Reviews
Luka was a great guide who was very friendly and he is flexible in adjusting the itinerary to make the best out of the various site to avoid the crowds. He also ensure everyone get on the last boat back to the train station.
What a beautiful view, but you have to take the train and transfer constantly. On the return trip, other tour groups have tour buses to pick you up at the pier. But it takes 15 minutes to go to the train station. Unfortunately, a group member has a foot pain. The tour guide is very helpful and picks up the taxi, but it is always delayed. The train finally returned to Florence train station at 9:00. The tour guide was so talkative!
The tour guide is very enthusiastic and explains the history and culture in detail. The only disadvantage of the itinerary is that the transportation arrangement takes a long time. We gathered at 6:30 in the morning and did not return to Florence Station until 9:00 in the evening. It was a bit longer than expected (7:30 in the evening).
Well organised tour, tour guide Anastasia reshuffled the schedule in order to let us enjoy the boat ride to Portovenere since no boat in the afternoon. Happy to recommend to those who wants to sign up the tour.
Anastasia was a fantastic guide. Although the tour group was big during the trip. She was able to guide, advise on food to try, manage the itinerary of the entire tour across cinque Terre. Lunch is provided and would say it’s not bad with homemade pasta, local white wine and tiramisu. Lastly, the boat ride to Portovenere was a relaxing trip overseeing the cinque terre from the sea. Highly advise to book this trip
Love it,nice scenery..depart on time,friendly guide
Covered a lot of ground in this day tour. U get to be at each destination for about 1 hour or so which is sometimes insufficient but then the program is packed to help u see more in one day. Downside is there is no guided tour at each destination which means u have to read up the history and what to see on your own prior trip
The tour guide was very nice. A very informative history was being told during the tour.
