Valeria, the Best Cinque Terre Small Group Tour Guide from Lucca - My wife and I joined Viator's Small Group Tour from Lucca for a wonderful six-hour tour. Valeria is a passionate and informed guide for her country. She provided excellent commentary about the sights we passed on our way to the five villages of Cinque Terre. The Marble Quarries, 14th-century hilltop villages, and the history of the terraced vineyards of Vernazza, Manarola, and Monterosso were eloquently described. She smoothly guided us to the boat tours, then met us at the next village. She led us through the villages, pointing out medieval defensive castles. She suggested restaurants and artisan stores. We were given free time to explore each of the villages. What a wonderful guide for the Viator Small Group Tour.

A place I’ve been wanting to visit. Beautiful! - Our tour of cinque Terre was excellent. Our tour guide was informative and very nice. We went by bus and then by ferry. I thought the time at each stop was very good.

Lots to see in a short... - Lots to see in a short period of time. Knowledgeable, flexible, friendly guide. Nice to have a motor coach drive you home after all the fun! We were able to see 4 of the 5 cities that make up Cinque Terra. We spent an appropriate amount of time in each location. The motor coach to La Spezia was pleasant as were the ferry rides and the final motor coach back was key. We were all exhausted by the end of the day and the driver took great care to get us home happily and safely. This tour was well planned and excuted - would definitely book again.

Beautiful nature and culture trip by boat. - This was a very beautiful trip, by bus, by boat, by train. We had it all. Our guide Marta was very very good. She told us interesting things about the neighbourhood. She was very friendly and careful for all of us. The villages are very authentic and beautiful. Also very crowded, which is not always so pleasant. We can recommend this tour for a 100%

Memorable day out - Victor was fabulous guide (Victorio?) for the day. I think two trips were merged but it wasnt a problem as we skipped third town to spend time at last town to use beach and take a swim. Great weather so able to use ferries. Great group of fellow travellers. Everyone got on well and driver & guide were amazing.

A fabulous day out…. - A wonderful day, visiting four beautiful towns. Our guide Victorio was informative and fun, and took great care of us. We spent our time as we pleased in each town, and the ferry rides between the towns provided the most beautiful views of the coastline. Roberto drove us expertly to and from Lucca. A lovely tour group, and a special day!

Great day out - Everything was very well organised and Vittorio and Roberto were a great team. Although the ferries weren’t running that day, the train connections worked well and we really had a fantastic day in a beautiful part of the world. The information provided by Vittorio as guide was all very interesting.

An absolute must - Cinque Terre by minibus and boat. Roberto was a brilliant safe driver, picking us up from Lucca to the first village. Marta provided so much information on the history of Lucca and the Cinque Terre. Then making sure we made each ferry to our final pick up point. Well done both.
