Manarola Wine Tasting Experience with Maria

In the charming village of Vernazza, immerse yourself in the culinary traditions of Cinque Terre with a hands-on pesto and pasta class. Craft your own "mandilli"—a delicate fresh egg pasta—using simple ingredients like flour, egg, and water (or "sugeli" with no egg). While your dough rests, you'll create authentic pesto from basil, pine nuts, and garlic, pounding it to perfection in a traditional mortar. After boiling your pasta, enjoy it paired with the fresh pesto right from the mortar. Complete your meal with a glass of local white wine or a soft drink for the kids, and savor a refreshing Limoncino on the rocks to top off this delightful Italian experience.

Our guide, Giancarlo, was extremely friendly and helpful throughout this entire day trip. He drove safely and would give us a quick background summary with restaurant/wine recommendations before we separated at each stop. We did ride in an 8 passenger van which was fine, but be aware in case you are prone to motion sickness in the back of a vehicle.

The transportation was a...

The transportation was a two-deck bus which was very comfortable. The driver, Antonio, did an excellent job. Our guide, Sara D., was amazing. She was funny, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. The train trips were very crowded but, luckily, short. The towns we saw, Vernazza and Monterosso, were very charming and it was great to finally see these colorful towns in person.

Cinque Terre from the water

This sunset boat tour to see the Cinque Terre villages from the water is a must see. Our experienced real captain had local knowledge and memories from when he was a boy growing up in the area. You will see each unique village for what it offers and have spectacular views basked in golden light as the sun slowly sets behind you. Drinks are offered and a swim in a pristine little bay with a sandy bottom and clear water. Take a towel and something warm for the ride home. Do yourself a favour and do something like this while you're in this world heritage site.

Perfect day, perfect tour

We had the most amazing day. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Because of that we had the described itinerary with plenty of time at each stop. Jonathan was an amazing tour guide. With limited time in Italy but wanting to see as much as possible, I'm so glad we booked this tour.

Really Enjoyable Boat Trip along the Cinque Terre coastline

We had a really enjoyable time on the Cinque Terre Hybrid Boat Trip from Monterosso. The crew (Luca & Eleanor, I think) were excellent. Luca shared stories about the various villages when we stopped. Eleanor keep us supplied with drinks & took photos and generally made sure everyone as having a good time. The views from the boat are fantastic and the swim stop was fun too! Recommended !

Yummy pesto

Fun activity to do with family. I make pesto at home but still learned alot about how it is made in the region and came away with some hints that I will use. Local wine and cheese was also nice addition to class. Would recommend class to anyone wanting to know more about region. You also do not have to know anything about cooking to have fun in the class.

Great to see Cinque Terre from the sea

A great way to see the 5 towns from the water, and get a different perspective from being on land. Sea was a little choppy but the captain navigated it well so it was a comfortable trip. Extremely friendly guide and captain, generous snacks and beverages.

Classic Cinque Terre

Sue_P, Sept 2026

Stress free way to see Cinque Terre

Beautiful views. Be aware that walking is uneven and there are some steep inclines if you have any concerns with mobility. We loved that we got to experience the train and a boat as we went to the various destination’s. Our tour guide Veronica was knowledgeable about the area and we had just the right amount of time at each location to get a feel of the area and a little walking around on our own. Great way to see places if you don’t have more than a couple days in the area.

Best it could be under weather circumstances

Our guide Loradana did everything in her power to get us through the day with the horrific weather. Unfortunately we didn’t see much because if an orange alert but I must say she was amazing. We will definitely be back and will book this excursion. Hopefully we can have her again!

We were also able to swim and snorkel. It was a beautiful, delicious, and relaxing night on the water. I would recommend this specific boat tour to anyone!

Best part of our trip

We were so pleasantly surprised - we booked this tour without knowing too much about what we were doing. It was the perfect morning on Ivan's boat. Our favorite part was the crystal clear bright blue waters he took us to and we jumped in and swam for a while. The boat was perfectly sized and roomy for our family of four. Highly recommend!

Best Way to Spend the Evening in 5terre!

Incredible views you can only see from the water. It was a long tour, but no surprises and it was worth the money. The boat wasn’t overcrowded, there was a nice selection of beverages, and pro tip: when you get the option to go swimming in the gorgeous turquoise water… say yes!
