Cinque Terra full day tour

Our tour guide Maya was great and the towns were quaint and lovely. Enjoyable day exploring Cinque Terre!

No guidance re best photos spots or culture

My first bad tour in 2 years. Caio Florence didnt provide education at all re photography or culture. As a result, the muttering of the travelers at the train stop was that it felt like a monotonus shuffle of cattle through clogged streets and packed train cars. Everyone was scrambling to find a good photo opportunity and cultural substance beyond just pizzeria-gelato-wine store-souveniers repeat. It felt like a tourist trap. In contrast, other tour groups provide guidance to make your trip memorable, including great photos, not just a bus/train ride.

Fabulous

Diana and Lorenza were so pleasant and friendly. They directed the group at a perfect pace for everyone. They answered all questions and provided a lot of historical information along the way. They both took the time to get to know the group and make sure everyone was accounted for. Thank you ladies for making this a great experience!!

Great journey

Diana, Lorenza and the bus driver where amazing. The trip was fun. The 1st two places where the best. Dianna took time to make my 83 year old mom feel special.
