A fantastic trip with an excellent guide. Luigi was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. The villages were uniquely lovely and to arrived by ferry was fab. Well organised and excellent transport from Lucca to meet the main group. Plenty of time in each village to explore the sights. Would recommend this tour.

From start to finish the day is a magical adventure, whether strolling along the cliff side streets, boating along the coastline, swimming in the Mediterranean, savoring black and white pasta and calamari with a glass of wine, taking in the astonishing architecture’s, or sharing stories with people, it all is coordinated, maneuvered and made fascinating and so very interesting by the guide - ask any question and the answers were unfolded creating a picture and story as if living in a fairy tale.
Very well organised Laura and Emilia were lovely and very knowledgeable. Enough time to look round the villages we visited
The tour was wonderful and Mart was fantastic! We learned so much from her before we even arrived at the first town. Ferry was great, just a totally good day! Thank you!
The Cinque Terre tour was very good! Vittorio was extremely knowledgeable about everything, and he was attentive to all of our needs. It was a long day but it went very quickly. I would like to return.
Martha our guide and driver arrived promptly for pickup. We were the only two people on the tour and Martha was so friendly and warm, it made conversation during our drive so easy. She was a fabulous guide, taking us to 3 of the 5 villages. We had a great day visiting Cinque Terre.
Very interesting, cultural and beautiful colorful villages built on the cliffs overlooking the ocean.
Really great day out exploring the towns on Cinque Terre, our guide Martha was great and gave some good recommendations for lunch in Monterosso. If you’re after some beautiful ceramics that are made locally, I would highly recommend the store in Maranola, the first town we stopped at along the trip. The other towns’ offerings were not as good and I wish I could go back and buy more.
We enjoyed a wonderful day with our tour guide Marie (Mare). We learned so much from her about the area and she took us to the most beautiful places in Cinque Terre. We would definitely recommend and do again.
It was a great tour! There was plenty of time in each stop to shop and eat! Victor was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable but gave us space in each spot to do our own thing. Highly recommend!
A beautiful day that was made so easy thanks to a great guide! We took a bus to a ferry -and experienced three different towns. Would recommend highly!
Lots to see in a short period of time. Knowledgeable, flexible, friendly guide. Nice to have a motor coach drive you home after all the fun! We were able to see 4 of the 5 cities that make up Cinque Terra. We spent an appropriate amount of time in each location. The motor coach to La Spezia was pleasant as were the ferry rides and the final motor coach back was key. We were all exhausted by the end of the day and the driver took great care to get us home happily and safely. This tour was well planned and excuted - would definitely book again.
Cinque Terre by minibus and boat. Roberto was a brilliant safe driver, picking us up from Lucca to the first village. Marta provided so much information on the history of Lucca and the Cinque Terre. Then making sure we made each ferry to our final pick up point. Well done both.
Great tour. Weather was windy so not able to take the ferry to all the stops. Rained at last stop which put a damper on the trip. Tour guide Vittorio was very good.
It was great experience. Lately I have been having trouble with my left hip and was able to walk to all the villages from the boat.
Bring water, you can buy on the trip if needed.
It was a very nice day. The pick up in Lucca went smoothly, the drive to Cinque Terre was very pleasant, and then Marta led us to 3 towns by ferry. If you want a tour guide to lead you around the towns, this wouldn’t be the tour for you. This tour capably moves you from one location to another and then gives a good amount of free time in each location.
Overall great. Would have enjoyed more history of these towns and how do folks live and go to school if they are year round residents. More background and stories.
Great guide was very organised and pleasant to do the tour with. Didn't have much time in each location would have been nice to be able to spend more time at each place
Accidentally staying on the ferry when the rest if my group got off! So relieved when they caught up with me! Our tour leader, Luigi, was a real treasure. Bus was very comfortable. A memorable day out.
Laura, our tour guide, was beyond fantastic and although weather was challenging she make the whole day fun, interesting and very enjoyable. I totally recommend her tour! She was so attentive to all details and our needs.
Each place got better as we went up the coast. Also the prices of all things were lower as went up the coast.
The villages of the Cinque Terre we visited were amazing. Our guide Laura was perfect - she gave us enough information and space to explore the villages in our own way. We were always well supported. The good, the villages and the whole experience was perfect.
A fantastic trip with an excellent guide. Luigi was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. The villages were uniquely lovely and to arrived by ferry was fab. Well organised and excellent transport from Lucca to meet the main group. Plenty of time in each village to explore the sights. Would recommend this tour.
Great time, guide did a great job, pity it rained the first half of day and we had to catch trains instead of the ferry
Wonderful day and experience! Both driver and Laura were very knowledgeable! We would use them again.
We got to see 4 of the villages and go by ferry between them. The water views were spectacular. Our guide was knowledgeable, made great recommendations in the towns, and it was a wonderful way to take the stress out of sightseeing.
Elena the tour guide was fantastic. The places we saw were wonderful, magi al. Elena was knowledgeable and told us lots of history as we were going.to Cinque Terra. Lived it.
I traveled solo on the tour from Lucca since my husband was on business that day. Beautiful views, good food, local shopping and very nice people (there were 12 of us traveling).
It was a long day and hot weather, but still a great time. Our guide Luigi was so wonderful and he made us laugh as well as making sure we had a good time.
Great area, lots to explore. Highly recommend. Awesome guide. The are is chock-fill of scenery. The food is magnificent!
Boat ride, tour guide. Food and cities. Shopping good too. Weather perfect. Learned a lot about marble quarries.
Our tour guide, Luiggi, was fantastic--lots of fun and very informative. Wonderful tastes of food in each village we visited. An extremely worthwhile trip to the Med coast.
