It was everything I wanted to see. I had pictures in my mind and they came to life. Very well organised tour. Roberto and Giovanni gave us the insights so we could see it all.

It was a good experience! Ricardo was nice and very helpful! I booked via Epedia and the information qas not very clear because although my confirmation said semi independent with everything included, it did not cleared that the only thing i paid for was only transportation to La Spezzia! I had to buy my internal trains!

Italy is beautiful as a whole and Italians a very friendly people. It's mind blowing how they've managed to preserve and restore these centuries old villages and sites, they're amazingly beautiful and magical. Our guide Roberto was so good, helpful and informative, we wish him all the best. The tour operators are honest and give you the exact itinerary, the way it has been mapped out. Definitely money well spent and a must do

I enjoyed the trip very much. Our guide Leon was very attentive to the group and made sure we were on time for the different moments we had to catch a train, which was very relaxing and helped me to enjoy the time I had in each stop. I had the opportunity to chat with several elements of the group and even found a fellow countrywoman, which was nice. But I could also take my own step at my own rhythm and enjoy the views, lunch, snacks and shopping for souvenirs.

I would recommend anyone who visit Florence to spend a day exploring Cinque Terre. Is a beauty place to walk around and spend a day.

It was a lovely tour of four of the five cities. It was really good to be able to wander the cities by ourselves. But the tour had said there was a boat plant… Appointment, which we would be on the water to transfer to a city. But that did not happen. I must admit, I was disappointed by that.

This was an interesting tour! Our guide was excellent and the tour of the five towns was interesting. Took some great photos, not sure I’d go back to this area, but that had nothing to do with the tour. Definitely worth going to see! 100% recommend!
