shirazcruiser Posted March 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2023 We've been to Cinque Terre several times, but it was a long time ago. The 2 Celebrity ship tours we're considering for our Livorno port include Portovenere boating to Monterosso and the other a train/bus to Monterosso, Manarola and Rio Maggiore. We love Monterosso, but would appreciate view points on Potovenere vs Manarola & Rio Maggiore. Please, no suggestions on touring independently or with private companies as we're only considering these 2 ship tours. Thanks for any information.

Rare Hlitner Posted March 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2023 If those are the only two choices (we emphasize this) we would opt for the tour that includes Portovenere. Why? It is actually a nice place to visit and the villages of Cinque Terre have been suffering (badly) from over tourism. On a busy spring/summer day, Rio Maggiore can be similar to walking through a crowded train station during rush hour! Hank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare carlmm Posted March 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Portovenere is a nice enough village but not part of the Cinque Terre and thus lacks the specific characteristics and charme of these. To enjoy the uniqueness of the Cinque Terre I would opt for the tour with the beautiful Manarola und Riomaggiore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
