Our guide was kind and very knowledgeable. We truly appreciated her attention to detail and compassion about the Cinque Terre. Definitely would recommend this tour to everyone. The small group size was perfection for navigating each town effortlessly. The magical scenery and atmosphere of each town was charming and inviting.

Great day out in the 5 towns of of

Jill_J, Aug 2025
There is a lot of walking and it’s probably hot!!! Trains are air conditioned. Lots of other groups queuing at stations. Only a lengthy stop at one town. The others are 30-45 mins only time to walk Main Street and but an ice or a drink. Lunch stop longer. We missed a boat trip as sea was rough. But that would be better - to see the coastline from the sea. You need Euros cash for some restaurants - check before you order!!!

Dear Jill, thank you for your useful words! We’d love to welcome you back to the Cinque Terre—when the weather cooperates, join us for a beautiful boat tour to make your next visit even more special!

Magical Experience!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the Cinque Terre with Letizia—her knowledge, care, and passion make the experience truly special. We’re also glad you appreciated the small group atmosphere and the beauty of each town. We hope to welcome you back soon for another of our Tuscany Daily Tours!

This was a beautiful tour...

Jessica_T, Jun 2025
This was a beautiful tour with great sightseeing! Our group was the perfect size and fun to spend time with. Got plenty of time with the group but also separately and saw four out of the five towns (the fifth is generally not visited by tourists). Our guide had some historical knowledge of the areas, but would have liked a bit more for the price of the tour!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Jessica, thank you so much for your words. We strive to have small groups tours in order to dedicate to each visitor the best of the experience. However we'd like to highlight that this was an escorted tour, not a guided one. Letizia is 100% committed and she always does her best to guarantee you top experiences. So come back anytime to discover Tuscany at its best!

Our guide did a great job of keeping us on time for the train schedule. She was very helpful in directing us to the best parts of each village.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your opinion. Thank you very much!

Fabulous, loved it, great day and memories!

Kelly_C, Oct 2024
Having someone take the stress out of navigating train times and tickets and to have the knowledge of the area what to see and do made this day trip really enjoyable. We would not have had such an enjoyable time or been able experience all areas of cinque Terre without our guide. Loved it and so happy we took the tour. I saw big your groups walking round and was so thankful for our small personalised tour/guide. Well worth it Thank you Letizia 😀😀😀😀😀

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Madam, thank you very much for your time and for sharing your thoughts. I’m glad you fully understand the advantage of travelling in small groups!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feelings about this experience!

Not enough time..too busy schedule

Tom_G, May 2023
The coach was packed when we were picked up and we were unable to sit together. The tour itself was very busy and we had limited time at each village. The tour would be better if it included the best village plus a boat trip with ample time to spend in the village to explore and relax.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you for sharing! That's why from 2024 we offer a semi-private tour from Montecatini, a very small group size, with no stress for guests.

It was lovely, but there...

SaraC_R, Apr 2023
It was lovely, but there were a few transport issues. Met some neat people. I would go again. Maybe w another guide.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you for taking the time to give a review. 5 terre is not a simple country and sometimes transport breaks down, but we try to solve them. We are sorry if we were not able to make the best for you.

A Picture Perfect Excursion

Yvonne_S, Sep 2022
Wow! This was my favorite tour of this vacation! Our guide, Felipa, was AMAZING! She kept us informed of what to expect and where to be while guiding us by bus, train, and boat. The 4 villages we visited were breathtaking! My photos look like the ones I've seen on puzzles and calendars. Wow, what a great excursion. A must do!

Response from Host, Sep 2022
