A coach ride brings you to Manarola, and you will have time to tour this quaint village.
Board a ferry and sail to Vernazza, where you will have free time to explore.
Back on the ferry, you will reach Monterosso -- the last of the five villages of the Cinque Terre. This town is divided into two distinct parts -- San Cristoforo Hill, and the old maritime village protected by a rock spur. This is the only village with a wide beach and a seafront.
After your guide points out the highlights of Monterosso, you'll have some free time to continue your exploration.
Feel free to purchase lunch if you wish (at your own expense) and enjoy shopping on your own.
Return by local train to La Spezia or to Levanto and board the coach for the drive back to Livorno.
Notes:
Lunch is not included. You will have time to purchase lunch at your own expense during the tour. Bring local currency, as some vendors do not accept credit cards or US dollars. In the event the ferries/boats are not operating, local bus and train transportation will be substituted. If you wish to swim at Monterosso, wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk. Expect crowding in the villages and a long line while waiting to board the boat; boarding is strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience. Tour requires extensive walking and standing. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, gravel, and many steps. Not accessible for guests using mobility devices such as wheelchairs or scooters. This tour is very popular and typically sells out; alternative tours with similar content may be available, including 18619 Cinque Terre & Portovenere UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
