This was a great cruise stop for us. Sonia was there before our meeting time with a sign with our name. She took us to the streets-of La spezia told us all about the sites and whisked us through the train process the ferry process and walking through several towns in Cinque Terra we would not have been able to do it without her. She showed us all the greatest stops picked a great spot for lunch. Introduced us to limoncheno , we Had time to do some shopping and even came back and spent some time in La spezia it’s a great option if you want to see beautiful cinque terra for the day, our tour guide was wonderful highly recommend.
Our guide was great. We had a great time exploring some great sites and had some spectacular views. The guide made the experience effortless on our part. I would highly recommend this experience to others. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water.
Cinque Terra with Emilio was great. He knew history of the cities and knew the best spots to see. Took train and ferry on this your. Was included in price . Was waiting at the La Spezia terminal, then short taxi to train. Taxi not included.
Our tour guide, Sonia, was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have asked for anyone better to take us around Cinque Terre. Because that is her hometown we felt like we got an extra special experience. She knew all of the ins and outs of the five towns and was constantly being greeted by locals as we walked around. Everything she recommended (restaurants, wine, gelato, shopping) were 10/10. This was the highlight of our European vacation!
Our guide was very knowledgeable, accommodating and very friendly . We asked for changes and a return via ferry. She made all arrangements on the spot.
we loved our guide Stefano! He is so knowledgeable about the area and we learned so much! He had great suggestions for restaurants and shopping. He guided us to all of the villages of Cinque Terrre by walking from one village to another as well as the train and the ferry. We loved experiencing all aspects and made it an adventure! Highly recommend!
Marta was amazing!!! She texted us upon ship’s arrival to describe where and how to meet her. She had all the tickets purchased in advance (ie train, boat, pathway of love, etc). She les us to the front of all lines, allowed us time for browsing and shopping…she took our pictures and texted us. She was simply amazing!
