Fairly expensive but a wonderful way to visit the villages of Cinque Terre in a 9 hour day with a personal guide. Travel included a private luxury van, boat and train. We saw all 5 villages and visited 3, Riomaggiore, Vernazza and Monterosso. Victorio was excellent- he is personable, knowledgeable and engaging and had many anecdotes and historical information to impart. A perfect day. Special thanks to our driver Leonardo.

Big mess up ended in wonderful tour.

Our tour guide, Marta, was excellent. Cinque Terre is beautiful. Our driver was excellent over some skinny, twisty roads…no one got car sick! Highly recommend going there but my booking experience with Viator was horrible. They kept sending me messages that my trip was booked for pick-up in a town 50 km from where we were staying. Then I would get another email saying I was to be picked up where I booked for. Then another email would tell me that I was wrong and that I booked for the wrong city…on and on and on for 2 weeks prior to the tour! When the day of tour arrived, we were on the list for the correct departure point I booked. I do not recommend booking with Viator!

Wrong description of package

Andre_T, May 2025
Very disappointed not to have been notified that the stop at Manarola has been removed from our package (dock under repair). I feel I was misled because the package does not represent what I bought and it was known by you (dock repair) —> false information. I think he should have compensation. Thanks.

Prachtige excursie naar Cinque Terre

Abraham_R, Sep 2023
Een hele leuke ervaring om met een kleine groep en zeer goede gids, deze excursie te ondernemen. De gids vertelde veel en was ook zeer onderhoudend naar ons en de medepassagiers.

journée très...
