Absolutely wonderful. Our tour guide, Guillermo, made sure the group are together and got off at the right train stops, despite the crowd. Very informative and of course the place is just beautiful. No words

Cinque Terre Full Day Trip from Milan with Riogmaggiore, Manarola, and Monterosso: Great tour from start to finish. It was a beautiful day in Cinque Terre, visiting three beautiful villages (Riomaggiore, Manarola Monterosso). Our tour guide Tatiana was a very nice person, she was paying personalized attention to the needs of everyone. At times, I was walking slower than others, Tatiana waited for me and didn’t rush me I really appreciate it. We recommend the tour as visiting Cinque Terre was an incredible experience with stunning views. It’s a wonderful place to visit, with such picturesque scenery.

This tour for us was the best tour ever. We were notified a day in advance and offered to tour the Gulf of Poets instead. What a blessing! We visited Porto Venere and swam in a protected cove. The boat was clean, spacious, and safe. Our tour guide were kind, informative, and even serenaded us! We received drinks, snacks, and pesto focaccia as advertised.

Taking a full-day trip from Milan to Cinque Terre was nothing short of magical. As the train whisked me through the Italian countryside, I could already feel the excitement building. Stepping into each colorful village, with its narrow streets and vibrant buildings, was like walking through a postcard. I felt so grateful for the chance to explore such a stunning part of the Italian Riviera, and the free time to wander and discover hidden gems in each village made it all the more special. It was the perfect way to experience Cinque Terre’s beauty, even on a tight schedule.
