5Martina our guide
Martina our guide was amazing. Calm, clear and had great advice on where the best places were for Pasta and Gelato and explaining the history of each village. Thank you for a wonderful day.
2Disappointed
We were disappointed with the tour. When booking the tour it said it would be 7-8hrs but it ended up only being 5hrs. The tour guide was very unorganized and didn’t know where we were going. The lemoncello tasting was extremely small and lasted a minute.
5Fantastic Day!
We had a fantastic day with Lisa! She was very professional and kept everyone on track, despite challenges with the train schedule. She was helpful and answered all questions when we had them. Highly recommended!
5A beautiful way to spend a day!
The Tour included our local guide, train tickets, valid till midnight, so we could stay after the conclusion of our tour and a limoncino tasting. We explored 3 of the 5 Terre and were given plenty of time, before meeting up again to travel as a group to the next station. Being shoulder season, the crowds weren't excessive, the weather was brilliant and made climbing stairs and exploring, easier. There were plenty of choices for dining and the relaxed atmosphere was delightful. Romina, our guide was so helpful and accomodating, showing us where to meet and sending us train tickets if we chose to stay longer. Highly recommend this tour.
5A World Wonder!
Our guide, Romina, gave us plenty of time in these amazing towns. Visiting 3 out of the 5 Terre in this tour by train was a great way to appreciate their unique and beautiful terrain. Romina gave us the option to stay longer and utilise our tickets and explore the other 2 villages after our tour concluded. This region is a must see, as it is UNESCO listed, please be aware of the tickets that cover protections and restrictions for this incredible and beautiful area.
5Friendly, Great Communication, Worth It!
Off-Season very small group (3 + guide). Very thorough communication from company coordinating meeting. Text, then phone call to make sure we located our guide at the train station. Our guide, Lisa, was super friendly and energetic. Spoke great English and knew the Cinque Terra area very well. She had great insights. Lisa recommended an amazing place for lunch in Vernazza (get the stuffed muscles you will not be disappointed). We also took her dinner recommendation in La Spezia which was a super cool hidden (downstairs) gem. Lisa took pictures for us and was simply awesome. Tour was well paced, with plenty of time to see the villages and take it in! Climb the tower in Vernazza (if you’re able), the view is worth it! Off season, Monterosso was pretty much shuttered. Riomaggiore and Vernazza had more to offer (but Monterosso was a much larger geographic area to explore). Tour complete made it easy to see Cinque Terra Highly recommend.

About La Spezia
La Spezia is a Ligurian port on the Gulf of Poets, with a naval harbour, museums and the main rail gateway to the Cinque Terre villages and Portovenere.
La Spezia lies at the head of a deep gulf on the Ligurian coast, ringed by hills of olive groves and sheltered by a long breakwater. It is an important naval base as well as a commercial port, and a seafront promenade, Passeggiata Morin, runs beside the harbour. The Amedeo Lia Museum holds paintings and medieval works, and the Castello di San Giorgio on a hill above keeps finds from the area.
