RIOMAGGIORE: Riomaggiore will welcome you with brightly colored homes stacked on striking cliffs. Enjoy about an hour to explore the beachy alleyways and admire the lovely views. Time flies in this village and the time to leave again comes in a heartbeat. Your escort will lead you heading to the nearby town of Manarola.

My sister really wanted to see Cinque Terre but I was a bit apprehensive as I knew we would have to travel and take multiple trains to get to each village in turn which sounded like a lot of hassle. But I gave in and we booked the tour with Ranieri. I need not have worried. We had a fantastic day. We were collected and dropped off at our hotel. Our guides, Leticia and Martina, were so warm and friendly and took care of all our travel arrangements. All we had to do was turn up at the appointed times in each village. As part of the tour we took a walk between two of the villages which was absolutely stunning. We had a bit of travelling to do to get to the train for Cinque Terre but the mini bus was extremely comfortable and air conditioned. There were only five people on our tour which was perfect and you really felt well taken care of. I would definitely use Ranieri again and in fact we did as we also did a wine tasting event with them too!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy we turned your worries into a relaxing day where you could simply enjoy the beauty of the Cinque Terre. We hope you'll come back soon for another of our Tuscany Daily Tours!
Great trip… maybe a bit too much for the amount of time we had. Possibly only 3 towns would work better. Guide was excellent & had timing correct.
Dear Kathie, thank you for your feedback! Finding the right balance is always a challenge, as each village deserves more time, but visiting only three could also feel incomplete. Thanks to our experience, we always do our best to offer the fullest Cinque Terre experience possible. 😊
Our guide Letizia was very attentive to us, thoughtful, she told us where and when we should meet, top-notch experience.
Merci beaucoup Angelo pour votre gentil commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que Letizia ait contribué à rendre votre journée agréable et sans souci grâce à son attention et son accompagnement. Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt pour un autre de nos Tuscany Daily Tours ! 😊
Wonderful tour discovering the best of the Cinque Terre. Letizia picked us up in front of the hotel in her van, then we stopped by train in the most characteristic villages and she gave us the necessary time to visit their unique features. In Monterosso, I had the opportunity to enjoy the pesto focaccia and was able to spend some time on the beach. I appreciated the scenic viewpoints, particularly from the harbors, and from the hills you can see the best that this land has to offer. Recommended for spending a day that is different from the usual.
Grazie mille Andrea! Siamo felici che tu abbia trascorso una giornata speciale e che Letizia abbia contribuito a rendere la visita alle Cinque Terre piacevole e senza pensieri. Speriamo di rivederti presto per un altro dei nostri Tuscany Daily Tours!
I have had Cinque Terra on my wish list for a long time. We had an AC mini bus directly from our hotel. Our guide, Letizia, took care of all the admin and lead us through the July crowds which would have been stressful without her knowledge and gentle guiding.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted Letizia helped make your long-awaited visit to the Cinque Terre smooth and stress-free, even during the busy summer season. We hope you'll come back soon for another of our Tuscany Daily Tours! 😊
Pickup perfectly on time by friendly letizia! She drove us in a comfortable minivan to Sarzana where the train departs to Levanto passing all cinque terre stations! We saw 4/5 terres and all are very pretty! After a long day with lots of free time, barely long guide stories about the villages, we returned exhausted and with lots of beautiful pictures
Dear Peter, thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy you enjoyed the day with our tour leader (not guide) Letizia and came home with wonderful memories and beautiful photos. We did notice the 4-star rating, and if there was anything that could have made your experience a 5-star one, we'd truly love to hear your feedback. We hope you'll come back soon for another of our Tuscany Daily Tours! 😊
Our guide Letizia was incredible. She knew all of the tricks to make the best of our trip. She was also very helpful with other details of our trip.
Thank you, Bryan! We're so glad Letizia helped make the most of your Cinque Terre trip and provided useful support throughout your stay. We hope you'll come back soon for another of our Tuscany Daily Tours! 😊
From being picked up at our hotel to being dropped off back at our hotel was perfect. Guide was pleasant, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a perfect way to see the Cinque Terra.
Dear Nancy, Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed your Cinque Terre experience and that our guide helped make the day special. Hope you'll come back soon for another of our Tuscany Daily Tours!
A relaxed day trip to a busy area made possible by our knowledgeable, pleasant, professional guide Letizia who gave lots of 'inside tips' like were to sit on the train, clean toilets, lunch suggestions and area information. Letizia made the trip extremely enjoyable in a hot busy day. Thank you Letizia
Thank you for your lovely review! We know exactly what you mean about Letizia's "inside tips" 😊 — they're one of the things guests love most about touring with her! We're so happy she helped make a hot and busy day at the Cinque Terre feel easy, relaxed, and enjoyable. We'll make sure to pass your kind words on to her. Thanks for joining us! 🚆🌊
We had a thoroughly enjoyable tour/ trip/visit to lovely Cinque Terre. This is mainly because Leticia, our knowledgeable and generally excellent Guide negotiated every detail for us from start to finish. Highly recommend this stress-free small group tour.
Dear Celine, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable day in the Cinque Terre. It sounds like you got to experience one of Letizia's greatest strengths: making everything feel easy and stress-free while taking care of every detail along the way 😊 We'll be sure to share your kind words with her. Thank you for recommending our tour, and we hope to see you again on another Tuscany Daily Tours! 🌊
