Lots to Experience in a Very Long Day - Transportation getting there was challenging but not the guides fault. A lot of walking so be prepared. Boat ride was very nice. This was a very long day from 6:30am until 9:30pm.

A long day but worth it - The destination is on our list of places we wanted to visit. The trip was exactly as described. Everywhere was very busy, but this added to the atmosphere. The combination of trains and boats for travelling from A to B was perfect with lots of opportunities for snacks and comfort breaks when needed. Each 'land' is unique and has different things to offer. Our guide, Marco, gave us lots of additional information about the different lands along with historical details. He was knowledgeable and friendly, spending time with each party member. We were a varied group both in age and nationalities.

Beautiful - After a not so good start, the tour guide was 20 minutes late. We had no clue as to wether the tour had been cancelled. I contacted the tour operator through the booking link. I received no response. Then I contacted Viator who were most helpful. By that time the tour guide approached us casually as if nothing happened. Not even an apology. Anyway the went very smoothly there on. He (the guide) was very knowledgeable and helpful. It wasn't as faced paced and gruelling on the feet as I was anticipating. We had a great day. Recommended.

Beautiful day - Lucca is a very nice host who made the tour and getting around very easy. The stops are absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend doing the tour by train and boat with him.

Portovenere was the best. - The ferry to Portovenere was the best part of the trip. If I did this again I take the ferry from La Spezia to Portovenere then to Monterosso al Mare and back to La Spezia. The train ride was very long & the other towns were nice, but Portovenere was awesome!

Beautiful - It is a long day as pre warned. Very picturesque. Beautiful. If mobility issues not for you. Walking hills, stairs and lots of people, very croudy. Lots of time spent on train. Boat rides can be rough on the water.

Well worth it--no pain, no gain! - The most memorable parts of my experience were being able to visit multiple towns that were fabulous. Our tour guide, Marco, was there in each place to answer multiple questions. Having his computer tablet available to share knowledge of areas that we passed on the train was enlighting. Each town had it's own vibe. Especially liked the medieval buildings in each location. Ferry ride back to train station was like the whipped cream of the trip! Wonderful seeing Cinque Terre from the sea! There will be much time spent on train--2+ hours each way from Florence and 20.000 walking steps! Be ready to be a tourist!

Worst choice to Cinque Terre - Terrible way to ruin a trip we've wanted to take for years. The tour guide was wrong about which train to take and we lost hours getting there and back, we skipped several lands. How can it be possible that you make a mistake in something you always do?

Horrible Experienced - This was not a guided tour at all. The tour guide basically guided us to each village by train will give us about 1.5 hours to “explore” and that’s it. Not a single story about the village or what activities or iconic place to look for. When we bought the ticket, our tour included lunch. Well, the lunch was cancelled without prior notification and 20 euros per person refunded from $135 per person paid ticket. To finalize our trip, we were supposed to take an express train back to Florence and the train got “cancelled” which it didn’t because we asked the train operator and she confirmed that it didn’t. we were put in a train with 20 stops which took 2.5 hours back to Florence. They sure did made money out of us in this tour. DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR.
