Great Value for a Wonderful Experience
Claudius was a fantastic tour guide! The beauty he showed us & the knowledge he bestowed upon us was incredible. Be sure to book the semi-private tour, the van with only 8 guests was comfortable and was just the right size group. Claudius provided radion transmitters & head-sets for all. There was quite a bit of walking and it involved uphill paths. Claudius gave us great guidance to the most picturesque views and spectacular walkways to use. There is plenty of opportunity to shop and enjoy the food. Be prepared to use many modes of transportation, we traveled by vehicle, trains & boat. All was worthwhile and Claudius made all arrangements for train tickets and passage on & off ferries. This was a tremendous value for the experience received. It was a long day but worth every minute!!

William and Matteo were...
William and Matteo were amazing guides! We had so much fun at our swim spot and I appreciated that we didn’t feel rushed enjoying our time. William gave us info about each village as we passed and Matteo served us all our focaccia and wine. Completely recommend!!

Highly Recommended. Veronica very knowledgeable with Cinque Terre
Very satisfied with our Cinque Terre tour experience. Our guide, Veronica, knows Cinque Terre very well. She is fully capable to agreeably tailor-make (adjust) the tour if weather or other circumstances arise. She assisted with train ticket purchase. Veronica gave narrative of each town and allowed time for self strolling / shopping. The tour pace was sufficient. She led the tour to areas (views) we would not have found touring on our own. Veronica gave very good restaurant and shop recommendations.

Awesome tour, awesome tour guide!
The trip was fantastic, and we were able to see three beautiful villages. Jonathan was a superb tour guide and got us to each location early, which helped us avoid the crowds and make the most of our time. It is a long day with quite a bit of travel and relatively short stops at each destination, but we felt there was enough time to enjoy each one. I would have loved an extra hour in Monterosso swimming in the Mediterranean, and Jonathan said that was an option, but we chose to see all of the villages instead. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and Jonathan’s organization and local knowledge made the day run smoothly.

This tour was the highlight of our entire trip!
This is a must do! My husband and I travel extensively and this was one of the most amazing experiences. Seeing Cinque Terre from the water was magical. Our captain made the experience wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the area and explained the UNESCO designation along with some great history. We got to take fantastic pictures and even swim. We had delicious prosecco and on the way back we played music and our captain joined in to sing. Overall a perfect experience. Don't hesitate to book. So pleased.

Enjoy the amazing views of the Cinque Terre coastline by land and sea.
We really enjoyed our tour of three villages located in the gorgeous Cinque Terre region of Italy. Our tour guide, Veronica was quite knowledgeable and also kind. We discovered and learned about the history highlights of Monterosso, Vernazza and Manarola.

Wonderful day in cinque terre
Loredana was a wonderful guide and ensured the tour was optimised for my wife and I. It is a long day given 3hr train trip each way from Milan, but definitely worth it.
Having a personal guide compared to group tours is a much better way to see these beautiful towns and small streets. Insight knowledge, accommodating your interests, etc... certainly made the day extra special.
Thank you again Loredana for making this such a special day.

Many excursions center around the Mediterranean and include time on the water, whether by private boat, paddleboard, or kayak. On land, you can hike the scenic trails that connect the villages, enjoy local food and wine tastings, or join a small-group walking tour to learn about the region’s history.
