The 10 Best Private Tours in Monterosso al Mare, Liguria

April 5, 2022 Milan Banda

The last of the five villages along the Cinque Terre strip, Monterosso al Mare is the most visited, largely because it has the only sizable sand beach and the biggest hotels. Though it can get very crowded with tourists during the peak summer months, Monterosso is still delightful. The old town area, separated from the more modern resort area by the Aurora tower, is home to the ruins of a medieval castle and San Francesco church, which houses an important Van Dyck painting of the crucifixion.

Absolutely the best day I had while visiting Italy. Angel was our guide for the entire day. At the first winery we had the pleasure of starting the visit with a tour of the vineyard in a horse-drawn cart, followed by a fantastic lunch with km0 products. Visit to the village of Suvereto and finish with more wine in a family winery where they create one of the most appreciated wines in Italy. I can say with certainty that this day was one of, if not the best day of our vacation in Tuscany.

At the first village you will stop, it seems to go back in time! Riomaggiore, where your driver drops you off, is a gem, with its alleys, its castle and the typical colored houses overlooking the small harbor of the seaside village. After some leisure time to spend in this picturesque village, take the boat or train (your own epenses) to reach Manarola, another wonderful village. Here your driver will pick you up to drive you to Vernazza, probably the most charming of the Cinque Terre. Here you will have lunch in one of the typical restaurants. After lunch, you will take the route to Monterosso (by boat or train at your expenses) and enjoy a pleasant walk along the waterfront. at the end of your visit in this wonderful village, you will go back to Genoa with your dirver Please note that it's not possible to move by car between the villages, ths is why the route shoud be made by trains or boats.

Our family used this wonderful company for a day trip from the port. From the driver, Simone, waiting for us (with a smile) at the port terminal as we exited the cruise boat to telling our group of seven all about Tuscany (as we drove towards Florence), this adventure was outstanding. Simone (being born and raised in Pisa), was well versed on past and current happenings of this beautiful area. His recommendation for a place for lunch could not have been more spot on. It turned out to be the highlight of our 12 day holiday. Simone comes with our highest recommendation and we look forward to using your company services in the near future. Thank you again!
