A piece of heaven

Such a lovely day exploring a beautiful area! Jojo did such a great job navigating buses, trains and while likely one of the most difficult trips, she made it look easy!

Loved it!

This was such a great way to experience all of Cinque Terre in one day. Cris did an excellent job of clearly communicating meeting times as well as providing recommendations for each town. He was very nice and helpful!

Incredible day!!!

We had an amazing day, highly recommend! The bus, train and boat are great times to cool down and rest! Coco was a great guide! I would recommend having Euros for Boat, that was incredible and preset lunch if doing that tour is the best! I had teenagers and Coco helped us prioritize each stop to our interest! I would co sided booking a beach chair online 3-5 days in advance if you want to spend the time swimming at one of the villages. And Pisa you need to pre book a tour time or they may be booked during the stop timing! We loved this day, just recommend preparing properly! Grab street food and drinks for the transportation parts!

Wonderful day trip

Amazing day trip from Florence! It was a full itinerary but never felt rushed or too much. Noemi and Christian were amazing guides. They were flexible, explained everything as the day progressed. They went out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable with the many options the day had. A great way to see all 5 villages! Highly recommend!

Great use of a vacation day!

Wow!! This was everything I had hoped for and more. Joann was one of the very best guides we have ever had. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and kept excellent track of us all day. We had plenty of time in each village. The ferry added an extra vantage point, and it was fun to be on the water. I highly recommend this tour—and I hope you get Joann as your guide for the day! The end of the day we joined another group for our bus ride home. Lea was their guide and she helped us with suggestions for what to do the following days. I highly recommend this group for Italy tours.
