Beautiful Cinque terre with a great guide! - INCREDIBLE DAY - a must visit! Our day started just outside the cruise terminal, where we met our guide Romina. She checked us in quickly & then gave our group the option of walking with her to the train station or to meet her in a taxi. The walk was around 25minutes & she stopped to show us some la Spezia highlights on the way. The train station was BUSY, but we were efficiently guided onto the train & told which stop to disembark if we got split up. Our first stop was riomaggiore, which was the most steep of all villages but like a picture postcard! We travelled at the end of July so it was busy but the crowds were manageable. Romina gave us some history of the village & then approx 1hr free time, where we strolled around, took pictures & visited a cafe for lemoncino spritz! We boarded the train for the second stop vernazza, the train was much quieter & we were able to find a seat. After another run through about the highlights we then set off for around 1hrs free time. We again took lots of pictures, paddled in the water & ate the most delicious focaccia with pesto I’ve ever tasted! Our last stop was the village of Monterroso, which was the biggest of the villages we visited. From here we walked to a cafe for lemoncino tasting followed by aprox 2hrs of free time! Here we swam, enjoying the public beach (there are a few dotted around so bring a towel / swimwear) and browsed the shops. We boarded the train back to La spezia around 4.10pm & arrived back to La spezia around 4.30pm. We then said goodbye to our amazing guide & took a short walk back to the ship. Good walking shoes needed, swimwear & a beach towel also. We travelled at the end of July so expect crowds on & off the train but it was very manageable & our guide did a fantastic job of communicating with us! I’d highly recommend this tour company, we revieced a text with further instructions the day before our trip & even was able to reach out with questions which they happily answered. Don’t hesitate to book, amazing tour with a fantastic company 10/10

So beautiful!!! - I wanted to share our wonderful experience on the recent tour we booked through your company. As a group of nine traveling from a Royal Caribbean cruise (six adults, two kids, and one toddler), we found your excursion to be a much more affordable option than those offered by the cruise line.
The pickup process was seamless; our tour guide was easily identifiable outside the port with a sign. We then had a pleasant 30-minute walk with the group and our delightful guide, Martina, to the train station.
We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the three charming beach towns. We had an hour in the first two towns and two hours in the last, which allowed us ample time to experience each location. Given that we had children and teenagers with us, we made sure to take advantage of the beach at the last stop – a perfect recommendation for anyone considering a swim! Just a friendly reminder to future travelers that time goes by quickly, so be mindful not to get left behind.
After the tour concluded, we were responsible for our return to the ship, which involved walking back to the port from the train station. This was not difficult at all. Cinque Terre was truly magical and felt like stepping into the "Luca" movie!
Thank you again for an unforgettable experience.

Worth the money 100. - Lisa took us by train to Vernozzo, and two other villages. It was hot as hell so if you can travel at another time other than the summer do it! We were able to see a lot more with this tour. Be prepared to walk a ton. A lot more than you think you will walk. Overall it was beautiful. I wish we had more time because the cruise ship left port too early though. But overall, super happy we did it.

Good Tour—recommend it! - There is a good amount of walking required, but we enjoy walking and were fine. Some of the walking is uphill and up steps. Our guide, Romina, was very knowledgeable and took care to make sure we were all together. She is very sweet and gave us recommendations for the best focaccia and gelato places as well as restaurants.

Liza our tour guide is... - Liza our tour guide is fantastic!! She’s very nice and helpful. She informed us about every single detail of the trip, so we weren’t left confused. The tour is perfect with enough time for Riomaggiore, Vernazza, and Monterosso, and at the end, we had plenty of time left to explore La Spezia before heading back to the ship.

Must do! - This is the tour to book if you don't want to be bothered by finding out how to do this yourself. Plenty of time in three out of the five towns that make up Cinque Terre. At the end, there is the option (if you are not on a tight schedule because of being on acruise) to visit the remaining two on your own, as you will get the tickets send to your whatsapp account.

Cinque Terre tour - The views and trips to Cinque Terre is amazing. We visited four of the villages, stopped by for lunch. Our guide, Romina is extremely helpful and friendly. She share all the history, tips, arranged our train tickets and best of all, we have private tour by her since it’s a low season. Thank you Romina

Lots of walking BREATHTAKING towns - Romina was great. She kept us safe and always going. There is a lot of walking involved ( more than I expected or was described- 30 min approximately 2 miles) and quickly at times (to cross the street and get to the train). The train ride was comfortable and the towns breathtaking!

A must see in Italy! - The guide Bea was terrific! She was friendly and helpful! The towns and scenery was magnificent! The trains and towns were extremely crowded with tourists which made the traveling difficult. You need to be in good walking condition as there are many uphill and long uneven walkways.
