A well planned tour with wonderful guides and panoramic oceanic views

5.00Walkabout tours continues to be our favourite tour company within Florence and our recent trip on the 22nd was no different. Ado and Angela (Angie) were our guides and they were calm and magnetic. We were primarily in Ado’s section, and he was incredibly energetic and fun. Angie was similar but in a much calmer energy, which balanced out the tour well. It is a long day trip but we had an amazing time and enjoyed every moment that we were in Cinque Terre. The panoramic views of the ocean, cliffside, and mountains made it all worth a while. Thank you both again! We wouldn’t have had this experience without this tour and them as our guides. Note: The Italian heat is no joke though, be prepared with sunscreen, stay hydrated, and you will have a blast.
Great tour !!!

5.00This was an amazing trip. Ado was full of information, ensured our trip went smoothly, even when other tour guides tried to push in front of our group for the boat, he stood his ground which was extremely appreciated and gave us plenty of time in each place to explore and sunbathe. Would highly recommend this trip. 10/10

5.00A stunning day out in Cinque Terre. Everything from meeting points, bus stops, train rides and more were meticulously planned. Noemi and Luca were fabtastic, knowledgeable, funny, available and really personable. At no point did we stress about anything - we always knew where and when to meet, what was suggested, what to avoid and what would happen next. All this without it feeling rigid - there was ample free time and space to do your own thing. The lunch option was great, and catered to a variety of dietary and allergen needs. The boat ride was also stunning. The hike was moderate and well worth it, with scenic views and cute stores along the way that sold refreshments like lemon slushies. By far one of the best organised, managed and guided tours I've ever done. And a note on affordability: this full day tour with all extras was more affordable than some half day tours offered, and honestly everything was included and everything was excellent. Thanks Noemi and Luca - hope to catch you on another tour one day.
Perfect weather .. Anniversary trek
