Marta was incredible! Very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind. It truly is an appetizer of these great and beautiful villages.
Good Morning from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Customer, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful experience discovering Cinque Terre with Marta, she truly embodies the warmth and passion of our team. You beautifully described it: this tour is indeed a delightful “appetizer” of these stunning coastal villages! We hope to welcome you again soon to explore even more of Italy’s hidden gems with us. Warm regards, The Caf Tour & Travel Team
If you don’t take the full package with the Tour Guide, you get left at the train station. At the train station, we experienced a harassment from one of the other people that were on the tour a guy and his mother apparently. They didn’t have money to take the train into the towns and they were lounging towards us while we were buying our train tickets. They had asked us if they could travel with us because they didn’t know the area however we could hear them speaking Italian so they would’ve been more familiar than us when we returned. Their name wasn’t called out on the list at the end of the day, the guide Martha told us that they were part of the tour, but they were waiting up close to the bus . We felt like they were trying to pickpocket us or use us for free transportation, and they followed us around. We took pictures of the guy. He had a New York Yankees hat on and when we told Martha about it, she dismissed us saying they were just Tourists but clearly they were not. We felt by not taking the total package. We were left in an unsafe situation with not much information and left at the hands of people who were dangerous.

My trip today with Constantino and Fabio was pleasurable and educational. They were the quintessential professionals. Fabio’s navigational skills and maneuverability of the narrow bends of the road was magnificent. Constantino’s historical knowledge of Cinque Terre was one for the books , as well as his patience for some in the group who disregarded his orders. Complete professionalism exhibited.

Many thanks to our guide Marta and our driver Giovanni for this beautiful discovery of the five lands. As Marta says, this excursion is a perfect "appetizer" to discover the five lands and make you want to return. Marta is a guide who clearly makes the difference: smiling, available, pleasant, good advice she knew how to contribute fully to the kon unfolds this day. Despite many people on the 3 different villages visits, we were able to appreciate the beauty of the place. And congratulations to Marta for these few notions in French 😉

We're thrilled to hear you had a great day exploring Cinque Terre and enjoyed the history and sightseeing tips. Our tour leader Sandro will be happy to know he made such a positive impression. We hope to welcome you again soon for another amazing experience! Best regards
Let me preface by saying that we are well-traveled and know how to follow instructions. When we arrived at the train station and couldn't find the group, we called the number provided to us. A woman who answered yelled at my husband and wouldn't tell us how to get to her; she just hung up on him. He tried calling her like 10 times after, and she simply did not answer. Zero professionalism. 10/10 would NOT recommend!
Good morning from Caf Tour & Travel, Dear Anu, We are truly sorry to read your negative review, especially since you were unable to participate in the experience. We want to clarify that on the morning of your scheduled tour, no woman was present at our offices. Therefore, it seems unlikely that you spoke with one of our staff members. Please rest assured that no one on our team would ever behave in such an unprofessional manner toward a customer. We regret that we were unable to assist you on that day and sincerely hope to welcome you on another occasion in the future. Best regards
First of all our guide, Marta, was exceptional. She loaded us with information, answered questions, made sure no one was left behind, and was very fun, kind and professional. Marta was a big part of making this trip enjoyable. The towns that we visited were so beautiful and interesting. The lunch that was included was wonderful too! Lots of walking but also lots to see ( and eat and drink). It was a great tour and I highly recommend it to anyone. About of to Carlo our bus driver who did a great job keeping us all safe. Special thanks to Marta for her kindness.
