  This was a highly organized tour with 4 stops in cinque terra. Our ghost Costantino kept us together and communicated very effectively. Perfect amount of time in each spot! You will be tired at the end of the day, but it will be so worth it!

  Beautiful as expected! It was a little rushed at the bigger villages with the time given. I would not include the lunch as it was very disappointing. Plenty of other places to find and there was enough time at this village for a leisurely lunch at a place of your choosing. Our guide kept everything moving and organized. Our bus driver masterfully navigated the windy road! Thank you Sara and Zamny! Then Sara provided a wonderful recommendation for dinner when we returned to Florence.

  This tour was great we got to visit 4 out of the 5 villages in cinque terre which is a lot but this tour made it doable. I felt like the time in each area was organized in a way that allowed you to get the most of each village. We had a big group and our tour guy Constantino did a great job keeping a group that big together and on time. He also did the entire tour in 3 languages which is pretty impressive… I know some people when they select one language they expect to get only that language. It didn’t bother use but def something to be aware of.

• Great tour, well organised

  We had a great day exploring Cinque Terre. This tour is for you if you only have one day to explore the area, as it is fast paced but covers 4 out of 5 towns. Our guide was wonderful and helped keep the group together despite the challenges! We were in large groups of about 45 people, but our guide did well to keep everyone accounted for. We were able to seperate from the group to explore the towns independently which was appreciated. Unfortunately we did not get to go on the boat due to rough waters that day. In terms of what to bring- a water bottle, a portable charger for your phone, sneakers/comfortable shoes, swimmers. I wore sandals and I found this was comfortable and practical. Similar to other reviews, we found limited opportunities to use the bathroom- only in cafe’s and on the train. There were no bathrooms on the bus. Regardless this did not impact our day, we would definitely recommend this tour! Thank you Ciao Florence for a great day

  NOT A GUIDED TOUR. I would not recommend this group excursion. Do yourself a favor and go on chatgpt, ask it for a cinque terre itinerary and follow that instead. You’ll save yourself some money for a few aperitivos on your trip and have a much more relaxed and enjoyable day. This was hardly a tour, and more a bus ride followed by timed stops at 4 of the 5 cinque terre villages. The description on viator is also inaccurate, and you will likely take the train from levanto and not le spezia which is 30 minutes further from florence than le spezia, which lost us ~1 hour total in our day. Our guide seemed knowledgeable, but had far too much responsibility to be effective. While i appreciate ciao florence accommodating multi-lingual options, the need to translate to three separate languages and manage almost 60 people at a number of stops in cinque terre, which is chaotic due to the high volume of tourists and small size of train stations in the villages, makes the guides job impossible. There was very little guiding done by our guide since he was needing to repeat himself due to people being late, and the need to translate several times. Because of this, there were no details about the history, sights, or points of interest at each village. Cinque terre was gorgeous, and the itinerary was fine, but i would not recommend this tour.
