Finding a guide for Cinque Terre

Trying to find a good guide for Cinque Terre can be daunting. How do you know what you are getting when you make a booking? Price and value are always the dominating factors. We see many tour companies rushing through Cinque Terre with 30-50 people being herded like cattle and being told that they have 25 minutes to spend in each town. There is no value in that. You will take some pictures and never really know what you were seeing.

Cinque Terre is a magical place with vast amounts of history on its shoulders that can still be seen and experienced today. But you need to know what you are looking at. Our tours are personal and that means it is just YOU. One-on-one, or however many are in your group. We will guide you every step of the way. It is no wonder we were voted Best guide in Cinque Terre by our customers.

There is a lot to know, not just historical facts and tales but also valuable information about train times, prices, strikes, safety and more. Make sure you you hire the right guide so that you can have an experience of a lifetime.

Season Greetings from Cinque Terre!

This time of the year has come once again and want to make sure you all get to see Manarola’s Christmas lighting display. For some of you it is your first time and for others it bring back memories of your time in Cinque Terre.

Nativity Scene in Manarola

It takes many days to transform this hillside into this wonderful lighting display. Maybe not as big as the display in Lyon, France or the Christmas markets of Germany, but to us in little Cinque Terre is a fun time.  As always we wish you and your families a wonderful and a safe Holiday. Remember now that all of you have trekked with us that you are now locals. For you who are coming this year, this is what you have to look forward to.

Remember to keep it touch and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. You will find all sorts of fun things on these sites as we travel around. Also look at our upcoming trip to Kenya, this is a special trek/tour and going out about every month of the year.

Sincerely, your Trekguyd Team!

Don't Lose Out

With all the people coming to Cinque Terre these days, we don't want you miss out of what is really here to see. It isn't all about the #2 blue trail that you read in the books, its about Cinque Terre, the beauty, the understanding of how these people worked so hard and feeling as being part of all of this. To come here and run up and down the hillsides, snapping a photo here and there is not being here. We want you to come and stay, see the villages at night with its lights on and the crowds have gone away. Watch a beautiful sunset, sip a glass of sciacchetra' with some wonderful hard goat cheese. Wander around the back alleys and think how the people here know all these special ways to get around so quickly. (just don't get lost) Plus the wonderful hillsides which hold all the secrets of Cinque Terre. The way they grew grapes from the past and the hard work that it took to make a living. This is what everyone misses out when they come with their little books on the area. These books are written by people who don't live here, they too are just tourist. 

We want you to really see this beautiful part of Italy. Take you away from crowds that fill up the streets and trains from 10 am to 6 pm. These same people who don't stay are the ones missing out. We try our best to bring to life the real Cinque Terre and the understanding of it hard working people. Trekguyd will always go beyond normal tour companies to help its clients achieve the best possible time in Cinque Terre.  Come Visit Cinque Terre & Discover The Real Beauty.
