When you book a private tour of the Cinque Terre with Travel Italy Guru, we take care of all the logistics for you. The most common and efficient way to travel between the villages is by train, and your train tickets are included in the tour.
For a different perspective, using the ferry or a private boat is also an option, offering stunning coastal views. Just contact us with your specific preferences, and we'll craft the perfect transportation solution for your group.
How do we travel between the five villages (train, boat, walking)? Are tickets included?
Cinque Terre boasts incredible hiking trails, most, like the popular Via dell'Amore (Lover's Lane), are quite short and can often be included in your private tour, depending on their current accessibility. Other famous hikes typically require at least half a day to complete and are generally not part of the standard tour itinerary.
If you're eager to hike, we recommend doing so either before or after your private tour. Alternatively, we can arrange a special hiking guide to accompany you specifically for a dedicated hiking experience.
Are the famous hiking trails open, and will the tour include hiking sections?
However, we believe everyone should experience its beauty! Simply let us know your fitness level and any mobility concerns, and we will put together a customized itinerary that allows you to see the best of the Cinque Terre with a comfortable amount of walking, minimizing or even avoiding stairs if preferred.
How much walking is involved? Is it strenuous? Are there many stairs?
The Cinque Terre is a naturally hilly area, and exploring parts of it does involve walking up inclines and navigating stairs.
Absolutely! Travel Italy Guru specializes in personalized tours of the Cinque Terre, meaning we never offer a "one-size-fits-all" experience. We focus entirely on the specific villages and sites that interest you most, making recommendations based on your preferences.

Can we customize the itinerary to spend more time in certain villages or skip others?

Options include, but are not limited to: comprehensive winery tours, authentic farm tours with tastings of local products, fascinating olive mill visits, charming village tours in the area, breathtaking boat tours with snorkeling breaks, private cooking lessons in a local family home, and exclusive olive oil tastings with an expert.
Can you set up specific interest activities like a wine tasting, cooking class, or a visit to a local artisan?
