Your Itinerary

Portovenere

The history of Portovenere is long and interesting, dating back to the 1st Century BC, but most folks simply enjoy it for its charm. The main attractions are the imposing 13th Century church of St. Peter with its striking black and white stripes, and the colorful row houses along the marina that make one think of Portofino. Literature lovers will remember that Lord Byron swam across the gulf of La Spezia from the grotto now named after him to visit Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1822. Portovenere has evolved from fishing community during Roman times to base of the Byzantine fleet after the fall of the Western Roman Empire to gateway to Cinque Terre today: a living picture postcard of lush green terrain set against the brilliant blue sea.

Vernazza

Vernazza is perhaps the most popular of the Cinque Terre villages. The marina area is very lively, with lots of terraces where you can enjoy a refreshment or snack. You will likely be in Vernazza at lunch time (depends on pickup time), and there are many good restaurants featuring seafood and the excellent local white wine. The main street in Vernazza is a great place to shop or pause for some gelato (ice cream). For architectural points of interest there's Castello Doria, Vernazza's medieval fortification. Climb the Belvedere Tower for amazing views (small entry fee). Th church of Santa Margherita di Antiochia is also worth a visit: simple but very lovely.

Corniglia

Of all the Cinque Terre villages, Corniglia has best maintained its Medieval aspect. It's the only village that sits high on the cliffs, not reachable by ferry. The narrow streets are pleasant to stroll, and some good gelato (ice cream) can be found in Corniglia. There are some lovely churches, but the best spot in the village in the public terrace with panoramic views up and down the coast.

The views were amazing, the cities were beautiful and the driver was engaging. She picked us up at the ship and made every attempt to respond to questions and provided information about Cinque Terre. Nicki helped us find a great place for lunch. Would highly recommend going through Papillon. Sharon at Papillon did a great job advising us and organizing this and other tours through the company.

this trip ,Cinque Terre by Viator, was HORRIBLE.The guide spoke no English.Along the way ,never stopped to allow for time to take pictures.Drove as if he was in a Formula One race.>We cut short our trip and asked to return to our ship, several hours before needed.To charge close to a thousand dollars ,was criminal! I would never recommend this trip, or Viator.Previous trips taken with Viator,were most enjoyable.This was a complete fiascos rip-off

As usual Roberto was a fabulous guide!! I have used Papillon on over six other tours in Italy and he always delivers or his compatriot does. We booked this entire cruise just so that we could finally see the Cinque Terre and see it we did. We never could have figured out which ferries to take what time to catch each etc without Roberto's excellent help. He had it all laid out like clockwork and we stayed to the schedule and finally got to see the Cinque Terre. The only thing he could have done better would to have had fewer tourists in each port!! We used Papillon Tours for two in Italy and two in France this time and all were excellent. They know the area and what are the interesting places and can adapt the tours to your schedule.

Cinque Terra é muito bonita e vale a pena conhecer essas 5 cidades. Pena que contratamos um guia em espanhol/português e nos enviaram somente uma motorista que só falava italiano. Lamentável.
