A hot but magnificent day in one of the most interesting places I have ever been at. I just regret not taking a bathing suit. Other than that I won’t change a thing.

Our favorite part of the tour was taking the ferry to see all five villages. We got some amazing photos! Our driver, Jonathon, was very organized and well informed.

Giacomo was an amazing escort. He showed us the best of Cinque Terre while making us feel special and appreciated. He made reservations for us, secured us on the train between towns and recommended all the best locations in Cinque Terre. I highly recommend.

Yarris was incredibly knowledgeable on our tour. He was also a Botany expert which was so interesting especially to my 70 year old mother. He described and pointed out every plant and tree we passed! such a fun extra! He also seamlessly guided us through the train system and made sure we understood where to meet him in each town. We couldn't have asked for a better guide.

What a lovely experience as a day trip from Florence. James, our guide was knowledgeable and sweet. He gave us lots of background into all that we were passing as we made our way from the city to the UNESCO area of Cinque Terre. We visited 3 towns (in February). Although the boats DO NOT RUN in the winter months, we did take a Short train from one town to another in order not to have to hike back up a steep hill to get back to the van. James was very conscious of our abilities to traverse some of the terrains, and offered great solutions. He was a masterful driver in the twisty mountains, and we all felt very safe. He even offered some recommendations for our upcoming trip to Venice the next day. Lots of opportunity to meander through the towns and do some shopping and viewing of the incredible sights of the ocean and colorful buildings. He even arranged our lunch in one town for us, prior to picking us back up. This is a must do if you have the time while visiting Florence.

Our tour was great! Giacomo our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of great details. He also did a great job taking us through several towns in Cinque Terra. He even suggested a place for lunch and made reservations for us! Would highly recommend this tour and Giacomo.

Our guide, Leo, was absolutely perfect. Made sure to let us know what to do in each of the villages we visited while giving us some free time to explore on our own. It was a 10/10 experience and something I would recommend to anyone in the future who is looking for a day trip to a beautiful part of the country.
