About this tour
Spend six to seven hours exploring the Ligurian coast without the usual hiking grind. You'll visit Portovenere, the atmospheric gateway to Cinque Terre, then drive to Corniglia—the clifftop village with views across the entire National Park. Light walking lets you wander the town, grab lunch at a local spot, and browse shops. Private transport and a guide handle the logistics, leaving you to soak up the scenery without the crowds that swarm the famous coastal trails.

- Corniglia's dramatic cliff-top position and panoramic vistas

What to expect
After pickup, you'll travel to Portovenere first, where you can stroll the harbourfront and absorb the town's character. The drive then takes you to Corniglia, perched high above the coast with unobstructed views of the entire park sprawling below. A gentle walk around town gives you the feel of the place without exhaustion. You'll have a few hours to explore cafés, local shops, and find your own lunch. The return journey winds back down the coast with your guide providing context along the way.
Good to know
Lunch is not included; choose from local trattorias in Corniglia or Portovenere. Wear comfortable shoes for light walking. Bring sun protection—cliff-top villages offer little shade. Infant seats available if needed. Gratuities are at your discretion.
