Under-the-weather guide, beautiful towns
Elizabeth P,Jun 20, 2026
- Review from Viator
3.00David was really nice, but he was under the weather and completely lost his voice by the end of the day. He distributed radio devices and headsets so we could hear him better, but the quality was really static-y, and we couldn’t hear him well through that, either. It was nice to have the tour company take care of the logistics of getting from Florence to Cinque Terre and between each of the towns, but we often felt rushed at each stop. That could have also been because our tour started late because there was a mixup with the van, and they had to go get a different one. I wish we would’ve been able to learn more about the towns and what we were seeing along the way, but David seemed to be less effective because of his illness. While I appreciate that he worked despite less than ideal circumstances, the company probably should’ve substituted drivers for the day because I feel we didn’t get the full experience we paid for — and I’m concerned we may also end up with the same sickness from being in an enclosed space with a guide who was coughing all day.

3.00Our tour guide was very kind, however, I think he could have made this tour a little better by offering more insight. He took us to some nice spots, however, did not take us to the main popular viewpoints that I would have wanted to see. He could have pointed them out or made us aware of them and I would have happily walked to them. In Riomaggiore, he took us to a courtyard overlooking the water, but you couldn’t see much of the buildings which is one of the best parts in my opinion. The real viewpoint was right around the corner where you have a view of the bright and colorful buildings with the water. It was in so many of the tour photos so I thought we would be walking together there as a group. We only went to the courtyard and then went directly to the train to go to the next village. There was a viewpoint he took us to right by the train station but not nearly as pretty as the viewpoint in front of Riomaggiore would have been. In Manarola, I wish our tour guide would have informed us of the view from the top of the cliff side. I would have gladly walked up the hill for the view, but didn’t realize it until it was too late as we had to meet up for the boat ride to Vernazza. In Vernazza, our tour guide suggested a certain restaurant, but didn’t mention the expensive cover charge for eating there. Just would have been nice to know in advance. Overall, it was nice to be picked up and be taken around the villages without having to navigate on our own, but I am just sad that I missed the viewpoints I wanted to see the most. Maybe I should have gotten more clarity on my end, but I just thought our tour guide would have let us know.
Beautiful Day in Cinque Terre and Pisa!

5.00Cinque Terre is a beautiful slice of heaven. Our tour guide, Marco, was fantastic! He was incredibly friendly and thoughtful. His knowledge of the area made this a 5 star experience.
Incredible memory making tour of Cinque Terre & Pisa

5.00This was a highlight of our trip to Italy! Marco picked us up from the meeting point at 7am and off we went. Only instead of silence in the van for the drive, which we shared with three other lovely travelers, he taught us all about the towns we passed so that by the end of the day we had seen and learned so much more than expected!! What a delightful tour to see Italy by car, train and ferry! Truly fabulous. Cinque Terre is beautiful and magical and a spot not to be missed. Marco got us safely to the three villages and then gave us 1-2 hours to explore on our own the shops, cafes and even beaches! We went in the water at all three places and climbed to the top of towers and sat in cafes by the marina. Something for everyone. The villages are as beautiful and picturesque as post cards. Do not miss this tour!! Pisa was also so neat to see - we had about 45 minutes and though we didn’t choose to climb the leaning tower, we toured the town and had gelato after taking pictures of it and the cathedral. It was a LOT of walking so wear comfortable shoes and light clothing if visiting in the summer. And bring a backpack with a bathing suit and towel and sunscreen to take advantage of small coves and beaches to cool off. Can’t thank Marco enough for these memories. He was personable, professional, passionate, knowledgeable, patient, proactive (even booked us a table at an outdoor cafe where we all chose to eat together and it was perfect!), and so eager to please. What an asset he is to this tour company.
A great day and great guide.

5.00Marco was a wonderful guide for our day trip to Cinque Terre and Pisa. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. He led our group through busy streets and towns with ease. He went above and beyond by arranging a lunch spot for the group. A great experience!

5.00An amazing day!!! Probably the best day of our entire trip! It is well organized and our guide, Diana, was just the right amount of a guide and knew when to leave us be and let us explore! Such a beautiful corner of Italy!!
Claudius is a wonderful guide!

5.00Claudius was an excellent guide! The drive to La Spezia is about 2 hours and he shared information about the regions along the way, and history of Florence & Pisa. Once we arrived at Riomaggiorre, he gave clear instructions on where to meet after we explored on our own. We decided as a group which train to take to Manarola and he had tickets ready when we met. Same process for meeting at the marina to take the boat to Vernazza. The different rides added to the experience! Had time for lunch and the kids to swim a little before taking a train back to Riomaggiorre. He was very helpful and always asked if we needed anything. The ride to Pisa is about an hour and he dropped us off close to the entrance. This tour allowed us to enjoy the sites and scenery without the hassle of figuring out directions and tickets. Highly recommend!

5.00Absolutely incredible! One of my favorite days of our twelve day trip!! Diana was the best guide, and she made us feel so comfortable all the while sharing her local area’s history with us! It was such a blessing to be along in the story of her country! We enjoyed every second!
