A Day We Won't Forget

5.00Our tour guide, Sonia, was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have asked for anyone better to take us around Cinque Terre. Because that is her hometown we felt like we got an extra special experience. She knew all of the ins and outs of the five towns and was constantly being greeted by locals as we walked around. Everything she recommended (restaurants, wine, gelato, shopping) were 10/10. This was the highlight of our European vacation!
Best time in Cinque Terre

5.00Our guide was very knowledgeable, accommodating and very friendly . We asked for changes and a return via ferry. She made all arrangements on the spot.

5.00we loved our guide Stefano! He is so knowledgeable about the area and we learned so much! He had great suggestions for restaurants and shopping. He guided us to all of the villages of Cinque Terrre by walking from one village to another as well as the train and the ferry. We loved experiencing all aspects and made it an adventure! Highly recommend!

5.00Marta was amazing!!! She texted us upon ship’s arrival to describe where and how to meet her. She had all the tickets purchased in advance (ie train, boat, pathway of love, etc). She les us to the front of all lines, allowed us time for browsing and shopping…she took our pictures and texted us. She was simply amazing!
Best of Italy

5.00What an experience. We were not sure what to expect, but man it was amazing! Our guide Guilia, I hope I spelled that right, was wonderful. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable, but took changes with ease and grace. It was so informative and wonderful. An experience my whole family will remember forever.
A beautiful set of vista’s…did we need an expensive guide?

3.00What was nice about this tour was that our guide facilitated our movement from train to train to ferry. There is not many sightseeing spots so other than telling us where to eat there was nothing else for her to do. It clearly was not worth the 1200+ dollars for the 6 of us. This could have been done by ourselves.
Once in a lifetime experience ❤️

5.00Emilio was a phenomenal tour guide. Super knowledgeable and kept everything running smoothly without it feeling rushed. He made the day really easy to navigate. We were able to see all the villages except Corniglia and still felt like we got a great experience at each stop. He really went above and beyond — recommended a delicious restaurant in Vernazza and handled all the train and ferry logistics so we didn’t have to think about anything. Would definitely recommend him if you want a well-organized, stress-free tour. It was my second time visiting Cinque Terre, but the first time for my family. My four year old had a wonderful time.
Amazing day

5.00Nice having a guide so you don’t have to navigate on your own. There are trains to catch and a ferry. You go from one island to another and it’s very reassuring to know that the guide takes you there. Our guide.Lauradona was wonderful and helpful!
Cinque Terre is...
