Wouldn’t recommend this trip with a guide.

It was an interesting experience but we could have done it on our own. The guide didn’t add any significant value to the trip. It was disorganized. The meeting place was wrong. There were 10 in the group and there should have been a WhatsApp group to let everyone know the times of meeting. No tickets were distributed???

Beautiful cities, but horribly overcrowded

The towns in Cinque Terre are stunningly beautiful. Colorful, great shops, food. Our guide was great. The issue is the crowds. The trains were absolutely packed in every direction. The towns are also overcrowded with so many people. You can try to take some of the smaller trails or steps to get away, but it’s really hard to enjoy this amazing place because of too many people. Not the fault of the guide or the tour-she did her best and got us safely from one town to another, but it was exhausting.

Not recommended

Very unorganized. Trying to keep the group together several train stations was chaotic. The crowds were large and getting on and off at least 5 times was too much. This was too much to squeeze in to one day.

Disappointing tour experience

This tour did not live up to our expectations. The tour guide was not very engaging and did not offer any enthusiasm or tell us where we were going or any history of the locations. Even more disappointing we did not stop at the locations we were promised. We understand there was a train strike in Italy during our tour and wound up on a ferry that was full of hundreds and hundreds of people making it very uncomfortable. Overall, the experience was not what we expected. I would not book this again.

Magnificent discovery of the Cinque Terre

I really liked this day which allows you to visit the Cinque Terre (except Corniglia because there are more than 300 steps to climb) in a little over 5 hours. It gives a very nice overview of these magnificent villages that are truly worth discovering... The 1.5-hour stops in some villages are sometimes a bit tight, but there is not much choice to discover as much as possible in a limited time. Friendly guide, giving good advice for the visit. You still need to be in good physical shape to do this excursion.
