[Cinque Terre One Day... - [Cinque Terre One Day Tour] Guide Alex is so nice and professional. He introduced the spot lights and even led personally us to the recommended route! Every sight is amazing. He is a good time controller so we can catch up every train under the best schedule. We visited four villages (the smallest one was skipped), I think it is the optimal literary to meet our requirements since we would like to visit the more in a day. Bus is also new and great and the driver skill is excellent as well. Highly recommended!

Beautiful day trip - We chose to do the independent option of this trip which allowed us to hike between Riomaggiore and Manarola. The trains are very easy to navigate on your own and it allowed us a lot of flexibility to explore.

An amazing day trip to check out the Cinque Terre villages! - A perfectly planned tour from Florence to Cinque Terre by bus and train. Frederica as our tour host was amazing. She was very diligent about accounting for everyone and was knowledgeable and had recommendations. Our bus driver Jean Carlos did a great job getting us there and back as well. February is a down time though which we knew doing the tour. A few restaurants and stores are open but not like it would be in the summer. We still enjoyed the beauty of it and enjoyed walking around the villages.

Must do! - Great way to visit each town with a guide figuring out the logistics but also time to explore on your own. The views in each town are amazing!

Daughter was keen to see... - Daughter was keen to see the Cinque Terre while we were staying in Florence. Found this tour/bus ride and it worked out perfectly. We chose to do the ride only and make our own way around the towns. Bus left around 7am from Florence and Tabitha, Claudia and Michele were great. Tabitha was the guide for the day and on both bus rides kept us informed of the sights along the way and the plan for the day. On arrival in La Spezia, we made our own way using the trains to get around. Tabitha made sure we were all ok before the tour started and we also got WhatsApp updates on where they were the whole time. We also were checked on close to the meeting time to make sure we were on track for departure. Would definitely recommend Ciao Florence based on our experience.

Colorful homes on the coastal cliffs - We were in Florence December 2024 and wanted to see surrounding region so we chose the world famous Cinque Terre for its colorful homes built on mountain cliffs along the west coast. The fishing villages are only reachable by trains (included in the tour) or boats (weather dependent). Beside the stunning views, be sure to try the variety of fried seafood available from a handful restaurants still open this time of the year (most places are in hibernation mode from November to March). Anyways, we were very fortunate to be able to see the entire region without thousands of other tourists blocking your view and slowly strolling through the villages on this sunny/cloudy day (you need to prepare for this very long day trip) as I logged 15,000 steps.
