Martha and Elizabeth did...

Martha and Elizabeth did a great job to inform and organise the group to follow and meet at different locations and timing with good whatsapp instructions and pictures. tbh i would have wanted more time at the cinque terre (or could have considered to go by myself) and the views were too hyped up by online pictures so i probably had higher expectations but it was an overall very organised and well planned arrangement. lunch option was also preplanned with some options which was relatively decent

Vernazza - postcard brought to life

We had such a wonderful experience! It was worth every single cent, but the real highlight was our amazing guide, Marta. She truly went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable day for our whole group. Highly recommended!

Must do!!!

Overall the tour was great and Sara was a great guide. and I recommend that you sold at the top of the bus . I felt like it each stopped you had enough time to do everything you really wanted to. And I feel like as we were going to stop and stop it felt like there was more communication. but It was very unorganized in the morning and hard to find the tour guide because a lot of other tours are meeting in the same place. I still would see this is a MUST do if in Florence.

Scenic but too much time on bus

The tour guide was thorough and informative, and the places we visited (Cinque Terre and Pisa) were beautiful and scenic, but there was too much travel time between each place. We realized the duration of the tour was going to be long, but did not anticipate the majority would be spent on the bus. We felt a little rushed in each place.

Operator response

Dear Emilio_C, We sincerely apologize that you felt rushed and spent more time on the bus than expected. Cinque Terre and Pisa make for a very long journey in a single day, which unfortunately means a significant amount of travel time. We truly appreciate your feedback and are sorry the pace of the tour affected your experience.

Don't miss this beautiful beach area.

Beautiful! Don't miss seeing this. It was much warmer than we expected. A good way to get a taste of the area. Not really enough free time to change into and out of swimwear for a swim in the ocean. Sandros our tour guide is amazing & professional. He's very experienced at managing his tour. He always made us feel extra special and cared for. No man left behind.

Great day with Sandro

Sandro made our Cinque Terre & Pisa day trip absolutely unforgettable! He kept logistics seamless and everyone in the loop via our WhatsApp group, answering every question with a hugeee smile always. But the real star move? Stepping in to help the restaurant staff at lunch and treating us to extra wine! Now that’s top-tier Italian hospitality. 10/10 would tour with Sandro again!
