5.00Our tour guide Coco made this such an amazing experience. Cinque Terre is so beautiful, we had so much free time to enjoy, with a mix of them showing us around! Coco was so sweet and incredibly helpful, she was so lovely to get to know! She gave incredible recommendations on places to eat and things to get in each village and made our trip incredibly memorable and so much fun! Would do this again in a heartbeat :)
Gian Carlos was the best guide I ever had.

5.00It is important to have a good guide, because they are part of the experience; but when you are lucky enough to have a great guide—as Gian Carlo was—it is a privilege.

4.00We did the Cinque Terre without hiking and Pisa visit. This is a great tour. You get to see everything at 3 of the Cinque Terre towns and a stop at Pisa. One thing that I wish was told to us was the bus pick up and drop off points. I only know because I asked but big busses are not allowed in the city center. So we had to walk a ways the train station to catch the bus. Not a bad walk but it would have been nice for them to tell us why the bus couldn’t just take us directly to the train station. Our guide Joanna was amazing. Very informative and helpful. Very organized and she made sure the whole group was together at checkpoints and at train transfers and such. She showed us where to take the best photos and where to get the best gelato. She did a great job. 😊
Must-do trip from Florence, stress-free and absolutely beautiful

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Joanne was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! Our day exploring Cinque Terre and Pisa was the highlight of our trip. She was incredibly caring, always making sure everyone was together and having a great time. Her knowledge was amazing, whether it was about the places we visited or recommendations for food and local spots, she always had the perfect answer. On top of that, she was so kind, fun, and passionate about Italy and our destinations, which made the whole experience even more special. Traveling with a group of four in Florence, we all agree this was the best day of our trip. It was such a relief to relax and enjoy the stunning views without worrying about planning or logistics. Highly recommend this tour and thank you Joanne for such a great experience!
Very enjoyable.

5.00Our tour guide David was fantastic. He showed us the best spots in each town and then let us wander. Pisa was perfection. Train travel made journeying between cities easy. Even though we did not choose the hiking option, there was still a-lot of walking.

5.00The trip was well organized and interesting. Though the weather was rainy we had the option to hike as much or as little as we felt like on the day. Hanging out in the different villages was relaxing and the scenery was beautiful. Ado and Constantino were our guides and they were both awesome.
