We had a wonderful day trip to the Cinque Terre on 9th sept with Alberto as our guide. We booked very last minute as we were let down by another company due to reduced numbers ( thank you Covid) but we were very glad that we did. Not only was this tour less expensive, we had Alberto as an expert guide throughout. I’m sure the capacity is normally much more but we were lucky enough to only have 10 on our tour and of that 6 did the hike.
I can’t express enough the importance of good shoes ( trainers or better) for the hike, even on our tour some people didn’t wear the right shoes and it made such a difference.
The weather was so hot (30 deg) and made the hike quite challenging but the lemon slushy half way and the gelato in Vernazza made it worth it.
Also definitely bring your swim suit and towel for a quick dip.
We really can’t recommend this trip enough to anyone wanting to visit the Cinque Terre.
Thank you Alberto!

We had a wonderful day in Tuscany! Start from the great bus with aircon. The very experience bus driver. The very amazing tour guide, she help us with everthing and explained everything so clear. She was very knowledgeable about the area.
We started of at the train station in Florence of to the Siena where local tour guide (she was so great as well) toke us to main attractions. We then visited the wine farm and had amazing food and wine. We then went to San Gimignano for best gelato in world. Finally we reached pisa, were we climb the 7 floor stairs (maybe consider to admire the tower for outside) but view was great.
This was the best day tour ever. Love every second!! Will highly recommend this tour even for 2 day stay in Florence. (visit day: 8 September)

This was absolutely one of the best decisions we made about our trip! Over the course of quite a long day starting at 7.30am, we visited all 5 villages. The tour operator had arranged all transport (minibus to and from La Spezia, train tickets around the villages, a boat ride too). Our guide, Alberto, was excellent - he was very knowledgable and entertaining. There were 10 of us in total and 6 of is decided to brave the hike. I fell behind a number of times (I blame the many steps and my short legs!) but Alberto made sure he stopped at a good point to wait for us to catch up, and kept us going. Having done this tour a number of times, Alberto knew exactly where all the best views would be. My only comment (and we had expected this) is that whilst we had some time to explore each village, this ended up being about 30-45 minutes in most cases (certainly if you choose to do the hike), so you won’t have time for a full Instagram photoshoot :D they villages werent overly busy, I can imagine that will only improve too.
Hello,
We are extremely happy to see that our tour to the Cinque Terre with Alberto was the best decision of your trip. Thank you so much for giving us 5 stars!
