Cinqueterra family visit for a day - Amazing beautiful towns with magnificent views of the Mediterranean.
John our guide was terrific, kept us on schedule but allowed us to enjoy each town, providing us with highlights on each town of what to see and what not to miss. He also gave us highlights about the whole region. Great job, highly recommend him and the tour!

A great experience - This is a great way to easily four of the five towns without having to plan or navigate travel on your own. John did a great job ensuring all 50 people in the group made it to each destination without a hitch!

Scent of the ocean - Alex was amazing! He’s friendly, funny, easy to follow. Traveling can be stressful but he made it so easy. The cities are BEAUTIFUL. It was raining when my family and I went but the views were still incredible. You get the feeling like you stepped back in time but with A/C included. 10/10 recommend. Ask for Alex.

PERFECT - VERY GOOD SERVICE - The service was perfect.
The punctual schedule EN departure; the guides (Alex and Anastasia) a total dedication; worried that everything would go well; the clear and precise decisions. The weather was NO help to leave EN boat and we were quickly informed DE that we would go EN train; the spectacular trains without any inconvenience.
The villages visited are 4 and DA NO time for the fifth.
NO change in the trip NO see that fifth village; but NO wonder if when you do the tour you do 4 and not 5 villages.
The food ES right; it can get better; if you want a lot of food and be free; NO food and walk alone to the hundreds DE bars and restaurants EN la pueblo.
Highly recommended the excursion.
Very good guides.
Ciao ES a guarantee DE good service. I hired them in Rome and it was a success; I repeated in Florence it was excellent ; Thank you !!!!!

incredible views & fantastic guides - Costantino, Daniele & Mario are a fantastic team and you are in excellent hands with them. We had a fairly large group and they were able to give us clear instructions on meeting points and times, ensuring we were always on time. Costantino led the English speaking group and he was great! He gave us excellent advice to ensure we saw all the town had to offer in the approx. hour of free time that we had. We opted for no lunch and grabbed a quick bite at a beach bar. The day promises amazing views, a relaxing swim (if you choose) but overall a great time if you are led by Costantino or Daniele, with the driver, Mario!
