I enjoyed the trip very much. Our guide Leon was very attentive to the group and made sure we were on time for the different moments we had to catch a train, which was very relaxing and helped me to enjoy the time I had in each stop. I had the opportunity to chat with several elements of the group and even found a fellow countrywoman, which was nice. But I could also take my own step at my own rhythm and enjoy the views, lunch, snacks and shopping for souvenirs.

I would recommend anyone who visit Florence to spend a day exploring Cinque Terre. Is a beauty place to walk around and spend a day.

It was a lovely tour of four of the five cities. It was really good to be able to wander the cities by ourselves. But the tour had said there was a boat plant… Appointment, which we would be on the water to transfer to a city. But that did not happen. I must admit, I was disappointed by that.

This was an interesting tour! Our guide was excellent and the tour of the five towns was interesting. Took some great photos, not sure I’d go back to this area, but that had nothing to do with the tour. Definitely worth going to see! 100% recommend!

Lunch with the guide at a wonderful place called Il "Brigantino Ristorante by the sea!! Great place seafood salad, pesto pasta served with wine and bread! Tour guide was very patient, courteous and polite.

Had the most incredible day exploring the beauty of Cinque Terre. Our tour guide Roberto was excellent and very knowledgeable, highly recommend Roberto and would love to go on another tour with him one day Our day wouldn’t have been possible without our driver, Altin. The drive was smooth and enjoyable.

Our tourist guide, Roberto and our driver Altin, were just great, providing all the info prior to our visit in each city, explaining as much as he could, replying back if we had any question! Just awesome!!!

Great excutsion and well organized. Our guide was very good and kept us updates. The driver was also good. We really liked Riomaggiore and Manarola. All of them except Monterosso are very small. One hour free time to each of them is more than enough.
