This is THE tour guide that you want in Tuscany. Friendly, professional, personal, and accommodating. The tour groups are small under 10 and all arrangements are made for you. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. Our tour guide was especially accommodating with our group, as two of the people were not able to get around quite as swiftly as the rest of the group. She always made sure that everyone was together before moving on. It was an extremely enjoyable day -- low stress as everything was taken care of for us. I whole-heartedly endorse this tour as one you should absolutely take.

A Taste Of Cinque Terre
Cherisse_J, Nov 2023
This was a beautiful full day-trip of approximately 16 people. Our tour guide was Jenny and regrettably I have forgotten our driver’s name…he was skilled, time efficient and I don’t want to go without commenting on his contribution to such a wonderful day. The pick up spot was a five minute walk from our hotel in Montecatini Terme. We had two more hotel stops to pick up the rest of our group and off we went to La Spezia where we caught the train that headed to our first of three of the five towns in Cinque Terre…Riomaggiore. We walked the trail up to the viewpoint to overlook the bay, had cappuccinos and some delicious focaccia bread. We then boarded a ferry that took us to Vernazza, which was absolutely gorgeous. We took in the views, wandered up side-streets and enjoyed some gelato. Then another fairy onto Monterosso. Our exploration time in this town was the longest. We explored the streets, had a delicious lunch and local red Monterosso wine and hiked up the trail to the Saint Francis of Assisi statue that overlooks the bay. We then boarded the train that took us back to La Spezia, where we boarded our tour bus that took us back to our hotels. This tour is a “taste” of Cinque Terre, short periods of time in three of the five towns, so if you’re looking for ample time in each town, I can only recommend that you stay in Cinque Terre or La Spezia to take in one town each day. Having said that, Jenny was beyond fantastic handling our group in crowded train stations, small bustling towns, ferry boats, etc. and she was chock-full of knowledge, information, history and made our day memorable! Grazie mille Jenny and our wonderful driver!
Stunning scenery, a great guide, and truly stress free

Cinque Terre is a lot to do in one day. This tour is designed to get the best of the experience and it really is stress free. No time wasted buying tickets, figuring out logistics, transferring trains, etc. Our guide Valerie was incredible, showing us the best of each town while leaving ample time to explore and take in the stunning scenery. Valerie is high energy, informative and offers insights into the area we wouldn't be able to get on our own.. A delightful day we'll long remember.

Great trip with the wonderful Valerie who kept us informed throughout. Amazing scenery and brilliant guide would recommend once in a lifetime trip.
An amazing experience!!
John_C, Sep 2019
My husband and I took our free day from our group tour to spend the day visiting the Cinque Terre - and it was absolutely wonderful. We were picked up in the town we were staying in and had the best experience with 6 other people from different countries. Our guide, Valerie, was informative, funny, caring and so helpful to all of us. She is an incredible woman and made the day one of the best we had in Italy!! You should know that these "towns" are built into incredibly steep hills and you should be prepared for a lot of very strenuous walking. It is not for those who have mobility issues.
Excellent,Lovely tour guide but trains were crazy and villages very crowded, otherwise would rate excellent
