Private CINQUE TERRE DISCOVERY with Seafood Lunch

Spellbinding views, cliffside villages, wondrous vineyards Duration 12 hours About Spend an unforgettable day exploring one of the world’s most spectacular coastal areas, the heart-stopping Cinque Terre! Set amid some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on the planet, these five ingeniously constructed fishing villages, Unesco World Heritage Site since 1997, are something of a current-age Eden… discover fairyland with the privileges of an exclusive private experience! Meet your dedicated private English-speaking driver and travel to the Riviera in full comfort. Rooted in antiquity, Cinque Terre’s five villages date from the early medieval period. During the day you will travel on foot, by boat and by train - aboard the amazing 19th-century railway line that works its way through a labyrinth of cliffside tunnels - to admire the pretty villages and learn about the local history and heritage from your expert guide. Admire the seafront views and the stupefying layered terraced cliffs resplendent with miraculous-looking fields and gardens intervalled by long and sinuous stone walls. Get to know the little towns - Riomaggiore, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Monterosso - perched high on the dramatic cliffs overlooking the emerald green sea. Savor the crisp breezes hiking/walking along the famous pedestrian paths, and the finest local seafood and wines in the area’s most delicious typical restaurant. Crown your day with a relaxed walk through the stunning seafront vineyards, which miraculously survive in the salty air and yield delectable local blends. Hear about the area's unique grape harvesting techniques and take in the view, and peaceful atmosphere. Weather and sea conditions permitting your private tour will also include a boat ride.
