Cinque Terre Walking Tour with Food and Wine Tastings

OUr guide was super knowledgeable about the area and very flexible to make adjustments to our schedule. The lunch was foccacia bread and the wine tasting was super!

Emilio was a wonderful guide, we snacked on local fare and learned about the area. Emilio was very knowledgeable about the area and a took great care of 3 older ladies.

This tour was perfect! Lasted for about 3 hours where the guide took us from the new part of Monterosso to the old part of the town as he told the story of Cinque Terre that included historical details and highlights. We got to taste limoncella, bear, pesto, wine and focaccia, just perfect! Would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a nice walk where you learn someting as well as getting the essense of Cinque Terre.

While the guide was pleasant, the description of the walking tour was misrepresented. When we were met by the guide, we were informed that the transportation cost to get from one city to the next were not included. Since the trains were on strike, we were required to pay for Ferry service which ran an additional 27 Euro per person, only payable in cash. As the cost of the tour was already $124 per person, this transportation charge was not welcome. I guess that this fell under the "anything not mentioned in the inclusions" section of the description. Furthermore, when met by the guide, we were told that "perhaps I could just pay for lunch" after the tour rather than doing food and wine tastings along the way. We've done food and wine walking tours in many cities around the world, stopping at small, artisanal producers to try the local cuisine. This is what we were expecting which never occurred. We could have easily arranged our own transportation and bought lunch for a lot less money charged by this tour. Waste of time...
