Traveler reviews
This Is Not A Small Group Tour
This trip was not as advertised. It was supposed to be a small group trip, no more than 8 people. They pulled a bait and switch. I paid the higher price for the small group trip but instead, it was a group of 16 people, 2 vans of 8 people with one tour guide. And because there were so many people, our guide was stopped by the police in first town. We were stopped for 30 minutes while the police issued the guide a ticket. I love the Cinque Terre but I would not book this trip. You will overpay and will have more than 8 people on tour. I requested a partial refund and only received $25 back. I was very disappointed.
Perfect day, perfect tour
We had the most amazing day. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Because of that we had the described itinerary with plenty of time at each stop. Jonathan was an amazing tour guide. With limited time in Italy but wanting to see as much as possible, I'm so glad we booked this tour.
Cinque Terra day trip
Awesome views and we'll worth it. Hard walking in some places. Suggestions get guide number if separated or train canceled. Fun overall
A wonderful sea side excursion!
This was a great experience that was made even more special by our driver/tour guide, Ricardo! His professionalism knowledge, and humor were greatly appreciated. When I asked about a great Florence restaurant recommendation he readily suggested the restaurant he would take his own family to. This was a highly rated Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant that would have been impossible to get a prime time reservation slot. But he helped to make that happen. On the Cinque Terre side he helped us strategize to get our best experience possible. And the Five Lands did not disappoint. From the fresh sea food and service, to the wonderful views. A great experience! Thank you Ricardo!
Cinque Terre
Cinque Terre was lovely to visit. Glad we went. Our guide Jonathon did a nice job of getting us where we needed to be. However, I suggest getting your guide’s phone number in case you run into issues. Our train to meet him was cancelled, and the group had to call main tour group numbers to figure out what to do. It worked out, but his number would have been faster and less stress. He had left on an earlier train to get the van to meet us.
