5.00Cinque Terre was on my bucket list for a long time. It didn't dissapoint. Although in my opinion, there wasn't much to do, but I loved it. Tour was very well organized. Joanna, Noemi and Ado were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I was impressed how they handled a big group train transfers between stations, especially because each of the groups had different intimerary. They kept us entertained with lots of information on Tuscan area. I enjoyed a hike and optional group delicious lunch. I met some friends as well. I really recommend it. 😀

5.00Giancarlo and Constanza were absolutely brilliant and made this day as perfect as it was. They shared so many great tips for each of the places and we were able to stay on time to see it all. Lunch was simple but nice and the perfect amount before our spectacular hike- we all loved this, even our children (9 and 11) managed this well and the views were breathtaking. We are so happy we were able to visit each location and experience the boat trip too. Absolutely recommend! A huge thank you to our amazing driver too. Definitely recommend this tour but a huge part of this is because of our amazing tour guides!
Awesome Day Trip

5.00We had such an awesome day with the opportunity to explore ALL 5 towns of Cinqueterre. Our tour guides, especially Constanza, were fabulous and so kind! We took a comfortable bus to La Spezia, followed by trains between towns with a little over an hour to explore each town. The hike was one of the most beautiful things we’ve seen in the world!!! Most definitely a long day, but such a great experience!

5.00We did the cinque terre tour with hiking - it was a great way to see cinque terre in a single day! Alessandro and Costanza were fantastic guides. You do not have tons of time in each town but the guides are great at showing you the best picture taking spots and gelato or coffee places. They are very organized and keep you to a tight timetable to ensure you make it to each spot on schedule. You take the train between each town except for between corniglia and vernazza, where you hike the ~1 hr trail through the olive groves. Alessandro was very kind and patient to hike slower with my mom and told her all about the olive groves while they walked. Costanza was also very informative and friendly and we loved talking to her. Highly recommend this trip!
Great trip with colourful pastel memories

5.00Really great trip and our guide, Davide, was excellent. We enjoyed great gelato at the first village and a superb lunch at the second village (stuffed anchovies is a must try). This was then followed by a memorable boat trip with nice views of all colourful villages from the water. Pisa is a nice stop at the end, still leaning so we took the obligatory photos holding it up! Kudos to the tour and Davide.
