Fantastic Day!

We had a fantastic day with Lisa! She was very professional and kept everyone on track, despite challenges with the train schedule. She was helpful and answered all questions when we had them. Highly recommended!

A beautiful way to spend a day!

The Tour included our local guide, train tickets, valid till midnight, so we could stay after the conclusion of our tour and a limoncino tasting. We explored 3 of the 5 Terre and were given plenty of time, before meeting up again to travel as a group to the next station. Being shoulder season, the crowds weren't excessive, the weather was brilliant and made climbing stairs and exploring, easier. There were plenty of choices for dining and the relaxed atmosphere was delightful. Romina, our guide was so helpful and accomodating, showing us where to meet and sending us train tickets if we chose to stay longer. Highly recommend this tour.

A World Wonder!

Our guide, Romina, gave us plenty of time in these amazing towns. Visiting 3 out of the 5 Terre in this tour by train was a great way to appreciate their unique and beautiful terrain. Romina gave us the option to stay longer and utilise our tickets and explore the other 2 villages after our tour concluded. This region is a must see, as it is UNESCO listed, please be aware of the tickets that cover protections and restrictions for this incredible and beautiful area.

Friendly, Great Communication, Worth It!

Off-Season very small group (3 + guide). Very thorough communication from company coordinating meeting. Text, then phone call to make sure we located our guide at the train station. Our guide, Lisa, was super friendly and energetic. Spoke great English and knew the Cinque Terra area very well. She had great insights. Lisa recommended an amazing place for lunch in Vernazza (get the stuffed muscles you will not be disappointed). We also took her dinner recommendation in La Spezia which was a super cool hidden (downstairs) gem. Lisa took pictures for us and was simply awesome. Tour was well paced, with plenty of time to see the villages and take it in! Climb the tower in Vernazza (if you’re able), the view is worth it! Off season, Monterosso was pretty much shuttered. Riomaggiore and Vernazza had more to offer (but Monterosso was a much larger geographic area to explore). Tour complete made it easy to see Cinque Terra Highly recommend.
