I recommend this tour! Started at 7.45am and we were back in Pisa at around 5.30pm. Alessandro the driver was always punctual. We were only a group of 9 ppl so we were comfortable in the mini van. Luigi the tour leader explained in detail about the Cinque Terre and also suggested where to eat the best focaccia, gelato or have lunch :) The weather did not permit to use the ferry boat to visit the villages. Instead we went by train which was also comfortable and interesting.

Great time, great guide! Ned was super friendly, knowledgeable and easy to get along with. He provided us with a lot interesting historical background on all of the places we visited, while also providing straightforward and clear guidance on where to meet, ensuring everyone in the group was always accounted for as we moved from location to location. We were both really happy with with him as our guide and enjoyed the conversations!

Thank you for a great trip!! We got to see so much in the time we had. Cinque Terre was as beautiful as I imagined and we got to go by ferry and the train so we got the best of both worlds! Luigi was an amazing guide, great knowledge and so helpful and fun. Big thumbs up to Luigi and our driver!! Super Beautiful and Amazing
