Customer Reviews
Tour guide was great too.
Very chaotic start… crowded and the guide was someone other than Tour Guide. But the actual locations were beautiful with plenty of time.
Our tour guide Giuliano was awesome. Gave us the history of each place we went to and tips on where to goahen we got there. We had about 40 people or so in our group and he did an amazing job of keeping everyone together. Wish we had more time a cinque terre. It was an amazing beautiful city.
This tour is worth it for the views of Cinqeterre alone. But the addition of seeing Pisa as well just added to the value. Our guide Nathan also gave an impromptu “photography for smartphone” class which was an interesting addition.
