Caesar did an outstanding job on this sunset tour. There were only 8-10 people on this boat - it was perhaps the best part of our visit to Cinque Terra. The Nord Est company was kind enough to allow us to move our reservation to the following day after we were unexpectedly arriving late in Vernazza. The preseco and bread with olive oil and salami was fine too. We saw all 5 cinque terre locations from outside, the nice sunset and the evening lights ar Vernazza. Could jump into the water for a few minutes as well. Highly recommend the boat tour.

The small village certainly has a lot of charm and beauty, unfortunately it is so overcrowded that it takes away from that charm. Now I was one of those tourists who did the flying visit on a tour, we were literally there for an hour. There are several overpriced cafes / restaurants to chose from and souvenirs shops selling the same stuff. It’s beautiful, glad I saw the village but I would not return.

One of the five villages of Cinque Terre, we took a tour from La Spezia, we stopped in Portovenere which is a beautiful village, we saw 3 villages from the ferry. After 45 minutes we arrived in Vernazza. Such a beautiful village, good food and nice shops.

Vernazza is the most beautiful town in Cinque Terre. If you have limited time, be sure not to miss it. Monterosso al Mare is mainly a beach, with many deck chairs for rent and gravel sand. Vernazza has more shops, cafes, restaurants and open spaces. Corneglia is very small. Manarola has winding streets and restaurants, with a rocky shore. We had no time for Riomaggiore.

This morning, in our village Monterosso, the day started with heavy rain, thunder, and lightning. However, we had the opportunity to visit two other nearby villages, Vernazza and Cornelius... It was somewhat exhausting since Cornelius has 380 steps to climb to reach the top of the cliff, but might I add, it's well worth a visit.
