Italy Travel Tours

To have an escorted trip to Cinque Terre, you have the choice of which mode of transportation you desire. There are either escorted tours by bus with large groups of people, or in your own or rented car.

The bus tours are more economical in price, but the tours by car give you more freedom of the places you visit, along with the time spent at each one.

One of the reasons the Cinque Terre villages and the surrounding National Park are such a wonderful vacation destination is their unspoiled beauty. This has been made possible, in part, by being included as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Parts of this area are places like no other in the world. This region has 5 villages that appear to be suspended between the earth and sea. They are a wondrous site clinging to the cliffs while being surrounded by green, rolling hills.

Some of the escorted tours include visits to the nearby Lakes of Italy that include Como and Orta, which as a tiny island of San Giulio. The five villages of this region are Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, all surrounded with rocks to climb or the ocean to swim in.

Up the rugged coast is the Italian Riviera. This is where most tourists go to. The reason Cinque Terre is not a popular destination is because the ruggedness of the terrain makes it challenging for the driver, so it is generally bypassed on the typical tours of Italy.

The average cost of an escorted trip to Cinque Terre is close to $4000. This can be reduced by $200 if your vacation is in September or October, and $500 less if taken in June.
