Sensational! - A perfect full day in experiencing Cinque Terre. Brigitte is a gem filled with local knowledge, history, nature and just a delight. She kept paced to our needs and adjusted accordingly. Each town unveiled their personality as we hiked in the morning exploring the first three towns, by train the next two and returned by ferry. Highly recommended to feel the appreciation of the farmers and life in Cinque Terre.

Fantastic guide! - Pall is an AMAZING guide! He takes you through all of the key places, but do so in a way that avoids the crowds as much as possible and points out things I never would have seen or known on my own. I would HIGHLY recomment this experience!

You think you know about the Cinque Terre? Not until you’ve done this trek. - The Cinque Terre region is a breathtaking place to visit even if you are simply there to enjoy the spectacular views. But viewing and experiencing the region through Pall’s eyes on this hike adds another amazing dimension to this beautiful place. Pall has lived here for decades. His knowledge of the Cinque Terre’s history, culture, viticulture and horticulture is as encyclopaedic as it is entertaining. You are literally being taken through this land by a local who knows all the secret and special highways and byways and who seems to know and is known by the locals wherever he goes. Neither of us are experienced hikers, yet we never felt rushed or exhausted by the pace set by Pall. The constant flow of information, anecdotes and fascinating stories recounted to us by Pall as we hiked caused the hours spent hiking to seem so much shorter than they were. Pall tailor’s his treks to accommodate people of all levels of fitness, so people of all abilities can have the opportunity to experience so much more of this beautiful region of Italy in the company of this amazing gent. Highly recommended.

Highly Recommend Pall - I can’t recommend our guide Pall enough. He is a local (and US ex-Pat) yet knows the Cinque Terre area and history well. He was able to take us on paths to avoid the crowds and had great recommendations for lunch and gelato too. He had great communications prior to meeting so we knew exactly where to meet and get the tickets we needed to purchase for the train.

Exceptional Local Guide - This was the highlight of our visit to CT. Pall is an exceptional guide, with extensive historical knowledge of CT and a talent for storytelling. My family and I learned a ton about the area, we enjoyed hiking trails away from the crowds, and we even met a few of Pall's fellow CT residents and friends!

An Amazing Day (even the picky teenagers thought so!) - What a great tour! Pall was a pro, so knowledgable... not only about Cinque Terra, but wine and herbs and history. Clearly he knows and loves the area. Every place he took us was amazing. It was a long day, but totally worth it... felt like we'd experienced the area on a really deep level. I especially loved coming back on the ferry after our long hike, seeing where we'd been with the wind in our hair... just a great end to a spectacular day.

Great Adventure! - The tour guide was very informative with access to areas that we otherwise would not have or even known about. I had a lot of fun with the other members of the group and I made some friends. I cannot ask for more than this.

A Wonderful trek! - We enjoyed a great trek with Pall. It was nice to see the countryside of Cinque Terra and hear about some of the area's history. It was also nice to hear how the area's modern economy has been changing. I would highly recommend this tour.

Trip of a lifetime - Visiting Cinque Terre is the trip of a lifetime. We only booked one guided excursion on our trip there, but had the good fortune to select an outstanding guide. Pall exceeded all expectations. He actually met us on our arrival, helped us navigate to our accommodations, took us to Bar e Vini a Piè de Mà and gave us an overview of the area, and what to expect on our hike the next day, and then helped us get our Cinque Terre Cards, and gave us great directions to the restaurant where we had reservations (Trattoria dal Billy). It truly made our initial experience in Riomaggiore perfect. The next day, despite less than perfect weather, we met for a full day where we learned the history of the region, had a great hike, and saw three of the other villages. We did not just check off the box of seeing the sights, but had an immersive experience, all thanks to Pall. We enjoyed our time together so much that a few days later we shared a bottle of wine and had a great conversation with him. We feel like we made a friend on this trip, and he helped make it more special and magical in so many ways with his advice, insight, tips and stories. Finding Pall, and our time with him was one of the highlights of our trip. Because of that experience, we will return, and can't wait to connect with him again! Sorry for the delayed review, but life got in the way once we returned.

Excellent - Bridget was truly an amazing tour guide! She was informative, funny, and took breaks with us because we were out of shape, unlike her. We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see and learn about Cinque Terre.
