Traveler reviews
A magical day on the beautiful Cinque Terre coast :)
What a wonderful day! Easy ride in a comfortable coach to the train station. Great itinerary. Guide (Claudia) was really personable and not overbearing. There was a lot of freedom at the individual stops to see it as you wished and then meet back up with the group at the appointed time to take the train to the next town. The optional lunch in Corniglia was delicious and inexpensive (in a good way!). The hike was absolutely STUNNING - if your body can do it, I highly recommend taking the time to enjoy the views from the trail - especially seeing Vernazza from above as you arrive into the town. Cannot stress how beautiful Cinque Terre is. You will not regret booking this! :)
Wonderful experience!
Our guide, Claudia, was very knowledgeable and attentive. My husband and I were a little slow during the hike, but Claudia was very patient with us. We had a wonderful experience. Definitely recommend!
Amazing tour!!!
This was a very quick way to explore all the 5 villages of cinque terre. There’s a little bit of time to explore each village and all the tour guides were amazing. If you are doing the hike it is not easy, but once you complete it you will feel so satisfied after! Our tour group had a lot of members but the tour guides did amazing making sure no one fell behind! Jojo was one of our guides and she was so nice and attentive to us!
Beautiful day in Cinque Terre & Pisa with Luca!
We had an excellent tour with Luca! We were met early in the morning near the train station in Florence and walked about 10 minutes to the bus. Luca and JoJo explained sights along the way, and about an hour later, we arrived in La Spezia. We were provided train tickets, and toured 3 of the 5 beautiful villages of Cinque Terre. We got great photos and had some time to explore, buy souvenirs, walk around in each town, and had a tasty lunch around noon. Around 3:30, we took the train to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower. It was starting to get dark, and we couldn't get a timed ticket within our hour window to see inside the cathedral, but it was still an amazing sight! Luca was an awesome tour guide; friendly and helpful! We'd love to do another tour with him! Thanks, Luca!
There is one guide to...
There is one guide to help you navigate your way around. You take a bus and then hop on public trains. We went during a relatively non- busy time of year but I can imagine this could get complicated if it were busy
