We hit all five villages of Cinque Terre in 1 day. We couldn't have done it without our awesome guide & sommelier Fabio. He was full of facts, funny & just fun to be with. We felt very comfortable with him & coincidently he had briefly lived not far from our home in Jersey. Fabio's knowledge of & connections in each village made everything go so smoothly. He knew everybody! Fabio brilliantly kept us ahead of the larger group tours & crowds by utilizing trains, the ferry and visiting the villages out of order. By number we did them 3-4-2-5-1, taking the ferry all the way from Monterosso(5) to Reomaggore(1) to finish. We sipped espresso, shopped, snapped photos, swirled wine & had a delicious lunch. Cinque Terre is uniquely beautiful & can certainly sell itself. A great guide like Fabio can help you enjoy it to the fullest. He took care of all the logistics leaving us with nothing left to do, but smile, smile smile.
