Cinque Terre

From time of pickup to drop off, everything was like clockwork. Yaris our tour guide was outstanding. His knowledge, patience and humor added to a brilliant day. I would highly recommend this tour, and if you can have Yaris as your guide even better.

Cinque Terra day trip from Florence a must for your Italian vacation

Fantastic day trip from Florence to Cinque Terra. The trip was an easy van ride to Cinque Terra where we got to walk around three of the 5 towns, including taking a ferry and train between the towns. There was ample time to enjoy these towns...and even stick your feet in the water! Our guides were knowledgeable and fun to be with. They were precise in our schedule and meeting points, and gave good advice on how to spend the time in each city. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Italy.
