Fabian was an outstanding tour guide and driver. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the area and shared amazing insites and history. He took great care of us during the trip and was able to adjust the itinerary to allow us to see all 5 villages with plenty of time to explore each location. We highly recommend booking your visit with Fabian!

Thank you for your review! We are happy you enjoyed your tour with Ryan. We hope you had a pleasant trip back home. All the best. Enotropea Team

Great trip, bad customer service when things went wrong.

Leslie_E, Mar 2024

If we were just reviewing our experience with Kristin, our guide, we would give this tour 5 stars. She was excellent!! Very pleasant to spend the day with and showed us a great time and wonderful experience of the 5 towns. Only 3 stars because of the owner, Angel, who was not very helpful and seemed uncaring about the situation that we found ourselves in during the trip. The electric car that we were in had a MAJOR ISSUE with its ability to charge ( which he was well aware of before we left for the coast from Florence). We were trying to return to Florence but the car did not charge throughout the day. We were stuck in a small town, in the dark and in the cold, until it charged long enough to get us to a gas station that was a “super charge” portal. We ended up eating bread and packaged cheese and meat for dinner!! Not really worth the $1100 euro (dollars) that we spent. Arrived home 2 hours late and exhausted! Poor Kristen was left to apologize for something that she had nothing to do with. She did her best and we were grateful for her. Worst part, no apology or email from Angel acknowledging the scary position that we were place in that evening.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Leslie. I'm very sorry for not contacting you in the past few days. I cannot go into details and give you the reason why. I did everything I could from where I was, which was not in Firenze, but 2 hours away. Unfortunately it is not the first time that a similar case has happened and I did everything in my power to solve the problem. Kristin did a great job and when she put the car on charge, my phone told me it was charging, if it had been the other way around I would have told her right then and there. Please accept my deepest apologies for what happened.

Fantastico walking tour

Loreen_A, Oct 2023

We had a lovely tour, We met Niccoletta at the square , She was so kind & full of amazing facts about Florence, We walked around the sites of the Duomo & Arno River & learned so much! She adapts to the pace you need to go, she had a great sense of humor & by the end of the tour , she felt like an old friend, we went to see the David & we passed all the long lines to get into the museum, she was very informative about the paintings, sculptures & of course, the David, which was a highlight of the tour ,that we will never forget , she knows Florence like the back of her hand & we were so happy to take all the information she had, in, We fully recommend this tour!

Mixed review of beautiful place

Nancy_M, Sep 2023

Our guide Danieli was wonderful and the scenery of Cinque Terre were the highlights. Beautiful vista’s ad Danieli’s detailed explanations enhanced the tour. He was a wealth of information both on our 2 hour ride from Florence…and on our return trip. Great guide!! He truly felt bad about the train delays. The only negatives ….no reflection on Viator or Danieli..we’re the crowds of people in all 5 towns and the very poor train service. We wasted about 90 minutes on delayed trains and the hordes of tourists made it almost impossible to keep with our schedule. It was a great tour but when we got back to Florence we were exhausted from standing and waiting and from the mobs of people that choked us at every beautiful picture site and on every train.

A day in Cinque Terre

Sally_W, Sep 2023

We went to see all five villages, but our favorite, and most enjoyable was the village of Corniglia. We had lunch at the top of the mountain, overlooking the sea, with a three course meal fresh on the sea. Daniel was our guide, and he was more than amazing! He gave us a wealth of information, and was so passionate about his country. If you want to take this tour and you are lucky enough to have Daniel, we believe that you will be in for the best day of your vacation!

Amazing

Christopher_A, Sep 2023

This was probably the best part of our trip. Our guide was excellent. He gave us enough information when needed but also enough time for us to go put and explore on our own. Cinque Terre is absolutely beautiful.

Our guide, Angel, was amazing. He was very polite, and personable. We felt safe with him. He knew which times where the best to visit each city to avoid the big crowds, whenever possible. We enjoyed our day. Cinqueterre is worth seeing.

Perfect Day Trip

francis_g, Aug 2023

Where to begin?! We were incredibly fortunate to have Angel as our tour guide for our trip. During our time in Florence our daughter got unexpectedly sick, and Angel's exceptional kindness and flexibility made all the difference. Not only did he reschedule the tour but he adjusted the pace of the tour to suit her needs so it was manageable yet still fun, it was the perfect balance between adventure and consideration. We also got to see the most beautiful views and experience what Cinque Terre is from the perspective of a “local”. His knowledge of the area was evident as he skillfully guided us through scenic spots, sharing fun stories and historical anecdotes that entertained all of us. We're sincerely grateful for his efforts and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a fun, thoughtful, dedicated guide that will make you smile and laugh! We laughed A LOT. Angel arrived at our pickup right on time and although he had a general schedule we never felt rushed or hurried, and he was always very flexible depending on what we wanted to do. I would definitely do this tour again! Until the next time though, we will always remember this incredibly special tour with the fondest memories! Gracias Angel/Luigi!!!

Cinque Terre Private Day Trip from Florence

Ingrid_L, Aug 2023

The visit to Cinque Terre is smooth sailing and fantastic thanks to our tour guide Daniele. We were picked up from our hotel in Florence at 7:00 a.m. We arrived at the train station around 9 a.m. We visited the fourth village first and had breakfast there. Then we took the train to the fifth village and took the boat to the first village. The boat tour offered a panoramic view of the entire island. Also going in the reverse direction helped us avoid the crowd. We then had a nice lunch in Manarola and enjoyed a nice walk to the top of the hill. Without Daniele's careful planning and knowledge of the island, it is impossible for us to visit all five villages in one day without getting lost. I highly recommend the Entropea Tours company.

Hello Ingrid We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We are very happy that you have enjoyed your tour with Daniele in Cinque Terre region. Daniele sends his regards and hope to see you again.

Everything you want and more

Karen_D, Jul 2023

Angel was the perfect tour guide. He navigated the busy train and streets of Cinque Terre and Pisa to give us the best memories. He reversed our trip to escape the crowd and it worked. We exchanged one village for Pisa. The whole day felt like we were spending it with a close friend who knew everything we wanted to know and more. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing, beautiful day in Cinque Terre with incredible guide Freddy!

Kirsten_G, Jul 2023

Freddy was an incredible guide for the day. This tour was absolutely worth it. During the drive from Florence, Freddy pointed out all the places that we were passing through. He even pointed out Carrara, where all the marble is mined from, and noted that we only have 400 years of marble mining left there. It seemed like Freddy knew everything when it came to Italian culture and history, and we kept recounting things we had learned from him for the rest of our trip. Even during our trip to the Uffizi galleries days later, we recounted stories Freddy had told us about the Medici and several painters in the museum. Freddy took us from town to town, sharing their history, most beautiful views, and - the best food! In the middle of the day we sat down to lunch, and it was perfect. Beautiful fish, pasta, dessert, and wine! He also gave us a couple of hours in the middle of the day in the biggest town, Monterosso, to chill and hang out at the beach alone. We took that opportunity to visit one of Italy's best beach clubs and grab an aperol spritz. Definitely bring your swim suit and and soak up the sun on this tour. Freddy also was open to anything if we wanted to spend more time in a certain town, or doing a certain activity; the experience was entirely tailored to you. I couldn't recommend the tour and Freddy specifically even more. It was a day we will always remember.

Great day at Cinque Terra

Maria_L, May 2023

We had a fantastic day with Freddy, our tour guide. He showed us some beautiful scenery and villages. He also took us to a great restaurant for lunch. He was able to navigate some challenges that we experienced with the trains that day. His number one goal was to make sure we had a wonderful day.

Truly Perfect

MICHAEL_W, May 2023

While the Cinque Terre was breathtaking and so enjoyable, our private guide - Johnny - is the true gem. He made this day so fun, informational, interesting, customized… couldn’t recommend this more. Truly a memorable experience. 11/10, would recommend. Will see Johnny again for whatever tours he has going!

Completely Satisfied, wonderful experience, words do not do justice

William_N, Apr 2023

Johnny picked us up early, and immediately began our tour of Florence, even though we were going to Cinque Terre, so our entire trip was filled with information that we were excited to receive. We had a wonderful lunch, free time, great boat ride between villages, in depth back and forth talk about the villages, we were able to do 4 of the 5 and enjoyed the entire 12 hours, we decided the 5th village was too much and was so satisfied we with our tour. He did a great job and is is a true gentlemen and also knows the flora well which we also took advantage of Many thanks

Amazing experience

Anthony_T, Apr 2023

Freddy, our guide for the day, collected us right on time and filled us in of the history of the part of Italy we were driving through at the time. He is so knowledgeable and shared with us fascinating facts and anecdotes (and I am not going to spoil it). A train to the Italian Riviera – Cinque Terre; the Mediterranean Sea – and looking across you could see France. As we walked through each town, more history and anecdotes. The water – wow – a very intense turquoise/blue. This area is so inaccessible that we saw building materials being delivered by helicopter. We had lunch at one town - fresh seafood and local pesto pasta. The pesto, made with local basil, was a pale green and so flavoursome. The seafood so fresh it was sweet. I would do this tour again - in a heartbeat.

Only tour to visit all 5 towns! Perfect Day! Thanks Angel!

Robert_M, Apr 2023

The BEST Cinque Terre you will find for many reasons. First, our tour guide Angel was FANTASTIC! He is soooo friendly and knowledgeable. The only way to see these towns is with Angel. He guided us EFFORTLESSLY through the day. We were never rushed, we saw everything, we had free time but we really enjoyed our time with him. He is funny, knowledgable and personable. We learned so much with him. By the end of the day, we had a new friend for sure. Please request him. You will not be sorry. Second reason... this is the ONLY tour you will find on here that visits all 5 towns. I don't know why tours skip some. Each one is so unique and different and special in their own special way Angel was an amazing guide. We easily saw all the towns, had plenty of time to explore in each and never had to rush. We walked a lot, took the trains, and even ended with a great boat ride that enabled to see all of the towns from the water. Angel knew how to avoid the crowds and picked the order of visiting the towns to make it so perfect. My family consists of my wife and two children (20 & 17). We walked a lot and enjoyed the traveling from town to town. We really saw so much. Angel brought us to a perfect lunch spot in Vernazza where we ate a wonderful seaside lunch outside. I can't recommend this tour enough. It was a perfect day. Stay away from the tours that don't go to all five towns! As Angel says, it's called "CINQUE" Terre, not "Tre Terre" or "Quattro" Terre.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback! We are happy you enjoyed your time with us, accompanied by Angel. He hope to see you again and have a nice glass of wine and of course discuss why the flag of Pisa is red and white........
