Escursione di un giorno alle Cinque Terre da Firenze

Beautiful unbelievably beautiful. The timing was precise and the guides communicate very well on what to do and see. The highlight was the ferry boat ride. Lunch was ok, as we had street food but. O place to sit.

Great way to see 4/5 villages in Cinque Terre in one day. We did the lunch excluded version. We went to Montorosso first and the only thing I would change is to allow more time in this village because of the beach. You can pay for chairs and towels at the beach (I think it was about 50 euros for 2 chairs and an umbrella and 4 euros per towel). We only had about 30 minutes to spend at the beach before we moved on to the next village. We could easily have spent another hour at the beach and an hour exploring the village. Our guide was knowledgeable and communicated well with the group on meeting times and places.

Despite some bad weather we were happy to get to visit the towns of Cinque Terre. The organization of this trip left some things to be desired. There were hundreds of people at the meeting point early in the morning with no ability to determine where to check in. It was also not the same local company disclosed in our confirmation which made it confusing. We were equally surprised to learn that there were over 60 people in our group when the Viator information said no more than 27. Also, there were English, Spanish, French and Portuguese people in our group and only 1 guide so made it more complicated. John, our guide was great and spoke all 4 languages but we really were not provided with any background or information on the area or the history and would have needed to be done in 4 languages. It was a very expensive day for basically just transportation to and from Florence.

Beautiful, breathtaking views. Loved the boat ride between towns. Very fresh and yummy seafood. Our driver, Mario, was skilled and kept us safe on the narrow roads. Our tour leader, Gabriele, kept us organized, on time and provided valuable info on each town. He sent emails and text messages with reminders of where and when to meet.

Our tour guide was fabulous! However the time we went all the islands were extremely overcrowded and you really didn’t feel like you had enough time in each town to do anything except get back to the meeting spot. The bus ride took about two hours to get to the national park and the train rides between each town was jam packed. Over all great run tour, we must have just hit it at the wrong time.

The full-day trip from Florence to Cinque Terre was amazing. Travel was easy with a comfy coach and a helpful guide. We explored Monterosso first, had a nice lunch, and enjoyed a scenic ferry ride with great views. Next was Vernazza, full of charm and perfect for wandering. We also visited Riomaggiore and Manarola, each with its own unique vibe. The train ride between villages was smooth and fun. Everything was well organized, and we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. I highly recommend this trip if you're in Florence!

Federica was very nice and made sure nobody was left behind over the several train rides we had to take. Very nice tour.
