Group travel experience

We stayed walking distance from the train station in La Spezia. We first wandered around Riomaggiore and then took the train to Manarola where we took a pesto making class at Nessun Dorma. From there we took the train to Corniglia which is the only town that’s not at sea level. It’s on top of a cliff so we’ve got a lot of stairs to climb from the station. We hiked from Corniglia to Vernazza, took a gelato break, and then took a water taxi to Monterosso where we watched the sunset and had dinner before taking the train back to La Spezia.
