Great tour - It was great to be able to go with a small group of people because the towns were very crowded. Our guide was very informative and helped us make the most of our time in each of the towns. I felt like we had a good amount of time and each time to explore. I would definitely recommend this tour

Must do this small group! - What a wonderful tour group! Everything went smoothly, and I highly recommend this specific tour group in this small size. The company itself is very reachable (easy to call and confirm info etc) and very organized. The drive was comfortable with good AC. Emma was a phenomenal tour guide and everyone loved her! The time at Cinque Terre is really personalizable. The guide will give you options on how to self explore, and it’s very easy to navigate. Make sure to bring a bathing suit so you can get into the water! (I'd recommend not choosing the lunch if you’re 1-3 people. This company does a phenomenal job setting it up and it’s a good option for big groups. But if you’re not, it’s not worth it and the waitstaff isn’t the kindest).

Great day at Cinque Terre - Gabriele and Giovani were great! Informative, helpful, knew what to show in terms of views, secret passages, the recommended restaurant provided a nice meal. Bring flip-flops or water shoes for the rocky beach!!

Perfect excursion to Cinque Terre - Perfect day traveling from Florence to Cinque Terre. The tour leader, Frederica, was perfect. She kept us all informed on when/where to meet at each location. She purchased the train and boat tickets, so we didn't have to mess with any of those details. She also provided tips at each location on where to go to see what you were interested in. Could not have been better!

Everything perfect - Everything was great! From getting off the bus, to explanations, to trains between the cities of Cibque Terre, to free time. The guide Sebastião is attentive and the driver Paulo is patient. We love it! Besides, Cinque Terre is stunning!

Nice excursion to Cinque Terre in a not so small group - It was a long day with an early start, but that was necessary to have the opportunity to get a taste of four of the five villages of Cinque Terre, especially in light of the large crowds still present on an overcast day in October. Our guide, John, was great, but our one complaint was that we signed up and paid for a “small group of no more than 12 people”, only to find that our group numbered 22 people and we traveled on a full size bus back and forth to Cinque Terre. This inevitably diluted our interactions with our guide and no doubt made his job more difficult herding a bigger group through the very crowded train stations of Cinque Terre, in addition to making the four plus hours of motor travel take longer than it would have in a smaller, more maneuverable van.

Worth seeing - The views are outstanding, just be aware there are a lot of steps so it is not suitable if you cannot walk up steps. The guide we had was very good, he gave tips on the best points for the views and gave advice on other places to see in Florence. My only advise would be for the guide to make themselves available during the free time as at times due to the language barrier he was hard to understand. It is not possible for the guide to walk with everyone as there were those with limitations with their physical ability and this would have impacted on all in the group. Overall a very good tour.

Terrible tour! - This was a terrible tour. We could hardly understand the tour guide. Her English was terrible, and she did not explain what we were going to be doing. We booked and paid for a small tour, max 8 people and with a mini van. We got a tour of 19 people on a big bus. Lunch was terrible and we were seated next to the bathroom with long lines. The worst part was we were told we were getting a boat cruise. It turn out to be just a quick shuttle from one city to another. Our guide did not tell us we were supposed to get off the boat. We were almost left behind. I will never book a tour though CiaFlorence and will discourage anyone I speak to from signing up on a tour run through this company.

False advertising - dreadful - We booked the advertised tour for 12 people with lunch. We ended up with 25 people in our tour, not enough time at each place - completely rushed and totally different to the advertised itinerary. lunch was dreadful and I mean dreadful. Save your money and simply get the train.
