The tour guide is very friendly, and the time for the 4 scenic spots is just right, enough to explore the entire community. The weather is super good, so I can take pictures well, and the group members are also very cute☺️

The guide Cecily is just super. She is friendly and gave clear instructions on when and where to meet at each stop. For first timer it is recommended to take the join-in tout, as there are many different places that involved trains and boat

I participated in the transportation plan, and there was a coffee bar at the meeting point, where I could buy breakfast! The bus arrived at Levanto at 9:15. The tour guide told us that the meeting time is 15:45 and you can start to move around freely. Buy a one-day ticket at the station ticket gate and it will come with a timetable. You can stay in the big town for 1-1.5 hours, which is great for hiking and shopping. . I suggest you go all the way back to the furthest town, R. The fried seafood in this town is 8 yuan!

The scenery of Cinque Terre is very beautiful, especially the beautiful scenery of the seaside and the windowsills of the villages on the slopes. The bird's-eye view of everything from above is really amazing❗️
