For a more memorable experience, we offer a private vehicle with driver and a 7-hour English-speaking hiking guide. Your driver will be waiting for you at the Santa Margherita Ligure pier where your cruise shuttle docks, holding a sign with your name on it

From the very beginning, your day unfolds smoothly as you leave the port behind and travel along the scenic Ligurian coast toward the colorful village of Levanto, where your hiking experience begins.

Walking through the Cinque Terre is not simply a hike — it is a journey through a landscape shaped over centuries.

As the trail winds through pine forests and terraced vineyards, you will follow paths carved by generations of locals who have transformed steep cliffs into cultivated land. With every step, the scenery opens to reveal the deep blue sea below and the rugged coastline stretching into the distance.

At times, the silence is broken only by the sound of the wind and the distant waves.

It is in these moments that Cinque Terre reveals its true beauty — simple, raw, and unforgettable.

Along the way, your guide will share insights into the region’s winemaking traditions, the construction of the famous dry-stone walls, and the daily life of the communities that continue to live and work in this unique environment.

Upon reaching Corniglia, you will stop for a simple wine tasting, where you can enjoy local wines accompanied by light regional snacks such as focaccia or vegetable pies — a relaxed and authentic moment reflecting the local lifestyle.

In the afternoon, you will continue your journey by train along the coast to Monterosso, offering a different perspective of the Cinque Terre from the sea.

After some time to explore this charming village, your driver will meet you and take you comfortably back to your cruise port.

This is not just a hike.
This is Cinque Terre — experienced through its landscapes, its traditions, and its rhythm of life.
