explore cinque terre

Hi.  We’re Stefano and Rachel Demartin-Stefano was born and raised in Italy.  Are you fascinated with Italy but want to see it off the beaten path?  Get out of the hot, crowded cities and come explore Cinque Terre with us.  It is a small community of 5 cities linked together by a beautiful pathway.  It is so beautiful it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  It really is that beautiful.  Let us show you how to enjoy each village for what makes it unique.  The fresh foods.  Charming swimming holes.  The clean air.  There is nothing like it in all the world.  So many of our friends say that when they travel, there is a division between explore and relax.  Well the GREAT news is, in Cinque Terre you can do both.  It is just small enough that you can explore.  With beautiful beaches you’ll have time to relax too.  No long drives to see more and explore.  No days entirely full of sun bathing.  There is something for everyone on this itinerary.  And depending on the group, we can easily customize the week.

We have traveled a bit and know that when you travel there is nothing like hiring a local guide.  The locals know the in’s and out’s of the culture.  When with them, you feel protected and that in any situation you have a point of reference.  We also know that experiencing a location is that much better with them.  For this reason, we have decided to offer this hosted tour.  You need to see Cinque Terre.  But you also need to see it the way a local would.  Let us be the ones to introduce you with our small groups and private transportation.  We will take care of the details so you can get the most out of your relaxing vacation exploring the Italian seaside.  

Other recommended tours for our adventurous crowd that would be well versed travelers of Italy are: Northern Italy Eats and Hike the Dolomites are both phenomenal tours that get you off that beaten path and right to where the locals will be enjoying themselves along side you.  We encourage you to do two tours back to back to make the most of your time in Italy.
