Amazing experience. Our guide Emma was fantastic. She even took the time to give my wife and I recommendations after the tour was over on places we should explore in Florence. We also noticed she took the time to talk with everyone on the tour and get to know everyone. You are free to go off on your own or follow along with the guide on tours of each city just as long as you are back to the train in the timeline given. I could not recommend this day trip to cinque terre enough!

It was perfectly executed from meeting point to drop off. Ado was the nicest sweetest guide. Very helpful. I broke my wrist the night before and he got me ice packs at La Spezzia as I was unfamiliar with the train station and we didn’t have much time at that stop. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the National Park. The hike had spectacular views but I don’t think I’d recommend the hike portion if you just broke an important bone, the bus would have been smarter for my situation but then I would have missed the spectacular views along the way.

Our tour guide Ado was fantastic! He was passionate, funny and with us every step of the way, guiding us and telling us about the history from each town. We visited all 5 towns, if you didn't want to do the hikes, there was the choice of the train which took 3 mins to each town and met our fellow participants who did the hike. Lunch in Corniglia was amazing, with their signature dish being the seafood starter and pesto pasta. We had lots of free time to explore the beautiful towns and the coach to and from Cinque Terre was super comfy!

Tony, our guide, made the whole experience wonderful. He had the best of italian humor and explained everything clearly and gave clear instructions at every stop. Thank you Tony! And also thank you to our very safe bus driver Sergio!

Great way to see it all in one day. We decided not to do the hike. Rather vigorous and we had just climbed 400 steps. Our guide, Otto (spelling) was amazing and even gave us great recommendations for things on our trip.
