"TAKE THE TOUR! It is a very long day, but worth the travel and steps. This tour made me add a long stay at Cinque Terre to my bucket list. Vernazza, one of the villages located in Cinque Terre was the inspiration for the Disney movie “Luca.” There was A LOT of walking on this tour, about 8 miles (without the hike), so wear your walking shoes and bring water. We did climb the stairs (382 stairs or 33 flights) at Corniglia and that was a challenge for sure! They do give you the option of taking a shuttle instead of the stairs. We had a delicious lunch, I personally am not a fan of pesto, but goodness the pesto pasta was to die for. After all, this is the birthplace of Pesto alla Genovese. I highly recommend adding the lunch option. We were able to catch the boat on the way back and it was so lovely and a great way to rest. "

Since then, many travellers enjoyed this part of Italy and fell in love with it. Cinque Terre has been proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage site. "
