Gabriel was fabulous as a guide, he had lots of information to share, was supportive of different paces on the walking tours and had a great sense of humour. I was going to attempt to do this on my own but it was great to not have to think about the details of transport. The little towns are lovely to see and they are the postcards that you think of when you hear Cinque Terre. My only wondering would be the cost of taking a fast speed train over a coach as this would have made the tour a bit shorter for travel time. Our driver was also positive and drove safely and consistently. (Lab?)

This was an excellent day trip! Packed with beautiful sights, delicious food, and historical facts. The tour guides Chris and Emma were awesome, funny, patient, and so knowledgeable. They provided suggestions for things to do in each city and gave options for how much we wanted to walk. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Very enjoyable day trip. Excellent hike with beautiful views of the coast and a healthy amount of free time in each town. My tour guide Claudia was very informative and fun.

Claudia was perfect, the whole tour was well organized. highly recommending this offseason, for a more chilled experience!

A SUPER MEGA UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT!! Thank you, great program, perfect timing
