Description

Discover the beautiful Cinque Terre, one of Italy's most scenic secrets, on a day trip from Milan. Meaning 'five lands', the five lovely fishing villages of this UNESCO World Heritage-listed site are strung along the cliffs bordering the Ligurian Sea, linked by numerous walking paths and a train line.

Introduction

Departing Milan, you'll arrive at Golfo dei Poeti and visit the characteristic village of Porto Venere. From here, take a boat trip to Monterosso al Mare alongside the famous Cinque Terre. It is one of the five villages of Cinque Terre in the province of La Spezia, part of the region of Liguria. In Monterosso, the biggest of the five lands, you'll have free time to explore it and its beach that runs along the most of the coastline. After lunch (free lunch), train transfer to Manarola to begin a gentle 20-minute stroll (Via dell'Amore) along a scenic coastal path to Riomaggiore, with romantic vistas over the Mediterranean Sea.

Riomaggiore is the Cinque Terre's fifth village. You'll have free time here, perhaps venturing down by the wharf where fishing boats line the shore or sampling locally produced wine from the town's historic vineyards.

You'll then continue on the final leg of your scenic day trip by train to La Spezia, where your coach will be waiting to take you back to Milan.

This was also excellent. Just missed the bus though.I wish the hotel where we stayed could have told us that we can take the train to the meeting point. 7 am is quite a rush!

This trip was amazing!!!! My new favourite place in Italy. Absolutely breathtaking!! I would recommend this to anyone! The only thing I would change is I would love to have had more time in the towns but it was already a long day so I know that wouldn't have been completely possible!

Excellent day tour - long and hot but fitted everything in that we wanted to do, seamlessly.

Such a fantastic day trip! We had such a lovely time, we thought it was well worth a 3 and a half hour train journey to go back again by ourselves the day after. The food at the restaurant suggested by our tour guide was amazing - the seafood risotto for 2 is a definite must. Make sure to take some spending money though!! You can enjoy a drink or two at the hilltop cafes, find gifts and souvenirs in one of the many tourist shops or market stalls and note that lunch is not included in the price of the tour.

EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY

Great tour and a good way to experience Cinque Terre in just one day. The guide was very good and there was a suitable balance of travel and time to spend exploring various stops, given the ambitous itinerary. The scenery is stunning.

Would definitely recommend this tour if, like me, you want to see as much as possible in a long day trip.

My only issue is that it is only offered once a week from Milan so I had to extend my stay for an extra night to enable me to do it.

Thanks for the great experience!

Our guide was excellent. This is not an easy trip as we need to pay attention to move around the five islands with ease. Logistically speaking. The guide was excellent and we saw spectacular views.
