This was an exceptional tour to lovely seaside villages with our knowledgeable and charming guide, Marissa. We traveled by car, boat, train and foot, enjoying the scenery, vineyards, hiking, shopping, beach and of course, the food. The restaurant chosen for lunch was excellent, where we also tried delicious local wine. We highly recommend this tour as the perfect way to experience Cinque Terre.
