Alex and John were super, we really enjoyed the tour! It was very well organized with a comfy bus! Take something with to swim, the water is lovkeye and you have enough time.
My husband and I booked this tour through Airbnb, and we were absolutely delighted with the entire experience. In just one day, we were able to see everything we had hoped to visit, thanks to the professionalism and expertise of the guides. The organization was outstanding from start to finish. Every detail was explained clearly and professionally, making it easy to understand each stop, meeting point, and part of the itinerary. Everything was exceptionally well organized and stress-free. It was truly a wonderful and memorable experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend Ciao Florence Tours & Travels to anyone looking for a perfectly organized and enjoyable tour. Thank you for helping make our trip so special! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent tour. Tour team of Cecelia, Leon and Boris were extremely helpful. They guided us at every point, telling us the history and relevance of each place. Vernaza and Monterosso are great locations for food, swimming or just simple Mediterranean sea views. Pisa is Pisa.. one of a kind.
It was a nice trip, well organized. The tour guide's team was excellent, friendly and very helpful. Thank you for this amazing trip.
It was a great experience over all. I just wish we got a little bit more time in Monterosso. Because that’s the lunch hour and so you are forced to make a decision between eat at a restaurant or walk the town or go into the beach.
Very funny. Leader nice, professional We like this one day trip !! Enjoyable 😊👍🏻
Cecilia & Leon were awesome, my family really enjoyed this tour and we had an amazing time. I would highly recommend this tour especially to first time travelers to Europe. Thank you for an experience that will last a lifetime!
Great tour with Cecelia!! And our driver Boris!
Would definitely do this again our guide was lovely and kept track of everything through all the train and bus rides.
The group was enormous - a double decker bus full with two guides. We were in a state of confusion all day - the guides did a terrible job of explaining the most basic things like what times we needed to be back at the bus etc. Both guides (but one in particular) seemed very annoyed if you asked them a question. She truly seemed to despise tourists. I still give the tour 2 stars because both Pisa and Cinque Terra are beautiful and worth visiting
