Highlights
- Monterosso al Mare - The northernmost village of the Cinque Terre is Monterosso, which is divided into two sides: the historic center and the “new” side called Fegina, with a pedestrian tunnel that connects the two. Monterosso is larger than the other towns and is the only one that offers beach services, making it the most visited of the Cinque Terre.
- Vernazza - Vernazza the smallest of the Cinque Terre, and commonly known as the most fascinating with a beautiful marina and the Church of Santa Margherita d’Antiochia which stands right on the water. Here you will also see the Torre del Belforte which sits right on the harbor as a protective lighthouse for the small village.
- Corniglia - Corniglia: lying 100 meters high on a cliff, Corniglia is the only one of the towns without a port and has a panoramic terrace from which you can see Manarola and Riomaggiore to the south and Vernazza and Monterosso to the north.
- Manarola - Manarola: is located at the other end of the Via del Amore and is part of the municipality of Riomaggiore. Known for its wine production, Manarola produces the only dessert wine called Sciacchetrà found only in this area.
- Riomaggiore - While we continue to sail along the coast of the Cinque Terre villages, we meet Riomaggiore. With brightly colored houses built vertically on the surrounding hills, Riomaggiore is the second largest of the five towns and is widely known for excellent diving spots off its coast in the marine protected area that stretches all along the Cinque Terre. Here you will also see where the famous Via del Amore pedestrian path begins, leading to nearby Manarola.

Fabulous, relaxing, perfect - Simone was entertaining and made sure that we enjoyed our afternoon. This private tour of Cinque Terre was a splurge for my daughter and I, but we had an amazing time and it was one of the best things about our entire trip to France and Italy. Relaxing and beautiful

10/10 - the best experience on Viator - Simone has a true passion for Cinque Terre and an amazing personality - so you can guess this tour was amazing. He was super knowledgeable and also gave my fiancé and I time to speak amongst ourselves and soak everything in. He was happy to take photos and stop to let us swim around a bit.
The pesto was AMAZING! Truly an experience that is a must-have. Escape from the crowds and book this tour.

Our boat captain Simone... - Our boat captain Simone was a wonderful guide. The pesto was a delicious snack and probably the best pesto I’ve ever had. Beautiful day and beautiful scenery. Amazing way to see Cinque Terre.

Perfect Day in Cinque Terre - Incredible! Simone was the perfect skipper - very nice boat, interesting conversation, great (homemade) snacks and as much beer/wine/bubbles as you want. He knew all of the best spots to jump in for a swim and timed it perfectly. Exceeded all expectations and great value. Only wish that we had been able to extend our time!

Highlight of our holiday - If you are visiting Cinque Terre I would strongly recommend booking this boat tour. My girlfriend and I both agree it was the highlight of our vacation. Onboard the boat you will find a very well sized cushioned sun lounge and a nice shaded area. Simone (our captain) was very welcoming, knowledgeable and provided drinks + food. Simone took us to some amazing swimming spots, taught us a lot about the local villages, took plenty of photos for us, provided us was his Mum’s famous pesto and provided snorkelling equipment. Thank you to Simone for an amazing experience.
