This was the most perfect Cinque Terre experience! Everything was incredibly organized and easy to navigate thanks to our amazing tour leader, Marta. We had plenty of time in all three towns to explore, take photos, and enjoy local restaurants and shops. Marta shared great recommendations at each stop, from viewpoints to must-try spots for food. 10/10 recommend this tour — it made experiencing Cinque Terre effortless and unforgettable!

It was an awesome day. Martha and Halim were a great team. Halim got us to our train station in time to start the tour. Martha gave a lot of background to the area and kept us on track all day with suggestions of what to do in free time.

Great trip. Had to change itinerary due to train strike, but the boat was nice. Changed which towns we saw, but all were nice.

It was a full day trip visiting 3 villages and long time break in between. We didn’t opt in for the lunch options. Highly recommended

Marta is the best guide! Her instructions on where and when to meet were excellent. She is both informative and hilarious. We very much enjoyed this trip. Just enough time in each town as they are small. Would take this tour again.
