Overview

Explore the breathtaking coast in South Liguria, near the city of La Spezia. You will visit the main 5 terre towns - Manarola, Monterosso, Riomaggiore, and Vernazza, enjoying an unforgettable experience. This guided tour includes private bus transportation, train and ferry boat tickets.
For many reasons, you won’t get there comfortably on a do-it-yourself trip. This unique landscape, suspended on steep cliffs overlooking the sea, is not that easy to reach. While things to do in 5 Terre are many, having a dedicated guide can help you focus on the bests. Finding the best paths, the ones you desire. Walking on the most romantic trails or finding the most suggestive views, the one that you will bring forever with you.

In the end, having a guide is also useful for those who are coming by train. In fact, coming on your own you will not save much money. While joining a guided tour you surely save time and earn an inestimable value in terms of energies saved and stress avoided.
