The first stop of your half-day private tour will be Manarola, in the Cinque Terre Unesco heritage site. This little village will amaze you with its world famous multicoulored houses. Together with your guide, you will have the opportunity to stroll through the alleys of the town centre and along the rocks that stretch out to sea. You will also admire the castle, built in the middle ages to protect Manarola's citizens from Saracen invasions. If you wish, your private guide will also take you to a walk into the green vineyards, built on the hilltop.
After the visit of Manarola, it will be time for the next stop of the half day private tour: Vernazza. You will then take a boat from Manarola to Vernazza (weather and sea conditions permitting), a true triumph of art and colour, built on naturally terraced land.

Here you will have the opportunity to stroll around the alleys of the town centre and to enjoy the beautiful views. The visit of Vernazza will also be the last part of the tour.
