Siamo felici che la giornata alle Cinque Terre con gli amici sia stata piacevole, con organizzazione precisa e scenari bellissimi—e che i suoi ospiti stranieri ne siano rimasti entusiasti. Non vediamo l'ora di riavervi per un altro dei nostri Tuscany Daily Tours!
What a wonderful way to experience Cinque Terre! Letizia met us in RioMaggiore and we were able to join the tour. She provided clear instructions on where to meet, provided the highlights in each town and let us explore. Plus, she ensured we all made it on time to catch the train to the next town. She was wonderful and knowledgeable. Thank you!
Dear Sandra, we were so happy to have you with us. Letizia is amazing and she will always ensure that our visitors have the best experience. Thank you for pointing out her fantastic work! We hope to have you back for another of our TuscanyDailyTours!
There is a lot of walking and it’s probably hot!!! Trains are air conditioned. Lots of other groups queuing at stations. Only a lengthy stop at one town. The others are 30-45 mins only time to walk Main Street and but an ice or a drink. Lunch stop longer. We missed a boat trip as sea was rough. But that would be better - to see the coastline from the sea. You need Euros cash for some restaurants - check before you order!!!
Dear Jill, thank you for your useful words! We’d love to welcome you back to the Cinque Terre—when the weather cooperates, join us for a beautiful boat tour to make your next visit even more special!
Our guide was kind and very knowledgeable. We truly appreciated her attention to detail and compassion about the Cinque Terre. Definitely would recommend this tour to everyone. The small group size was perfection for navigating each town effortlessly. The magical scenery and atmosphere of each town was charming and inviting.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the Cinque Terre with Letizia—her knowledge, care, and passion make the experience truly special. We’re also glad you appreciated the small group atmosphere and the beauty of each town. We hope to welcome you back soon for another of our Tuscany Daily Tours!
