Sam was the best guide! Itinerary would have been better if Pisa was included to make the tour more complete and worthwhile. A little expensive if just Cinque Terra

Dario was a great guide. He took care of arranging the boat ride, train tickets, and gave suggestions for lunch. He was also a great driver. We enjoyed our day immensely.

We jumped on this tour last minute & I am so grateful there was space for us! It was a small group & the van we drove in was extremely comfortable. We had plenty of free time, but also learned about the areas we were visiting. There are many tours to Cinque Terre but this one was outstanding. I cant recommend enough!

Jacob was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. My family loved our time out there and learning about the history of the region.

My wife and I and best friends celebrated our respective 30 year anniversaries with a trip to Italy. We enjoyed a private day trip from Florence to explore the iconic Tuscan hill towns of Siena and San Gimignano. We strolled through medieval streets, admired its stunning architecture, tasted several gelato options, and shopped in numerous boutiques for souvenirs. In between the city visits we experienced a renowned, but quaint winery. We tasted several red wines and connected with the hosts who were fun and knowledgeable. They prepared a traditional Tuscan lunch, including cheeses, bread, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and tasty chicken wings. The highlight of the trip was a full day tour to Cinque terre as we visited Vernazza, Monterosso and Manarola. The coastal towns have great views of the water and colorful houses. We enjoyed shopping and Lemoncello by the shore. Our driver-escort, gave us information on the way, ensured we got some scenic pictures, arranged our train tickets between the cities, and was great to interact with. We shared the van with two other couples, which was also fun. Of course I was super-impressed with our one day visit to Rome. We took the fast train from Florence which is a 2 hour trip in comfortable seats. Our guide, Francesca, met us at the train station and we saw some amazing sites and ruins: Rome piazzas and fountains , Colosseum, Forum , Pantheon, Trevi fountain, and Spanish steps. Francesca is super knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. In summary I highly recommend AVVENTURE BELLISSIME for your excursion planning and execution. In preparation for our trip to Italy we communicated frequently with Monica who found the right adventures for our group of four. I was also impressed with the ongoing communication of tactical details of where to meet and the driver/guide information. Thanks to Monica, Nurila, and their team for a lifetime experience.

All that was promised was done. Our guide was not very interactive with the group. He didn’t introduce himself; I finally asked his name. He didn’t give clear instructions for a meeting place until we asked for more information. No scenic information was given to the group as we drove. The sights were amazing, but he was rather bland.

Tour was exactly as advertised - no surprises. The guide was professional, personable, and helpful. Everything went very smoothly. We enjoyed our day in this beautiful area. Very relaxing - much easier than when we did it on our own a few years ago! Highly recommend!!
