Worth it to have a full Cinque Terre in 1. Day

We recommend this one day full expérience especially in you have only 1 day. Departure in La spezia to the Nice harbour of Venazzia, then hiking to the top to have a panoramic view on the small villages of Cinque Terre. Giuliano was our guide (english, a bit of French, only 4 people in the group). The hiking requires good shoes and could be difficult for children under 10. But Giuliano knows the trails with good view. The train ticket was usable after the tour so that we stayed longer to visit. With the tour you see 4 out of 5 (Monterosso is less typical but you can swim in sand beaches).

Honestly, I chose this excursion because all others were full, and I couldn't be more happy. The walk in the mediterranean bush and cineyards is absolutely fantastic. The look of villages from thr top of the hills let You breathless. And last but not least our guide Mr.. Giuliano CIAPETTI was verycprofessional, helpfull.

It is a nice experience! See the landscape from above, the beauty of the sea, of the colorful houses... what peace, what beauty!

Fantastic view over the sea. Tiring ascent, which is compensated by the view. Insanely competent and friendly guide. Top!!

Very good exercise, wonderful view and a different way to enjoy Cinque Terre
