Unforgettable Cinque Terre Private Shore Excursion from La Spezia

Perhaps the weather had a lot to do with it as it wasn’t a nice day at all, however we never spent nearly the amount of time at each spot as suggested in the itinerary which was a shame as the towns were lovely but we were only given minimum amounts of time in each as we were either always waiting for the ferry and missing one forcing us to take another train and more waiting or felt very rushed except for the lunch where we were only there for about 30-45 minutes at best. Our tour guide did offer a gelato or a wine tasting because we didn’t get to explore anything but that kind of never happened and before we knew it we were heading back on the train to La Spezia? We told him he could leave us and we’d find our way back to ship so we didn’t have to rush back since our ship was overnight and we were not pressed for time at all. All in all very very expensive for what we received and very disappointing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Cinque Terra and would have not experienced all that was on offer without our guide Matteo. He was a pleasure to be with and shared his passionate knowledge of this area.

The day prior to the experience, the tour operator reached out to me via WhatsApp and messaging to let us know that they had to unfortunately cancel the tour due to extremely high winds and severe thunderstorms forecast for the following day. We truly appreciated the effort they made to contact me and the prompt refund that I received. Thank you!

Sonia was terrific! Very engaging, made sure we saw everything we wanted to see, and she was full of so much good knowledge. She really made the day! She even stayed at the end to make sure we got on the correct train home :) Would highly recommend this tour.

We had an awesome day with our superb tour guide, Andrea. He was wonderful in sharing the knowledge and history of the cities. He navigated our train stops to make the most of our time at each stop. We appreciated his restaurant recommendation and connection so there was no waiting upon our arrival. He was absolutely the best and I’d recommend this tour and request Andrea if possible. You will love your time exploring this majestic area.

Absolutely loved this tour! The villages are stunning. Matteo was fun and informative, and the mix of train and boat rides made it super easy to explore. — highly recommend!

We took a private Cinque Terre tour and the experience could not have been better. The destination was spectacular and our guide was exceptional. The tour operator did an excellent job communicating with us prior to the start of the tour so we knew exactly what to expect. Our guide took care of everything so all we had to do was enjoy.

You will be doing a lot of walking and stairs. If you have mobility issues, let your guide know. We we paired with a skie instructor and had a hardtime keeping pace.

The entire day was special. Our tour guide was very informative and took her time with explaining the beautiful area.

Excellent tour. Marta was a wonderful guide…..very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with.
