A disappointing experience

To be quite honest, we were disappointed with the lack of information given on the area. Cinque Terra is rich in history, but the guide did not have much knowledge to impart. It really became just a walk around each town which could have been done without a guide.

Excellent tour, but Europe is too hot

Guide was excellent, knows her subject, it easy to follow what was being said. We saw everything we wanted to see. Unfortunately, the weather was too hot and it’s not always easy to keep up with the pace of the tour. We concentrated mostly I’m trying to find shade.

Enjoy Cinque Terre with a local expert.

Experienced a beautiful journey and learned about Cinque Terre from a local. Veronica spoke excellent English and was very informational. Best tour I’ve taken in a long time.

Communication was lagging that resulted in us missing the tour 😟

Sadly we were not very well informed of the transportation from the port to the train. Although we arrived at the taxi area with plenty of time to catch the train we had difficulty getting a cab or an uber. Either they didn’t show up or they didn’t accept credit card payment. Attempts to reach the tour guide proved difficult as there was no phone number to call. Email was the only form of communication e we could find. By the time we got a response to the email sent, it was way too late to try to catchup with the tour. We found communication to be very limited in Italy. When we asked a question only a short answer was given, that was true through much of the trip. Must be a cultural thing. We’re heartbroken that we did not get to see the area we were to visit. ☹️

Operator response

Sadly I can see how tourism has changed from May to June. Do you complain about taxi drivers with me? 😂 In few words: you booked the tour, you wrote me at 8,10 saying you were late (our meeting was at 8,30). I answered I could wait for you with the group and I waited. You didn't come. The day after you asked for refund saying you were heartbroken but you liked better to go to Portofino. And you wanted the refund. And I waited for you with the group. The rest of the people coming from your Cruiseship were on time. You were the only one who could not find a taxi, the rest came by taxi. My phone number Is in the Page of the tour. All the people who can read and are really interested in contacting me they do. You did not. So you went to Portofino and you want the refund. I don't think it's normal to write a feedback because you don't get a refund for what you haven't done because you were somewhere else. But maybe it's a cultural thing 😅

The tour guide never...

The tour guide never showed up. After we returned to the ship we were informed the guide had some emergency. Understandable however it would have been nice to know before we took a cab into town in the rain.

Operator response

Dear Sirs, as you wrote you were aware that the guide had an emergency and she had no chance to inform you because......she was having an emergency and she was at the hospital. You never replied and you have been refunded. We hoped It was enough to refund you and to apologize. If she had the chance to inform you before taking the cab, She would have done that. For sure.

Our visit to Cinque Terre

Our family of 5 adults were on a cruise that docked in Le Spezia for one day. We made a reservation for this guided tour to Cinque Terre with Veronica. If I could give Veronica a 6 star rating I would. She was incredible in every way. Assisted with purchasing our train and ferry tickets, was extremely knowledgeable of each town we visited providing fun, interesting and historical information everywhere we went. She also gave advise on where to do a little shopping and where we should go for a family lunch during the tour. Veronica was fantastic! I could not more highly recommend her.

Enjoy the amazing views of the Cinque Terre coastline by land and sea.

We really enjoyed our tour of three villages located in the gorgeous Cinque Terre region of Italy. Our tour guide, Veronica was quite knowledgeable and also kind. We discovered and learned about the history highlights of Monterosso, Vernazza and Manarola.

Perfect introduction to Cinque Terre

Veronica did a great job introducing us to 3 of the villages. She gave us great advice and showed us how to navigate the trains. She prepared us well for the following day of exploration on our own.
