The 10 Best Things to do Good for Big Groups in Cinque Terre, Liguria

February 14, 2022 Hector Krause

You'll find rugged beauty and a slow pace in the Cinque Terre. Named for the five towns of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, this portion of the Italian Riviera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cars aren't allowed, so take local trains or ferries to go from town to town—or walk one of the spectacular trails that connect them.

We’ll depart from the harbor in Monterosso, the northernmost village, and cruise along the coast of the Cinque Terre, while enjoying an Italian aperitivo on board. You'll get to know the other guests on the boat while learning about the history of the area, told to you by your English speaking guide. Weather permitting, we’ll stop along the way in one of the pristine coves that only a small boat can enter for a swim in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. For Lunch Tours (€150 per person): We’ll stop in one of the villages for lunch at one of the area’s best family-run restaurants. Here we’ll enjoy a gourmet seafood lunch (alternatives available!) – be prepared for a feast!! For evening Tapas Tours (€100 per person): We’ll stop in one of the villages for fresh tapas at one of the area’s best family-run restaurants. We also offer a Day Tour that does not stop in any village and allows more time for swimming.

If you're afraid the Cinque Terre has lost its charm and become too touristy, then you should come out with us on either a private tour or a small group experience. Our private tours are organized to avoid the crowds as much as humanly possible on secondary trails or back roads to see the heart of the villages and national park, and are family-friendly (we have three kids ourselves, and know what this means!). We can design great options for all travelers and all tastes, including private shore excursions from cruises. And as of the 2020 season, we are offering a unique small group experience that dives into the cultural soul of the Cinque Terre: its wine. The "Born to be Wine" tour is accessible for all abilities and bookable directly through Tripadvisor/Viator. Drop us a line! We always respond to email within 24 hours, often faster. We'll bring you the best, most authentic Cinque Terre experience you can imagine.

Church of San Francesco - Capuchin Friars Monastery

Constructed from 1618 from the Capuchin Friars who came in Monterosso, the Church of San Francesco contains some fine art including a Crucifixion by Antoon Van Dyck, and sono other important Itaian painters from XVII and XVIII centuries. Near the church there is the Monastery of Capuchin Friars a very ancient structure with great garden where Friars live. It is a place of Peace and spirituality with a gorgeus view on the seaside. Here you can live the experience of St. Francis of Assis: semplicity and poverty and show his love for God and the beauty of nature and creation.

Definitely worth the many steps up! Nice areas to stop along the way for pictures and the statue of St Francis. Very interesting history of the church and monastery and unusual grave site at the top.Well worth it!

Footpath Monterosso - Vernazza

Reviewed By CToohill - Whanganui, New Zealand

Breathtaking views from this (sometimes) challenging hike. Now there is a ticket to buy to be able to do the hike, but it means that the path is well looked after and very safe! It was a great experience! And when finally Monterosso came to sight, we had a feeling of achievement!!

Cinque Terre Trails

Reviewed By pradumana2016

Visited 3 towns out of 5 in cinque terre, Rio maggiore, Manarola and Monterosso. Drove first to Manarola from La Spezia, car park is about 1 km uphill, then have to walk to the sea, Manarola is most picturesque among the five towns, must visit, walk back upto the parking was little tiring, however the train station is very near to the sea and right at the bottom. Next was Monterosso, this is only town with a sandy beach. Parking is right next to the beach. Good for a swim. Last was Rio maggiore on way back to la spezia, walk is about 500-700 Meter from car park which is again uphill, with train station in between. Good restaurants at Rio maggiore and Manorola , specially one on the hill top at Manarola. The other two towns are more or less same and can be skipped if running short of time.
