

We'll then continue on to the village of Manarola with a guide who will accompany us to catch the boat to transfer to Vernazza, the most beautiful village of the Cinque Terre, stop for lunch and exploration in Vernazza.

 After Vernazza, we'll drive up to the quaint village of Corniglia to enjoy some of the best views of the Cinque Terre. Perched on the hillside, surrounded by terraced slopes of vineyards you can celebrate your day on the Cinque Terre with a glass of the famous local wine.

PLEASE NOTE: As a Private tour of the Cinque Terre, we can manipulate this itinerary to suit the particular requirements of your family. A popular alternative to the above itinerary would be to continue to walk along the famous coastalk footpath from Manorola to Vernazza, instead of catching the boat. This would involve a more strenuous two-hour walk, and would mean that there would no time to visit Corniglia.
