Cinque Terre should not be missed!

Cinque Terre is amazing and should not be missed. It is beautiful and this tour allows you plenty of time to explore without being stuck in a large group. That is good because the tour guide was not good. He was sick and admitted to us that he had a fever and cough. The radios worked as far as we knew but the guide would not speak into the microsphone so you could not hear nor understand him. The only negative outside of this was that the ferry was crammed packed and you could not s e the coastline well from the inside seats. Make sure you bring your swimwear. The sea at Monterosso is crystal clear.

Tour guide sick with fever and flu symptoms.

The host arrived, complaining about being sick with a cold and running a fever. He in fact became so sick he was unable to complete the tour. This is completely unacceptable. He exposed all the guests who are traveling in bus and in return, we will expose everyone we travel with internationally.

Beautiful Cinque Terre

The coast line of Cinque Terre was not to be missed, with its rocky terrain & beautiful colors!! Our guide was wonderful, she was well informed & did a good job keeping us all together. There was plenty of free time to explore each town, & the ferry ride was an extra treat!

Friends on tour

Our tour guides were amazing!! The bus driver took very good care of us on the long rides up and back! It's a lot of walking and very strenuous! But a good tour. Very organized!

Better one than five

Beautiful places without enough time to get to know them. You walk a lot following the guide. You go from one train to another... The guides seem to be on autopilot. Maybe it is better to get to know just one of the 5 towns but with more time and dedication because they end up looking all the same.
