The guide was great, very patient and kind, we were able to visit the 5 towns, the transport was good, instructions clear, etc. However if you want to really enjoy each town do it yourself, that way you will have the time to relax and take the time to enjoy, the tour was amazing but a little bit fast.

great experience

rafael_v, Oct 2023

Flushed our money away

Rich_T, Oct 2023

Worst experience ever, and no support from either Viator or the tour company. No words to express our disappointment.

We had a great time.

Paul_S, Sep 2023

We had a great time. The scenery was spectacular. The ferry was really nice. Our group stayed together really well.

race

Barbara_W, Aug 2023

the guide was very nice. it felt like we were on a race versus getting to enjoy. i would recommend others doing seaside areas in italy in their own.

Terrible

Barbara_S, Aug 2023

Your tour agent was terrible! We could not find the train we were on. He gave us no direction except look for the pink building. He came to find us last minute. We were terified. I would never recommend Viator.

Long But Enjoyable Day

Kimberly_S, Jun 2023

This tour was a lot like being on a cruise. You get to experience a location for a short period of time and then it's onto the next place. Approximately 1 hr at each village which can be not long enough. We really enjoyed the train rides, bus and ferry trip. Be sure to be on time or they may leave without you! If you are going to stop for lunch, get to your restaurant sooner than later to make sure you have time to eat before you have to leave. Also, bring a swimsuit and towel because there are a couple of spots you can swim if you want. Be ready for LOTS of steps! Our guide Juliano was very good but at times a bit hard to understand. Our's was about a 14 hour day. We would definitely like to go back to Cinque Terre and stay for a while.

Worst Experience Ever

Sarah_H, Jun 2023

No clear, detailed instruction on the meeting place made us hard time to get to the meeting point in a very busy train station in Firenze. We ran around asking people and arrived before the departure time of 7 AM and the lady at the tour office told us to go to another place outside the train station; we ran another 10 min to the place and waited for over 20 min with no help and then another tour group guide called our group guide and said "They left at 6:50." We messaged Viator using WhatsApp; received the message that the refund would be processed within 3 days. 4 days have passed; no refund yet.

Solo travel to Cinque Terre

Thomas_M, May 2023

i loved this tour it was my dream to be able to visit cinque terre during my solo trip to italy. I was able to rely on this agency who provided a very organized guide on board who made me live this experience without worries

Started very badly, could be way better

Ryna_L, May 2023

I'm not happy at all that way before the departure time, I received a call to tell me that the bus is leaving without me because for them I wasn't on time. City Sightseeing said it is Viator who doesn't announce the right time. It doesn't matter, Viator or CS is the same, I paid for an excursion. The woman at the desk said it's too late when I arrived though it was 5 minutes before the departure. And when she noticed there was also a couple of Indian who were also waiting like me for the same tour, she decided to tell us "if you run you can catch them" but not telling us the way to join them. Lucky i had a tour the day before so I somehow knew the way, but can you imagine, we were running with our sandals and almost felt down. So if the couple wasn't there, she would have never said to me I could catch the group....how honest is this? It's only about money. When I booked my 2 tours in Portugal and 1 in Italy the day before that one, people were late and there was no problem to wait for them, neither was it to use other travellers time to wait for the belated ones, and now they rush me ten minutes before the time so I had to run, and all to hear "they left" pffff A couple of French was not happy either because when they've booked the trip, they've been told that they would have lunch included until they noticed it wasn't the case.... The rest of the trip was nice, the guide Giuliano is also great but what did make the trip very pleasant was mainly thanks to other travellers, the landscape and the good weather. The only thing that I could complain was the timing, it was about an hour in every village and once we have 1h20, but not enough to eat because during lunch time it's crowded everywhere so the service is more slow and one hour is not enough to go shopping in any place. But it didn't matter much to me as I prefer to visit more places than spending time shopping, but I can understand that people who want to shop can't be upset. I think you add 2hrs more on this tour would be perfect.

Walking the streets and...

Raymond_P, Apr 2023

Walking the streets and the great colours of the towns. The instructions on the meeting point were a little confusing so were there very early and could not find the operator. Found them at the last minute after walking around for 20 minutes.

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience.

Wonderful tour

Juanito_T, Apr 2023

Wonderful tour the view was breathtaking there were many people at the train stops but fortunately by choosing this tour we had an excellent guide who guided and helped us in everything!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience with us!

perfect travel solution to villages of CinqueTerre

Thomas_M, Apr 2023

Visit of the Cinque Terre from Florence. There are actually five villages (cinque in Italian means five) but with this tour we visit 4 of them, the most beautiful and those by the sea. The bus transport is up to a station and then the tour is by train with a multilingual guide who explained many curiosities to us. Really very nice and recommended us the best food!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hi, thank you for share your experience with us!

So great!

Lindsay_M, Apr 2023

I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was kind, understanding and always gave punctual and very useful information for organizing my free time visit to the villages.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hi, thanks for your review!

Perfect day trip from Flornce to cinque Terre villages

Will_F, Apr 2023

Such a romantic place! The guide was great he explained us everything about the Cinque Terre villages and helped us a lot to organize our free time in the various places. My wife was mesmerized by the view seen from the boat. I highly recommend this tour and the staff of this tour operator

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience with our tours! We are happy with that thanks to our service you have experienced a beautiful day in the Cinque Terre!

Very satisfied

Becky_M, Apr 2023

Is a Cinqueterre day tour departing from the Florence train station. The meeting poing was easy to find, our guide explained all the points to visit and was very kind. The day is long but the visit is relaxing because the single villages can be quickly visited because they are small, colorful and lovely. Eating focacia with the sea breeze was a dream. Comfortable return by bus to Florence.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Cinque Terre maravilloso.

MariaPia_R, May 2024

Cinque Terre muy bello e interesante. La verdad es que el tiempo se hace poco. Para volver de todas maneras.

Organizzazione non al top

Daniela_L, Sep 2023

Organizzazione non al top, difficoltà trovare punti di incontro durante l’escursione, soprattutto da rivedere il punto di incontro la mattina alla partenza dalla Stazione di Firenze, poco visibile e scarse informazioni

tour organizzato alle cinque terre

Antonio_D, May 2023

Non ero mai stato alle cinque terre! Bellissima giornata con una guida eccezionale che ha aiutato noi e tutto il gruppo ad orientarci: informazioni chiare, precise e c'è tutto il tempo per mangiare in ogni singolo villaggio. Noi abbiamo scelto la focaccia a manarola come street food e a riomaggiore un bel gelato sul belvedere. Il giro in battello è stato adorato dai miei due bambini, veramente complimenti!

Personale attento ai bisogni delle famiglie - Cinque Terre con partenza da Firenze

Annarita_B, May 2023

Tour fatto con due bambini sotto i 10 anni. La partenza da Firenze è la mattina presto ma è stato perfetto, con il loro itinerario abbiamo potuto evitare DI SABATO le tante persone nelle ore di punta, era l'unica cosa che ci preoccupava e non è successa. Guida eccezionale, un signore molto disponibile paziente e competente. I bambini hanno mangiato, si sono divertiti sul giro in battello e anche noi ci siamo veramente potuti godere il mare e la vista.

Cinque terre da Firenze

Arianna_T, May 2023

Bel tour organizzato da Firenze. Eravamo un gruppo di amiche ed avere una persona dedicata per aiutarci durante le visite e il nostro tempo libero è stata una bella idea.
