Best day trip offered in Italy - If you are trying to see the Cinque Terre and don’t want to stay there this is the tour for you. The day starts early, the bus ride is very comfortable and the directions are very clear. We were paired with Tony and Claudia, and they were fantastic. The food option they offer with a local restaurant is a great deal and was very good. I wish to say thanks to Tony and Claudia for their hospitality. They really did the most to allow us to see as much as possible in one day. The hike offered is really fun but if it’s hot out and you can’t handle heat, really consider taking the other option and simply relaxing. I found the trail amazing but my partner did not. This tour was definitely worth what we paid and more.

Great views and great guides - Cinque Terre is beautiful! Would recommend if on your list to do an overall of all five villages. You get about an hour or so in each village. Gena and gheri(sorry if misspelled) were amazing! They kept us all together and were super helpful and very knowledgeable. Had great recommendations for gelato and fish! There is quite a bit of stairs, hills and walking (not including the optional hike) so be mindful.

Beautiful - We enjoyed our tour of Cinque Terre. The team that included Valentino were wonderful. It was heavily crowded the day we went and the group was large. They kept everyone together and safe.

Amazing Cinque Terre Day Teop - Manuel, Gabriel, and Giancarlo were excellent tour guides on an amazing trip. They kept us all together and we were able to experience all 5 cities in 1 day with time in each. The hike is demanding but the views are amazing and not to be missed.

Best Tour EVER!! - This was the highlight of our Italy trip! The bus taking us to Cinque Terre was incredibly clean and well taken care of. Our tour guide Victoria was the sweetest and very knowledgeable. My daughter has a wheat allergy so we were not able to eat with the group and order ahead; however the restaurant allowed us to still eat there and order off the menu. Very sweet people at the restaurant. The hike is a bit challenging but well worth it. Wear good shoes and enjoy a phenomenal lemon slushy at the mid way point. If you have the opportunity to take this tour PLEASE don't miss it!!

Baby Moon Trip, and we still did the tour! - Booked this tour for the second time! It was worth it, Ado and Ghera, gave my wife and I a wonderful experience. Thank you! The transit is easy, the tour guide knowledge is wonderful, and the area is beautiful. The one thing we really loved about the tour is that we had so many options on what to do. My wife was six months pregnant at the time so some of the hiking was too much for us. We had plenty of breaks for her to catch her breath and still enjoyed the food and scenery. Thank you again to the both of you. We plan on doing this again some day, maybe with the baby girl on the way! Wear sneakers yall.

Too Fast Paced to Enjoy - Did not enjoy this tour as much as we could have had it not been so packed with trying to visit all 5 villages in one day. Way too much and did not get to enjoy much time in any. Very strenuous day with lots of up and down stairs and hills. Would recommend to have a tour with visiting only 3 villages and allowing for more time in those 3. Coniglia was not worth the visit at all. I would not recommend this trip, but rather recommend just going on your own and spending time in 2-3 villages instead.

Transfer service - The cities were lovely and the views on the hike were lovely. However, the “tour” part was basically a tour guide that escorted us from one train station to another. Very little actual information about the cities was presented. The description of the tour on Viator stated the tour was a group of 25 people. What the description didn’t specify was that they loaded a double decker bus full of people and then split the group into three smaller groups of 20-25. Without ANY whispers/vox devices. Walking through crowded train stations trying to hear what the guide was saying, when we had to meet and where was challenging with a group that large. Also, lunch was not included in the price of the tour, and TBH, for the length of the tour (13 hours) they should have included lunch. Walk about tours disappointed. We will look carefully to ensure we don’t book any tours with them again.
