Cinque Terre Day Trip from Milan with Cruise

At first I had the simple idea that I could visit Cinque Terre on my own. However, after having actually gone, I think the transfers between bus, train and boat would have been difficult to do on my own. I was able to si...ght see with peace of mind thanks to this tour.

The World Heritage view of grape fields that cling to the mountain sides on our way from Milano, the beautiful La Spezia port viewable from atop a plateau, the numerous multi-colored homes that you cannot stop looking at..., I enjoyed all of the things on this tour. Of the 5 Cinque Terre cities, we went to Manarola by bus. It was fantastic to walk around in the town as well as see the homes built on the cliff edge from a higher elevation. From there we went to Monterosso by train. During lunch, I could see the parasols of the visitors sun bathing on the beach, reinforcing the sensation of a European vacation. If I had more time I would have liked to stay for several days in this beautiful town surrounded by ocean and mountain. After seeing the other towns from boat, we eventually arrived at Porto Venere. I had visited Cinque Terre before on my own, but seeing the villages from several perspectives on bus, train and boat made this trip especially enjoyable. It was a satisfying day at an iconic northern Italy seaside destination. <Translated by Veltra.com>

Really well organised tour that balances long distance to and from Milan with seeing the major sites. The bus is modern and comfortable.

There's enough free time in each village to eat/get a drink/do some souvenir sh...opping.

One thing we didn't realise was that there is time to take a short swim; we wish we'd brought our bathers.
