5.00What a great time! Lapo was a fantastic tour guide; very accommodating and able to answer our curious questions. It was awesome that he pre-booked a lunch reservation for us because there were tourists everywhere!
Fantastic Cinque Terre & Pisa Tour with Claudius

5.00We took a day trip from Florence to Cinque Terre with a stop in Pisa, and it was a fantastic experience. Our driver, Claudius, was amazing. The tour was a smaller group, which made it even more enjoyable and personal. Claudius did an excellent job coordinating all of the transfers between the Cinque Terre villages and provided helpful information to prepare us for our stop in Pisa. He was organized, knowledgeable, and made the entire day run smoothly. I would absolutely book another tour with Truescany and would definitely request Claudius again. Highly recommended!
A true reflection of the Cinque Terre with a great guide Marco.

5.00We loved Diana our tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and she has such a lovely personality. She gave us such great information about a variety of topics we learned so much. Highly recommend her and this tour specifically. It was a long day but 100% worth it. We would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you Diana! We will tell all our friends and family if they ever visit Florence to do this tour.
Ask for Diana!

Incredible Views

5.00Visiting three towns of the Cinque Terre was enough to get a feel for the area. The travel was definitely easier with Lapo, our guide. The van ride to and from Florence was comfortable. We didn’t have to think about tickets for the ferry or two train rides. Hiking from one town to the next was not an option because of time restraints. Our guide did give us some basic information at each town but nothing extensive. My daughter went swimming in Vernazza but there is no place to change except the pay bathrooms. Be prepared with euros for the bathrooms. If you aren’t able to walk up sharp inclines, this tour is not for you. Is it worth it for the incredible views of the cliffs meeting the Mediterranean? Absolutely! Our time in Pisa was long enough to see the tower but not to climb to the top so it was really just a check-off stop.
Great intro to Cinque Terre w/ enough info and free time, without having to worry about navigation or coordination.

5.00A great first taste of Cinque Terre and just the right amount of time in Pisa. Both parts of the tour had an excellence balance between information and free time; we would walk as a group to a central location, get a quick orientation, given the meet-up time and location, and then we went on to do what we wanted. This was perfect for me and we had enough time to see the main sites, take pics, and grab a snack (or eat a meal in Vernazza). It was raining at the beginning of the day and Dianna had umbrellas (1/group) as well a bottles of water for everyone. She was super friendly and knowledgeable, and took care to ensure all of the group was ok (there was a mix of younger and older folks with different physical abilities). There was a choice between taking the ferry boat or train between Manarola and Vernazza, but the seas were rough because of the weather, so Dianna talk to each group about their preference, which I really appreciated. Getting on and off the trains between the stations was a breeze, since Dianna took care of getting the tickets and knew exactly which platform to go to, making it easy to just enjoy the sites without worrying about logistics. I would definitely recommend this tour if you like autonomy to do what you want but not have to coordinate/navigate, and are looking for an introduction to Cinque Terre. I would like to go back and spend a few nights and fully experience the different villages, but now I know which village I would like to stay in (they all have a different feel) and have a better idea of how to get around since it wouldn’t be my first time. Lastly, we had about 45 min in Pisa which to me was more than enough time to see the tower, take some pics, grab a gelato, and walk around the immediate streets.
