5.00Luigi was the driver and guide for the day. He has all the knowledge for the trips, where to meet, best cafe and restaurants to go to in each of the villages, we tried gelato with basil as he suggested and loved it. Luigi gave us the guidance where to go and what to do, it was great and my wife and I had a fantastic time. If I ever come back to these parts, we want Luigi to be our guide. A trip to Cinque Terre with a small group of people, 6 in total and Luigi was the best.

4.00A long and tiring day but made up for by the amazing scenery. Particularly enjoyed the boat trips between the villages. Everywhere very busy as two large cruise ships were docked in La Spezia the day we went. Pre-trip info makes it clear that you need to be able to go up and down steps but doesn't mention the lengthy (20 - 25 mins). walk from the coach drop off in La Spezia to the station at the beginning and end of the tour.
GREAT DAY OUT

5.00Valery was a wonderful tour guide. I lived learning the history of the region. She was so knowledgeable in all things Cinque Terre. My daughter and I enjoyed eating the pasta, long beans and pesto recommended lunch at an outside restaurant. My most favorite things were the granita and lemoncino!
