We booked this tour in order to experience Cinque Terre from the water and enjoyed all aspects of the tour. Our guide showed us special places to see as well as to taste the local cuisine in each of the 3 towns that we visited. Despite the crowds, she made reservations at a restaurant in Monterosso for us and as an added bonus, showed us part of the beautiful city of La Spieza as we walked from the cruise port to the train station.

We had an amazing day!! Francesco was so amazing ! He was very kind and funny and kept the energy up all day. Cinque terre is absolutely beautiful and we were very glad to have a guide to assist us all day. Keep in mind there is a lot of uphill walking. Overall we highly recommend this tour !

Matteo was an excellent guide. He gave us a really good outline of his plan for the tour and was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and responsive to all and any questions we had. Our tour of the Cinque Terre region was wonderful - a mixture of train and ferry journeys and walking.

Our guide Marta was wonderful to spend the day with in Cinque Terre. She was flexible and open to ensure we had the best experience. It is nice to have someone handle the train and ferry tickets and times so you can just enjoy the tour. We also really enjoyed visiting with her and getting to know her.

Beautiful area and knowledgeable guide made this tour fantastic. Emillo our guide was very accommodating and interesting.

This was an amazing tour. We traveled to the three main villages in Cinque Terre. To get to them from the cruise port of La Spezia we traveled by train and boat which were both arranged by our wonderful tour guide. She made sure that we saw all of the highlights and still had time for all of the pictures and videos that we wanted to take. Thank you for a great tour.

A very good tour with an exceptional tour guide. We traveled by train and boat to get to three of the most beautiful villages in Cinque Terre. Our guide was able to show us all of the highlights of these villages without rushing us. This was just the type of tour that we were hoping for and we got it!

Our guide Matteo was excellent. He guided us through four of the five lands. We travelled by Train (November). His knowledge of the area was incredible. It was a lot of walking up and down hills and steps so where good walking shoes and be prepared for the steepness of the terrain. Beautiful views and Matteo made a reservation at a wonderful lunch spot.

For starters we arrived in a port that was miles away from our tour guide despite notifying the tour operator of our ship and dock. This resulted in us having to buy a bus ticket to the meeting point and riding an hour to get there. Texting and calling the whole way to be sure we weren’t abandoned. Not any way you want to start a tour and the operator of course blamed the booking agent. The tour itself was uneventful. The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable though soft spoken that made it difficult to hear all she was saying. The Cinque Terre is beautiful but the three towns we visited in the shortened time we had were pretty much the same. Then there was the worry about how we were getting back to our cruise which ultimately was only resolved by an expensive cab ride from the ending point of the tour to our port.

Our guide Marco was knowledgeable, fun and very accommodating to our needs. It was an amazing tour. Thank you Marco!

Unfortunately, I have had better experiences when booking a tour through Viator. My friend and I spent a couple of days in Cinque Terre on our trip to Tuscany, and I booked this private tour for one of our days. The description of the tour said that the itinerary was flexible, but the only flexibility we seemed to have related to when and where we would have lunch. I would have appreciated a little more flexibility in the villages that we visited and how we traveled to them, as the stairs at the train stations proved challenging, and the description said we would travel to them by train and ferry. We took the ferry only once. We had a nice lunch at a restaurant in Vernazza, and our tour guide knew the owner. The view was great, and the food was good. But, our tour guide struck up a conversation with people at the table next to us, and spent a fair amount of time talking with them, ignoring us. That should not happen. All in all, I am glad that we did the tour, as it gave us a nice overview of three of the villages. However, I suggest that the tour guide assigned to the tour talk with the group to give them some options on itinerary and how to travel between the villages. In retrospect, I would have taken the train to Monteroso first, then the ferry to Vernaza and either Manarola or Riomaggiore, and then the train back to La Spezia where we started our tour. It would have been nice to have some options.

Our guide Sonia was wonderful! She was very accommodating to our requests and so friendly and knowledgeable. We travel frequently and she was the best guide we have had in a while ! She is special ! The cinque Terre area is spectacular!! My favorite was Manorola, but all were gorgeous! Five star tour and 10 star guide !

Loved, loved, loved this private tour. My partner and I spent the day with Luca and had the best time. We ended up doing all 5 villages. We weren’t able to use the ferries because of the tides but Luca made sure we were able to have amazing view points. He took pictures for us and gave us amazing recommendations for dinner and wine tasting in Monterosso which was FANTASTIC. Would never do Cinque Terre without this tour! We created a bound with Luca where it felt like we were travelling with a very good friend!

Loreda was a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable and generous in sharing that information with the tour participants. She very efficiently guided us from one town to the next via train or boat. Our group of 6 absolutely loved this tour.

This tour was the highlight of our trip! You won’t regret exploring the Ligurian coastline by strolling the picturesque paths high above the sea, stopping for a delicious Italian lunch with a view on your own, gazing from the perspective of the ferry boat back at the breathtaking villages which make up the Cinque Terre, shopping in the quaint boutiques, and taking beautiful photographs to treasure forever.
