Cinque Terre & Pisa Small Group Tour - Our small group tour of Cinque Terre and Pisa with Emile was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment the tour began, Emile set the tone with warmth, enthusiasm, and an impressive depth of knowledge. His passion for the region was infectious, and he effortlessly brought each stop to life with fascinating stories, history, and local insights that made the experience truly unforgettable. Cinque Terre was absolutely breathtaking — the vibrant villages, dramatic coastline, and scenic trails were even more magical thanks to Emile’s guidance and attention to detail. He struck the perfect balance between structured touring and free time, giving us the chance to explore while still feeling supported every step of the way. Pisa was a wonderful bonus — Emile made sure we saw the iconic sights but also took us beyond the obvious, sharing hidden gems and local favorites. Throughout the day, he was incredibly attentive to the group, ensuring everyone was comfortable, engaged, and having a great time. This tour felt personal, thoughtfully curated, and far more enriching than a typical tourist experience. Emile is a true gem of a guide, and this day was easily one of the highlights of our entire trip. Highly, highly recommend!

A perfect guide makes all the difference! - We had Emilian as our guide! He was knowledgeable and skillful. When there was a busy area he guided us through a side street. I had fallen a week earlier and hurt my knee and he graciously offered me his arm to navigate through the steps and inclines. He also guided us to the part of the. boat to get the best seats and the part of the train to get seats. He shared his vast knowledge of these beautiful villages and Pisa. along with so many other important facts of our tour! We met a couple we met on this fabulous day trip who were fantastic and we not only had lunch them in Cinque Terre, but met them for dinner in Florence the next day. We became fast friends. Don’t miss the opportunity to take this amazing day trip. One of our favorite memories of our trip to Italy!

Cinque Terre is a must see! - Wonderful day in Cinque Terre. Each town has its own special charm. Enjoyed the variety of travel from one to another by van, train and ferry. Emilio was an excellent guide. The weather was perfect which was a bonus!

Cinque Terre Day Trip - We had absolutely fantastic time. Our guide Emilian was very knowledgeable, informative and patient. The tour is very well balanced between time in group and personal time when we were able to explore places on our own. The only bad thing that this company doesn't do more tours to different places around Florence.

Fun Day! - Very nice guide, Emilio. We were escourted to 3 different villages. Once at each village, we were given an orientation and advice on eatery's and then allowed to explore each city independently which was great. Lots of walking up steep inclines. We also were visited Pisa as well. I would recommend this trip.

Daytrip from Florence to Cinque Terre - My friend and I had a great day trip to Cinque Terre with Emilio. The van was comfortable. The drive was long from Florence, but thankfully Emilio gave a bit of the history of the landscape along the way. Suggestions for travelers: eat at the second village as the options are limited at the third, bring euros if you wish to go into the castle, and bring earbuds for the journey back. Gracie Mille Emilio!

Wonderful Tour! - Our day trip to Cinque Terre & Pisa were wonderful! We started early and got to experience both the boat and train rides between the charming villages, each offering its own stunning views. There was plenty of time to take photos and soak in the beauty of the colorful coastline. Emilio, our tour guide, was great —knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We returned to Florence right on schedule, making it a perfectly organized & memorable day.

Fabulous Cinque Terre day trip - Emilio was fantastic - knowledgeable, respectful, funny, and adaptable - all and all the consummate guide. The logistics and itinerary were planned well and thought out. We got an early start on our way to Cinque Terre. Had time for a coffee break en route & started in one of the middle villages, which we were able to enjoy without crowds of people. Vernazza was beautiful but definitely crowded by the time our delayed train arrived. We still enjoyed a hike up to the castle ruins and the view from the overlook. The boat back to Riomaggiore afforded a different perspective. We had a fabulous lunch at Trattoria La Grotta (100% recommend the eggplant parm & I’m not a fan of eggplant normally). The small group was the perfect size and by the end of the day we made some new friends. Pisa was ok, but less enjoyable. Beautiful structures, but too many people and quite a tourist trap before the entrance. There’s no need to ever visit again. We got a small taste of Cinque Terre and would definitely go back for a longer visit to enjoy the villages after the day trip tourists leave. We heard about a tour offered for Parmesan making followed by a visit to Modena to see how Balsamic vinegar is made. Would definitely sign up for that with Emilio. This was one of our favorite days of our visit to Florence/Tuscany. Loved it!
