What To Expect
Check-in and departure point
Borgo Storico di Manarola
Built in the valley of the torrente Groppo, until 1950 the stream which runs through the town was completely uncovered and 11 stone bridges allowed the people to cross from one side to the other. Over the next thirty years the stream was gradually covered over. The ancient village was destroyed by Saracen pirates (in 849) and the surviving people fled in land to live. When the seas were made safe again in the 11th century, people came back to settle here under the protection of the Republic of Genova. By the 1200's cultivation of vines was not only established but the wine they produced was sought after. The church of San Lorenzo was begun in 1338. The patron saint is celebrated on the 10th of August with a procession through the streets carrying a statue of him. The castle which protected the town from pirates is now a private home, you can see the garden from the panoramic walk, it is on the rock immediately above the port. Manarola is now famous for its Christmas nativity scene which is the biggest in the world. Figures outlined in thousands of lights cover the hillside. Also an Easter scene is made.

5.00Great tour. We saw all 5 villages. Bring good walking shoes there’s loads of walking. It was so much fun. Not for the elderly or those that aren’t physically able to climb stairs. The guides went out of their way to help. It’s a big tour group but managed well by dividing us into smaller groups. History and commentary sling the way was great also.
Lovely experience

5.00Wow!!! Gorgeous views, lots of exercise and the perfect guide. Gerry did a great job explaining everything, not to mention he was very patient on those hikes to those ideal picture locations. Loved hearing all about the rich history of the surrounding areas and the amazing lunch suggestion. So glad we were able to take in the beauty of Cinque Terra and Pisa with our guide and group! Great day!
