Stress free way to see Cinque Terre
Beautiful views. Be aware that walking is uneven and there are some steep inclines if you have any concerns with mobility. We loved that we got to experience the train and a boat as we went to the various destination’s. Our tour guide Veronica was knowledgeable about the area and we had just the right amount of time at each location to get a feel of the area and a little walking around on our own. Great way to see places if you don’t have more than a couple days in the area.

Cinque Terre
Visiting Cinque Terre was truly a wonderful experience.
Besides all the lovely towns we got to visit we had the nicest and caring tour guide with Veronica. It became a private tour for the 4 of us since the other people canceled. She gave us options on what our preferences were on train versus ferry or both?
My husband had some issues in walking a lot and it was hot. She always made sure we could find comfortable places in the shade to rest up. Veronica was also very knowledgeable on all the places we visited.
I highly recommend Viator
as a tour company and especially recommend Veronica to add to thexperience.

Highly Recommended. Veronica very knowledgeable with Cinque Terre
Very satisfied with our Cinque Terre tour experience. Our guide, Veronica, knows Cinque Terre very well. She is fully capable to agreeably tailor-make (adjust) the tour if weather or other circumstances arise. She assisted with train ticket purchase. Veronica gave narrative of each town and allowed time for self strolling / shopping. The tour pace was sufficient. She led the tour to areas (views) we would not have found touring on our own. Veronica gave very good restaurant and shop recommendations.

Attention: the price of...
Attention: the price of $80 per person only includes the guide. All public transportation is extra (train and boat). Nice guide... but we can do without!
Operator response
Thank you Marine, everything is clearly specified in the tour description, if one reads it. Then I’d like to point out that booking a guide in a foreign country means getting to know the culture of the place you’re visiting, and having them suggest untouched corners where you can truly savor the atmosphere made of history, tradition, and the hard work of the Ligurian people. The guide immerses you in the local culture and doesn’t just share anecdotes, but makes each person live a unique experience — for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. You were not even with group when I was explaining.....
Of course, if you visit a foreign country to skimp on culture and only come to buy bags, then you don’t need a guide. Don’t book it!

Best way to get to know the 5 towns
We spent our first day in Cinque Terre taking the Classic CinqueTerre Tour with Veronica. It was a great way to not only get to know the 5 towns, but also become comfortable with the trains, ferry system and public bathrooms. As we walked around, we learned about each town, and were given suggestions as to where to eat what during our lunch break. Veronica was a great tour guide. We felt very comfortable afterwards to take on the long hiking trails the following days on our own.
Operator response
Thanks I am glad you all did the trails, thanks for your kind feedback 🙂❤️

This was a really great...
This was a really great day! We really enjoyed the history and beauty of the tour. Veronica did a really nice job explaining everything.
Only negative for some people was that the ferry ride was quite difficult for many due to the rough sea. For those of us that were ok with the waves, we were not able to see the beauty of the view from the ferry since the boat was rocking so much.

Highly recommend
What an amazing day. Veronica was great, informative, and so helpful. This was so much better than trying to see everything on our own. She helped us navigate the trains and the ferry. We were a small group of 12 to 15 people. She kept us all together and directed us where we needed to be. Myself and one of the members of our party have food allergies. She pointed us in the right direction for a nice lunch where they accommodated our issues.
