We did a day trip to Cinque Terre with our guide Haider who was awesome. He had the perfect combination of knowledge and being real. He shared he personal experiences and the culture of people and Italy - not just standard speeches around the sites. A funny personal guy. Loved him! Also he set us up with an incredible table for lunch in Varnazza that would never have happened without being part of this tour! Best lunch of our two week trip! He knew everyone. So great. Can't recommend him or this tour enough.
Our guide’s Haider & Claudia were truly amazing!! Couldn’t have had a better experience. Just beautiful and the best food in all of Europe with fresh fresh seafood. July is very very hot. Be advised. But well worth seeing 🍋🫒🫶
Absolutely a great time!!! My family and me have so much fun! And Haider was great!!! Love it , thanks so much !
Our Cinque Terre tour was fantastic! The tour guide was amazing, super knowledgable, he shared a great amount of historical information on the areas to and from Cinque Terre. He was polite, timely, accommodating and a great driver on the twists and turns of the roads between the Cinque Terre towns. One thing I would note for those taking the tour is feel free to bring a swim suit and a towel, you will have the opportunity to cool off in the ocean! Highly recommend!
Very well taken care of and our guide and driver were very friendly.
Wonderful tour of the cinque terra, had such a well-planned out day by our guide. It lasted about 12 hours with ride from Florence but was good to rest in the van also. So much fun hiking, swimming, shopping, eating and drinking along the magnificent coastline.
