Semi-private day trip from Florence to Cinque Terre (3 villages) and Pisa, with Mercedes transfers, ferry/train tickets, and Wi-Fi.
“Tour/location is amazing. Sub par guide that spent more time in talking to strangers than to us. I would recommend that tour but not Gabriel as a tour guide as he was not prepared, and not informative.”

Private boat tour of Cinque Terre’s five towns from Monterosso with swims, homemade pesto, and English narration in about two hours.
“We had such a great time. The captain, Simone, grew up in Riomaggiore and his love for Cinque Terre was infectious. He told us about all the towns as we passed by, and we stopped to swim and jump off the rocks. We loved the focaccia and pesto that he provided as well. Simone’s English…”

“Mario was wonderful, start to finish. 13-14 hour day! We had our two boys, 9yoa &12yoa. Mario took great care of us; we say Manarola, Vernazza, & Riomaggiore.

“This was a wonderful tour of Cinque Terre. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the region and tailored the tour to our abilities (there can be a lot of stairs and hiking but doesn’t have to be). I really felt that I got a good picture of the history of the region which added so…”
Private Cinque Terre trek with local guide Pall, herbs and vineyard stories, then train to Monterosso. Avoid crowds at your pace.
“I can’t recommend our guide Pall enough. He is a local (and US ex-Pat) yet knows the Cinque Terre area and history well. He was able to take us on paths to avoid the crowds and had great recommendations for lunch and gelato too. He had great communications prior to meeting so we knew exactly…”

“Marta and Massimo were amazing. We had 12 people in 2 vans and the experience was perfecto! Both guides were very knowledgeable and so wonderful to spend time with. The drive was easy in our private very comfortable vans. I highly recommend this tour. We had kids from 12 to 21 and all enjoyed the…”
Private Cinque Terre day tour from Livorno with port pickup, air-conditioned rides, and a flexible plan to visit at least 3 villages.
“Top notch service! We were picked up at the port, right outside of our ship in a beautiful Mercedes SUV with waters waiting for us and plenty of leg room for my 6'4" husband. Emiliano gave us great recommendations based on his local knowledge for our day, helping us maximize our time to see as…”
Private 7-hour boat day from La Spezia to Portovenere and Cinque Terre with snorkeling gear, village time, wine, and local tastings.
“This very expensive day trip for three people had many surprises that took away from any joy of seeing the area. Fuel surcharge beyond the fare was 300 euro. We also ended up having terrible weather (rain) and sea swells that did not make for a good passage. Here is why you should be cautious…”
