Welcome to Cinque Terre, Italy 
3-Day Itinerary
Your Adventure Starts Here...
Most people would love to travel solo or take their families to cool destinations like Cinque Terre — to wander through colorful seaside villages, enjoy delicious pasta and gelato, hike scenic trails, and relax by the water. But planning that perfect trip? Not so easy…
- You end up getting stuck trying to figure out where to stay, how to get around, and attractions to visit, maximizing your time
- You feel overwhelmed and worried about wasting money or missing the moments your family will remember forever.
- You’re unsure how to book transportation and lodging without overpaying or falling into tourist traps.
- You believe family time is precious — and creating lifelong memories shouldn’t be stressful or complicated. It should feel exciting, effortless, and joyful.
The Biggest Problem in Travel Planning? TIME!!!
You’re busy. Between work, family, school schedules, and everything else on your plate, finding time to plan the perfect trip feels impossible.
Let's be honest...
- Hours of research on where to stay, attractions to visit in each village, how to get between them, and what to skip.
- Endless tabs open, reading travel blogs, comparing reviews, and trying to piece together the perfect plan.
- Confusion about transportation — should you rent a car, take the train, or use ferries? What’s the fastest, easiest, and most family-friendly option?
- Fear of missing out, worrying you’ll overlook something important, waste time in lines, or end up paying more for less.
All of this leads to one thing: travel stress instead of travel joy. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

And Finally, Say Goodbye to Tour Companies & Tour Packages
Who needs a pricey tour package when you can do a better job for a fraction of the cost?
Tour companies may check off the major attractions, but here’s the truth:
- You get very little time to enjoy each stop.
- You’re stuck in crowds, waiting your turn to take a rushed photo.
- You have no flexibility to stay longer at places you love or skip ones you don’t.
- You’re taken to overrated souvenir shops — not because they’re special, but because the company has a tie-up.
- You eat where the group eats, often missing out on top-rated restaurants or authentic local favorites.
- You’re on someone else’s clock, not yours.
With TripWise, you’re the boss. You choose where to go, how long to stay, what to eat, and what to skip.
✅ No crowds
✅ No wasted time
✅ No cookie-cutter experiences
Instead: just authentic, thoughtful travel — made simple.
