An adventure of coaches, trains and a boat
Ann_B, Apr 2024
When I was in this area, I knew I could not miss out on this trip, from the smooth booking online to the actual day, I was totally invested. We had two guides one Spanish speaker the other English speaker and they where truly amazing, they where extremely thorough in their communication. They guided a large group very effectively and had a great sense of humour We had the lunch option which was of a very high standard - would highly recommend

Exploring the different towns what’s the highlight. I have two complaints I was charged approximately $130 for the tour without lunch from Montecatiini. Another traveler was charged $100 with lunch from Florence. Why the difference? Also, something must be done with the long walk to get back to the bus after the tour.
Cool and windy, but a fun day
Jayne_G, Apr 2024
Sabatha was great! Just the right amount of information and plenty of time to explore the 4 stops in Cinque Terra. Had a great day, thanks Sabatha.
Beautiful

Our trip to Cinque Terre was beautiful. The little villages were very picturesque. The fried fish window had amazing calamari
Could have been better

Boat ride was disappointing! Too much in one day. Lunch was very rush .. good mediocre and the service was terrible!’
Awesome excursion
Kathy_Y, Sep 2023
Picture postcard. Looked exactly like the pictures showed it. We loved the story of how the hoses became painted the different colors and how blue the water was. We shopped the quaint shops and ate gelato. One of the highlights of our trip to Italy.
Tour Guidance is a must!
Kathryn_E, Jul 2023
Despite traveling with 79 other people, we received very good service from our tour guide Sebastian.
Too many per tour guide. 😵‍💫😳☹️
rxrph, May 2023
The bus was over 15 minutes late at the pickup and was filled with folks that boarded in Florence and few seats for my friend and I. 71 people on a tour with one guide is ridiculous!! Shame on you! We learned nothing and guide was just there to tell us what time to come back to catch the next train. Very disappointed.
Response from Host, May 2023
Dear Client; We are sorry to read that you didn’t enjoy our tour. The bus leaves from Florence and it makes a stop in Montecatini to pick up who is spending their holidays there instead of having them come to Florence early in the morning. It is an additional service that we offer and we think that it can be very useful for those who decide to participate in this tour but stay outside Florence. The Cinque Terre tour is one of our bestsellers and it offers the chance to visit 4 out of 5 lands and enjoy the magnificent landscape other than the opportunity to get on a mini cruise on the crystalline sea. That’s why lots of tourists are happy to join this tour with us so it goes without saying that there are lots of participants. We offer this tour as private or semi-private at a higher price, perhaps, it would have been the best option for you. Anyways, we hope you noticed that once in La Spezia the group is splitted in two smaller so as to be followed properly. We have an experienced staff of tour leaders that explains a lot about the history and curiosity of the visited places. We are sorry to read that you felt kind of neglected, we will forward your comment to the tour leader in charge so that he can improve the service. We hope to welcome you again in the future and we wish you a lovely day. Kind Regards, CiaoFlorence Staff
Excellent guides

Excellent guides. Very organised. Kept to time. Had a lovely trip but would have been better if the boat trip was earlier in the tour

Karen_O, Mar 2023
Our guide was awesome and was great gathering a large group.. recommend this trip in shoulder seasons.. less crowds
Beautiful day.

The lunch we had was very nice. It was wonderful to see four of the five towns. All the people on the tour were fun loving people.
The Cinque Terre is amazing- not so the tour!
Susan_M, Sep 2022
I was appalled to find that there were 59 people on this tour and without any means of communication other than shouting it was very difficult to hear the guide who was obviously very knowledgeable. Despite his best efforts a lot of information was missed. Added to this the bus used to transport us to Spezia was very old and not particularly clean. Unfortunately because of the weather the boat ride was cancelled so we had to use the train, which was standing room only, to each of the villages. I realise that some things that are outwith the control of the tour company but knowing how busy this tour is in September I do feel that they could have put 2 guides on the bus to split such a large number. Either that or invest in the technology which I noticed that other tour groups had. The Cinque Terre is an amazing place to visit but I have to say I was disappointed with the tour and would not book with this company again.
Great trip, GREAT GUIDE… but description needs some added detail.
apschofield302, May 2022
First and foremost, our guide Valentina was fantastic! She was very well organized, informative, helpful, friendly, hugely enthusiastic - and Cinque Terre did not disappoint. This is a 4 star review rather than 5 because of the description on Viator. It states the duration as approx 11 hours, including travel time. We booked from a smaller city. Our booking did not indicate that we were joining an existing tour originating in another city. This makes sense & we had no problem with this - it was great to meet other travelers. However, the duration was for the originating city leaving us the impression we’d have longer visits to each of the villages. This extra time would have been welcome.
Très bon tour
Elisa_B, Aug 2023
Horaire du tour très bien rodé. Notre guide, Luigi était extrêmement dévoué, bienveillant, et sympathique. Plein de bons conseils sur les visites à faire et sur la sécurité à respecter. En prime il parlait français. Bus très confortable. Seul point négatif: les trains des Cinq Terre étaient trop bondés. Aussi au départ le bus était en retard pour nous ramasser donc nous étions inquiets mais peu après Luigi est venu nous trouver et tout est rentré dans l’ordre.
Het was een leuke trip....
LIESBETH_L, Aug 2021
Het was een leuke trip. Maar teveel in de bus en trein gezeten. Dus weinig tijd over om de dorpjes te bezichtigen
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Bedankt voor je feedback over deze rondreis. Deze tour is een tour van een hele dag en we doen ons best om onze klanten bij elke stop zoveel mogelijk tijd te geven zonder de tour in gevaar te brengen. Elk van de dorpen van Cinque Terre is ongelooflijk mooi en om je al zijn schoonheid te laten zien, moeten we een strikt schema volgen. We hopen dat u de dorpjes net zo charmant vond als wij. Het spijt ons dat u niet helemaal tevreden was over deze reis.
