Wonderful day in 3 lovely villages. Short ferry ride to each village and we got the train to the final one. Our coach driver picked us up at the 3rd village and brought us back to Pisa.. I enjoyed the day and there was lots to see, lovely restaurants and shops and beautiful scenery. I thought the day was a bit rushed and might be better with just 2 villages and more time in each. There are alot of steps and steep climbs so not really recommended if u have difficulty walking. Otherwise I would recommend the experience.

The guide was very knowledgeable and the coach was comfortable. Would definitely recommend as a way to see the Cinque Terre

A great way to see the seaside villages. Our guide was great, she was knowledgeable of the area and provided good introduction and recommendations for each of the 4 villages that we visited.

Laura was wonderful as a tour guide and we really enjoyed the day. Private van transfer to the first village, the right balance between guided information and independent time to enjoy the villages and food / drinks.

Luigi was a great tour guide! Very informative and gave us suggestions throughout the day on which restaurants/bars/shops we should try at each village.

Due to anticipated changeable weather the trip departure was only finally confirmed the preceding day. What we were not told was that there was still every possibility the included boat trips would be cancelled, which proved to be the case. We arrived at the first of three villages after 10.00 am and were already leaving at 15.00, after which we spent 2.5 hours on the road taking some travellers to Lucca before returning to Pisa from where the trip commenced. It was our last day. We had planned to organise the excursion ourselves but finally decided to 'push the boat out' and pay nearly £300 to include the ferries. We could probably done it for a fraction of the cost, followed our own agenda and stayed longer - there was never enough time at any of the stops to have a restaurant meal and see the sights. Very disappointing.

Our tour guide Luigi was so kind and so entertaining that no matter what the views or the villages would’ve been like, it’s still would’ve been good, however, the villages and the views did not disappoint. Our bus driver seemed friendly and skilled in driving and got us their timely and safely. Luigi shared a lot with us as we begin approaching the villages and the history of the wine and vines on the hills was interesting. Luigi took us a little way into three different villages and explained some things and then give us time to explore on our own and was very clear about meeting places and times and therefore everything went very smoothly.
No complaints whatsoever and feel like it was a little pricey per person, but Luigi’s commitment to ensuring each and every individual had a great time was priceless and not to mention the safe ride!!

Mario and Luigi (yes truly their name!) were informative, helpful and didn’t hover.. I felt safe as a solo female traveller and truly appreciated their insight and suggestions for restaurants and experiences in the region.
Buss we travelled in was clean, tidy and modern.. They provided water on return to bus which was well needed in the Italian summer!

Excellent trip. Luigi the guide and Alessandro the driver were a good double act and the tour was very enjoyable and informative.
S_K, Jun 2024
I am so happy i booked this tour, it was absolutely perfect. It was well organised, our guide Elena was professional, knowledgeable and so so friendly. We had Yuri as our driver and he was just as fabulous. There was only 4 of us in the group. We spent just the right amount of time at each village and we had longer in the last village for lunch. Lunch was superb and recommended by Elena.
Rebecca_A, Jun 2024
We had such an amazing time! Laura and Simona were fantastic guides, friendly and our group ended up friending each other on social media to keep up with each other :) the tour gave great highlights of each city, with Laura providing hidden gems and knowledge the entire time. A must do tour, we will be back!
Marilyn_S, May 2024
Our guide Luigi was spectacular! We felt so taken care of so we could relax and enjoy this glorious location. He led us so well with excellent instructions and also gave us free time to do our own thing. A must for this area which would have been difficult to navigate on our own. Nice small group.
Clare_C, Apr 2024
This tour was remarkable! I highly recommend you go. The sites were breathtaking and the food was delicious! Luigi our guide was knowledgeable and showed you the areas best food & locations.
Lou_V, Apr 2024
This was an excellent tour to have a view of Cinque Terre. We felt like we had the opportunity to see what was possible. We were not rushed, and Luigi gave us excellent advice and recommendations for each port, from places to see to where the best food could be found to the best gelato shops and flavors to try. Alessandro drove wonderfully and safely, and allowed us photo opportunities.
Tina_B, Aug 2023
Went to Cinqen terra on a day trip this week with my son, it was amazing. Our guide Luigi was so helpful and engaging making the trip more memorable would highly recommend him.
Mark_T, Aug 2023
Brilliant day, Luigi our tour guide was excellent, gave us some great tips on what to check out in each village & made the day really enjoyable. Thanks Luigi ...
John_C, Jul 2023
This tour is definitly worth it. Luigi is an excellent guide. We were never left in the dark about any situations. He is very knowledgeable and also recommended places to eat regional specialties. We tried some and he was spot on. Simone our driver made the trip fast and safe. She was very funny. She knows how to honk well and get the air conditioned van moving along. One suggestion... italy is very hot in july. Dress cool. There are breezes in the streets between buildings to stay cool. Definitly bring swim suit for monterossa beach. You will enjoy for 2 hours if you wanted to. Ferry ride was scenic. 5 tars to Luigi and Simone!

A great day, Irish girls, a London girl, an New Zealand couple & a Australian girl all together on a trip, great tour guide and lovely van driver.
Carolyne_B, Apr 2023
A great experience. We were lucky that the ferry had just started again for the season. Be warned that this tour isn’t really suitable for people with mobility issues. (Steep hills and getting on and off the boats can be tricky).
Frank_M, Nov 2022
We were very fortunate to be the only two on this tour during our off season visit. Luigi, our tour guide, was Incredibly knowledgeable about the towns and the surrounding areas. This was an excellent tour and we enjoyed every moment of it.
Emma_R, Aug 2022
Initially I thought the trip was a little pricey but I’m so pleased we booked. The scenery is stunning, the boat trip was lovely and Marta was a fantastic guide - knowledgable, organised and very helpful.
Weng, Aug 2022
Visiting all 5 villages was really a nice experience. The boat ride was fun and exciting. Martha was very informative and accommodating, nice and kind. Alessandro was a good driver. Overall was such fantastic and magnificent tour. Recommendable tour but be sure to wear comfortable shoes or rather wear slippers as walking down and uphill.
Nancy_K, Jun 2022
This was one of the best tours I have ever experienced. The tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly. We had just enough time at each village and were able to truly soak up the local Italian flavors and sights. Highly recommend
Darren_D, Jun 2022
Well organised tour by guide Petra who was knowledgeable and organised all our tickets and train rides and gave us enough time to explore. Driver Giuseppe was great too in getting us to and from Pisa safely.
Laura_S, Jun 2022
Good trip. You get to see 4 of the 5 villages. We had to travel by train as the sea was too bad for the boats, trains were very fast and easy. It does need to be clear in the group description that it is a maximum of 8 passengers in the vehicle you are picked up but the trip is max 15 persons overall. As you don’t spend much time together it’s not that much of an issue. You are dropped off in each village and given time to explore. I feel for the price, you are mainly paying for the transportation and organisation between the villages which you could do yourself: Marta, our tour guide, was a lovely person however I didn’t really understand why she was there at times as she didn’t give much information at the villages and I googled a lot of the history myself when there (or listened to the other trips going on). Overall it is a nice day out however I think the cost you pay for the trip is not necessarily worth it if you are an organised person who could arrange trains themselves.
Angela_C, Apr 2022
Martha is the best tour guide.She even managed to locate my friends missing jacket. We had lunch at Tusca Bistro.Loved it
Gregory_B, Sep 2019
A must when visiting Pisa. It was a small group of 12 people, hotel pick up and drop off was provided. We had a very knowledgeable guide, Luca for this tour. The towns are so quaint. The boat ride was a great way to view the villages from the water.
