Italy tour

According to the tour itinerary day 6 is "exploring the Cinque Terre".

Ernesto, On that particular tour, I believe you'll arrive in the Cinque Terre (probably Monterosso) on the evening of Day 5 and will enjoy a fantastic group dinner after you get settled in the hotel. You'll then have all of Day 6 to explore the area on your own. Just to clarify, the "Italian Riviera" and the "Cinque Terre" are the same thing AFAIK. Cheers!

Ernesto, glad to see you got your answer. Just to say that this helpline, while sponsored by the Rick Steves lot, is not answered by them, just us fellow travelers. We usually know of what we speak, but if you want to talk to the staff you need to use their contact information.

The Italian Riviera covers a larger area than the CT. The Cinque Terre is in (on?) the Italian Riviera.
