Review of the 13-hour Cinque Terre trip from Florence, with coastal villages, optional hiking, boat views, Pisa, and practical booking advice.

“We went on the Transport Only option. The guides Alessandro and Ado were incredibly helpful, taking time to talk to us about what we wanted to do and giving us advice on which sections were best to walk and where to get the train. They helped us to buy our train and park tickets, and gave us all the information we needed. We were incredibly grateful for all of their help, which set us up to have a fantastic day. Emiliano was a great coach driver, making the journey to and from relaxing and enjoyable.”

Review of Walkabout Tours’ Cinque Terre day trip from Florence, with all five villages, trains, coastal boat ride, and optional hike.

“The day trip to Cinque Terre was excellent. Our 3 guides Christian, Manuel and Victoria were great - knowledgeable, friendly and organised. The day is long and busy but it gives a great snapshot of each of the 3 villages. There is a LOT of walking and a LOT of steps. Only one in our group did the actual hike however the other 3 of us went for an explore that took us up hundreds of high rocky stairs also so be prepared for a physical day regardless. Thankfully the weather was good and we were able to take the boat trip as well. Magical destination and we thoroughly enjoyed…”

“Excellent! Full of information and good humor. Nothing left to question, everything was laid out and explained ahead of time. Given advice and recommendations on where we may want to visit, and allowed to "tag along", but not led around on a leash. Tour Leader Nathan Smith was phenomenal. I can't say enough about his friendly demeanor, knowledge of the locations, and willingness to offer direction and background history/stories as applicable. He assisted with ideal picture taking locations, offered incredible advice on how to make the most of my own iPhone settings to maximize the photo results, and even made himself available to take pictures of my spouse and I…”

“What an incredible trip! Jonathan was kind, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable. I loved hearing all the rich history of Italy—these tours have truly been amazing for that. The guides share insights only locals would know, and Jonathan was a true wealth of knowledge. He was so accommodating to everyone in the group. My daughter and I wanted to swim, and thanks to his suggestions, we got to enjoy the water in both Monterosso and Vernazza. Highly recommend this experience!”

We called and were told there was no pick up and no other tours available. We asked for a refund since they did not pick up as promised and it was rejected. Very disappointed with Viator.”

“Had a great time on this trip. 12 hours goes by very fast. You don’t get too much time at each stop and it was a lot of walking but Elizabeth was very thorough and send messages with pictures to make sure everyone was clear with where we were going and where we had to meet. Both Manarola and Monterosso were beautiful. We opted to have lunch at the restaurant Elizabeth recommended and that just made it super easy once we arrived at Monterosso. The food was good - we had the pesto. Pisa was very nice too. Only thing I wish was for the bathroom in the bus to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 644 reviews · from $157

Review of Milan’s 13-hour Cinque Terre tour with coach, boat, train, free time in Manarola and Monterosso, plus practical booking advice.

“The tours was good, and your given the chance to see many attractive spots. Our lady guide was extremely friendly and helpful, she provided a valuable information, big thanks! What i didn't find convenient about the trip, is that it takes all your day, you need to be at the meeting point by 6h45 (which means you probably need to wake up at 5h) and we're back at around 21h. If this time could be reduced it will be better. Probably offering a pick up/drop off options, and also i don't understand why the bus doesn't use the max allowed speed in the highway.”

“We both had a really good time with this trip! Serena was an excellent tour leader, very friendly and clear with her instructions to where to go, when to get off the train and what time we were moving on. I would recommend this tour if you are unsure of how to travel the Cinque Terre or have a shorter amount of time to see the villages. We both thought that there was enough time spent in each place to be able to get a good feel of the area. Thank you!”
