Top Cinque Terre Private Sightseeing Tours

This was, by far, the best part of our visit to Italy. While the towns are amazing to be in, to see them from the water, eat a fresh cooked meal on the boat, swim with the fish and to catch two sunsets, PERFECTO! Guides were fantastic and pointed out historic locations. I recommend doing this and can’t wait to come back and do it again!

This experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Not only was the scenery incredible, but our guide was kind, knowledgeable, interesting, and patient with our 3 kids (5,7, and 9 years). The snacks were delicious, and having a bathroom in a boat with little ones is worth it.

My partner and I were exploring Italy on our honeymoon and decided to take a day trip to Cinque Terre to view the picturesque seaside community. The agency expertly handled booking our train tickets from Milan to Monterosso (and back), and Laura, our guide, was truly fantastic. She was fluent in English, Italian, Spanish, and French (very easy to understand), and most importantly, she knew every detail of the towns we were visiting, from which stairways and trails to take, to the best shops for local food and art, to the best places for photographs. She was able to speak of the history and culture of the towns expertly, and to give us an appreciation for how the land has influenced agriculture, architecture, infrastructure, and tourism over the centuries. We were able to visit 4 of the 5 towns (via the train and the ferry), all except Corniglia (which would have required quite a climb and extra time). Laura truly helped us to maximize the value of our limited time in Cinque Terre (the weather was also perfect) and left us wanting to come back to experience more. Three cheers for our wonderful guide--this experience was worth the cost.
