Sonia was AMAZING! She really listened to our wants and catered to our needs. My husband and I were traveling with our 90 year old grandma, and Sonia was absolutely fantastic. She was knowledgeable and felt like we were spending the day with our friend
We did it all with Mateo covering all of Cinque Terre! A fast paced tour using trains, boats and our feet!! He is an outstanding guide and made Cinque Terre an unforgettable experience!
Our guide Loradana did everything in her power to get us through the day with the horrific weather. Unfortunately we didn’t see much because if an orange alert but I must say she was amazing. We will definitely be back and will book this excursion. Hopefully we can have her again!
Superb tour of this lovely slice of Italy visiting Manarola, Riomaggiore, and Monterosso by boat having been collected at La Spezia. Very well organized and orchestrated tour using public transportation to inclue the train from La Spezia to then be shown and described the unique characteristics of each town. Unhurried and able to enjoy at a well timed pace. Inclement weather near the end and tour guide remained engaged, helpful and responsive to ensure we made it back to La Spezia! A must do and great experience.
Great guide and beautiful tour. Very beautiful places, with good restaurants and beautiful views. I recommend for everyone
Awesome tour experience. Liz was a great tour guide. We likely would not have been able to visit and see all that we did on our own without Liz.
Thanks so much, Sonia, for a really fantastic day. We loved visiting cinque Terre with you and especially loved Manorola. We will be back someday!
Emilio was EXCELLENT!!!! He is very knowledgeable & informative! He accommodated our schedule the entire day. He was very flexible & such a fantastic guy & guide!!!!!!!!! Total 10 experience.
