Amazing location - great experience - This was an amazing experience. Our guide Veronica was exceptional, providing the history of the region and all the separate villages. Nothing was too much trouble for her and made the experience so easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Veronica and this experience.

Beautiful day with unforgettable memories! - Veronica made this day the perfect balance of carefree, relaxing, and fun. She took the worry out of traveling in a foreign country and it was like having a friend with you that was an expert. She provided interesting information about the beautiful Cirque Terre towns, excellent recommendations to eat, and free time to explore. It was a lovely day! Thank you so much Veronica!

Nice tour, very pleasant and informative! - We were only two days in Cinque Terre. We started with the tour and have no regrets. It was a super rigidity to get to know the small villages and their history. We were a very small group with only 4 people plus head. All very cozy so. The tour guide was super nice and gave a lot of information. So a clear recommendation!

Veronica was a wonderful... - Veronica was a wonderful guide. She met us at the train station in La Spezia, and walked us through how to purchase our train tickets for the day. We stopped in 3 different towns, with the option to visit a 4th or 5th on our own at the end of the tour. She provided us with free time in each town, and walked us through purchasing our ferry tickets, too. Without Veronica, we would have probably been able to find our way into each town, but would not have learned any of the history and would have missed out on a lot. We appreciated having her as our guide. The small group option (there were 3 of us, and another family of 3), meant it was easy to follow and hear her without feeling lost or like you were just following a big group from place to place. I would definitely use her services again in the future.

Expensive - We booked this tour expecting a boat tour. But it was predominantly by train. Although it does say in the app it wasn’t totally clear that you have to pay for the ferry and train ticket on top of the tour price. This makes it extremely expensive. The tour was €160 for two and all we got for that was a guided walk. In all the trip cost us €260 and was not worth it. Veronica was very pleasant and informative. But we could easily have done the tour On our own. You also only get a guided walk of 3 of the villages.

Cinque Terre is not to be missed. - This is a spectcular site, the Cinque Terre is a must see. The tour was ok. We bought the train and boat tickets, it was fun to ride a train and boat in Italy. The guide was OK, We had good information on the first town, but after that, it was like on your own, not much info.
