5.00Valerie is great. This small group tour enabled us to be more nimble and flexible than the busloads of tourists. Valerie took the time to review the history of the villages. She was so knowledgeable and cared about giving us a great experience.

5.00The Cinque Terre tour was more than expected visiting 4 of the 5 Terre villages. The weather was perfect which allowed for ferry transport between villages. Our guide Luigi was fantastic and kept us on schedule even though we used shuttle bus, train and ferry service. Also hour out to Alessandro for keeping our bus travel comfortable and on time. It was a great day and very informative and beautiful.
Cinque Terre - A fabulous tour!

5.00We really enjoyed our trip to the towns that make up the Cinque Terre. There were a lot of us in this group tour, a little larger than expected for a small group tour, but Luigi did a great job keeping the group together as we moved from town to town via train. Luckily, we did not have to take the train back to our starting point, our drivers met us at the last town we visited, and we left in our van back to our meeting point. All very efficient and enjoyable. Valeria was a terrific driver, and shared her knowledge of the towns and scenic places along the way, pointing out where the carrera marble mountain areas. We enjoyed our day!
Wonderful Experience

5.00Excellent. Louigi and Cristoforo were very well informed and very polite. Explanations were excellent. The timing of events was perfect. Everyone in my party were very satisfied. I travelled to Cinque Terre in 1998. I have wanted to return with my family. Thank you for the very professional experience. COME SEE US IN ITALY did a wonderful tour.
Perfect day in Cinque Terre

5.00My daughter, son-in-law and I joined a Come & See Italy day tour to Cinque Terre led my Luigi. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional! He introduced us to a very special part of Italy and made us want to return for more. Most of all, he was extremely caring. I had recently broken my arm and felt very vulnerable. He was able to lead all of us with our various abilities and made us feel well cared for. He returned on a subsequent trip to pick up the prescription glasses that I had left behind in a restaurant and made a special trip to Lucca to bring them to me...What a special man!! We will recommend the group and Luigi to our friends and will hope to return for another special day.
Great host, Valeria.
