Itinerary
Here we hike the hillsides talking about the vineyards and the history of Cinque Terre. We pass farmers, who we sometimes stop to talk to, and locals as we go through the villages. We want you to feel like one of us here. Not being on a bus tour with 40 people being run through the village in 20 minutes. Your guide does not leave your side while in the village. This is truly a personal experience one has with us. The trek goes from Riomaggiore up & back towards Groppo before heading down into Manarola. It will take about 4 hours of hiking, photos & learning before you can get a bite to eat in Manarola. The rest is an easy train ride to the beach resort of Monterosso. Here you walk along the boardwalk through the tunnel to Old Town. Tour this small village before catching the Ferry Boat back along the Cinque Terre Coastline to Riomaggiore. Here you walk up through the marina & to the train station where we meet in the morning. Changes can be made to accommodate anyone who does not want to hike. Ask for details.

Pall is an amazing guide. He met with us before to talk about the trip and also gave us a quick tour of Reggimiore. He is an American but living here for over 20 years with a very unique perspective. Learned so much about the nature,walls, etc. he was so very mindful of the walking level and made it attainable and fun. The best!

Tour was great, learned about the history of the area, the farming and fishing culture, and the history of the villages. Pall was a great guide, very knowledgeable of the area, as a 22 year resident, he really likes to showcase his home.

Our hike with Pall was the highlight of our weekend in Cinque Terra. All of the 5 star reviews that are associated with this tour are accurate. Pall brings the history and natural wonders of Cinque Terra to life as someone who has lived there for 20+ years. He was super helpful even after the tour was over with recommendations and advice for the rest of our trip. Thanks again for everything Pall!

Thankful doesn't even begin to describe how my husband and I feel after this experience. Pall's tour was one of a kind and our favorite part of our 3-week Italy trip! He was very communicative way before our tour date, and I felt very comfortable knowing where to go and how to find him the morning of.
We hiked on unique paths, learned so much about the nature, produce, and history of Cinque Terre that we would have never gotten out of a tour book (especially Rick Steves :P). In terms of hiking, my husband and I are both ok fit, but Pall made sure to take breaks to explain things, and it did not feel as hard as it would have been doing it on our own. Pall aso knew almost every local in each town we explored, and it made us feel like we also belonged to the community.
If you are staying in Cinque Terre for any amount of time, this tour is absolutely worth it and is honestly a steal for the price! Take the time to book ahead with Pall and you will walk away having the time of your life like we did!

Pall was very kind and customized our trip due to us day tripping from Rome. He was very knowledgeable and has a passion for sharing the stories from these villages! It was one of our favorite tours we’ve ever booked through Viator.

This was such an amazing tour and so glad that we did this. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the area and the history and he taught us so much about why the villages came about and that made the cinque terre so much more special and we appreciate it so much more. Pall met us outside our lodging in Manarola and we started the trek upwards there towards Riomaggiore. It was roughly 4 hours of trekking, which was at a very manageable with frequent stops to show us the plants, fruit greets, herbs and he also took great photos of us with amazing views. We then had lunch with amazing food and views before taking a train to Monterosso and then ferry back down to Manarola.

Paul our guide took us on impressive secret view trails that only a local would know. Our photos speak for themselves! You can’t do this alone! Thank you, Paul, for all your knowledge and recommendations.

Woke up early to drive to La Spezia. Took train to Riomaggiore. The first of the Cinque Terre villages. Met up with 75 year old Pall with TrekGuyd. He provided one of the most magnificent tours! Most people hike only 4 of the 47 available trails. But he takes you through vineyards and on trails ... and you don't see anyone! He provided great history and an overview of the villages as well! It was incredible! We hiked for 4 hours in the morning up from Riomaggiore inland to Groppo and down to Manarola, where we ate lunch. We then trained it to Monterossa and hopped on a the ferry back to Riomaggiore. What an incredibly day!
