Wonderful tour to an amazing place. Victor meet us at the cruise ship for the 1.5 hour drive to the first location. Along the way he was very informative giving us the history of the area. We arrived at the first town where we had time to explore before boarding the boat which took us to our next destinations. All throughout the day Victor made sure to keep us informed on what we were seeing and gave us time to explore on our own. The towns are so amazing and we had an incredible lunch before heading back to the ship. Definitely a great experience.

Reviews
If you want to see Cinque Terre in a compact and a worry free manor, I would definitely recommend this tour. My wife and I were picked up at the port of Livorno, where our cruise ship was docked, and spent a pleasant day with our guide and our driver. No issues and no problems. We also made a visit to Pisa that was nice as well.
This was a great day trip from Livorno. They guaranteed our arrival back at the cruise port for our ship departure and we arrived back with plenty of time to spare. No stressing at the end which made it more enjoyable. Our tour guide ‘Vittorio” was perfect for our group. We wandered through the skinny small colourful town, we got to travel the sea and look back at the stunning landscape. We got to see the Carrara marble hills on the way to our excursion. Our guide was well versed in where to eat and drink, things of interest and history. We laughed we smiled we saw and we enjoyed! Definitely a tour and a company that deserves thought for tours. We will definitely be using them again.
This is a great private tour. The transportation and the guide are awesome and do an incredible job. We had Victor as our guide, and he was outstanding. We highly recommend this company!
Excelent guide Victorio, very good English, extremely helpful, flexible giving options and recommendations. Took us to all cinque terre towns giving us free time, very pleasant trip. And the driver Roberto very good too.
We had Marta as our guide and she was punctual meeting us inside the port. She was so knowledgeable and shared lots of great info and tidbits for us to learn about the cities and their history etc. She made sure we stopped at good areas to take family photos. She helped us with food suggestions and even helped book our beach chairs while we ate so we didn't have to worry about that afterwards. The beach was beautiful and fun for all of us especially the kids! She went above and beyond and we really appreciate her. She made sure we got good photos at the Leaning tower of Pisa as well. Our driver was great too! We really had a great time and would use them again without hesitation! Book them for your Cinque Terre and Pisa tours!
Lots of driving but a fantastic tour! Our guide was great, and we feel like we got to experience everything we wanted to see!
Laura was incredibly friendly and provided local insights on how to maximize our experience with Pisa and Cinque Terra. Definitely recommend this tour for those who would otherwise miss out on these historic landmarks by having to pick between them.
My family had a wonderful day with our tour guide, Martha. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and very knowledgeable. She curated a personalized day based on our timeline and what we wanted to see. Very well done, and quite memorable!
Don't book with this company. The communication was very poor. Our itinerary was changed last minute without any heads up. There are hidden fees. We were left feeling uncomfortable by this company. It was a mistake booking with this company.
Excellent tour with Marta and Roberto. They took great care of us. Highly recommend this!
Well planned, super knowledgable guide and driver, speaks perfect English and Italian, always smiling. The tour went through the 5 Cinque Terre cities and Pisa, he knew the perfect picture spots, what to avoid, stopping wherever we wanted, such a good flow of the day. Thank you Victorio and Robert for an unforgettable day. I hope our paths meet again.
Victor was an excellent guide-knowledgeable, personable, helpful, humorous and lots of other positive things. Our skillful driver navigated the highways and streets with care and confidence. Wonderful experience!
This was a very expensive excursion and we were disappointed because we could not understand our tour guide, Castanza. Her English was very broken and we could only understand a word here or there. She did not give us information on rest rooms and did not give good suggestions on the best things to do on each of the three villages we visited.
While expensive, this tour gets you close to Pisa to avoid crowds and into Cinque Terra so you can see 3 of the 5 villages. Massimo was excellent and enjoyed time with him. Happy we spent the extra to get private tour.
I cannot say enough about the wonderful day we had with Vittorio and our driver Roberto. Even through they do this every day, they bring a fresh, energetic energy to every stop we made! Not having a real idea of what we were in for, Vittorio took the lead and took us to 3 of the villages and they did not disappoint! We took the train he arranged, allowed time to swim and eat (the fired calamari place he recommended was AMAZING), and gave us the BEST photo ops. THEN there was Pisa which was so charming beyond the leaning tower. This is a day that will hold dear in my memories for many years to come!
We spent an absolutely fabulous day with Vittorio on this tour. A perfect mixture of guided tour and knowledge sharing, together with some private time for us to explore at the Cinque Terre and Pisa. Private car was very smooth and comfortable. Would highly recommend.
Our group of 7 had a wonderful day touring Cinque Terre and Pisa with Ursula! From the minute we were picked up at our cruise terminal by Ursula, in a large and comfortable air-conditioned mini-bus, we then drove to Cinque Terre. When we arrived in Cinque Terre, Ursula purchased our ferry tickets so we could visit 3 of the 5 villages. She gave us some history and tips on unique places to see and food to eat in each place, which were all very special and on target!! After a lovely few hours and lunch at her recommended restaurant where she arranged a table for us, we got back in the same vehicle and took us to Pisa. As parking is non-existent and the crowds were large, we were so thankful that we were able to be dropped off by the entrance! It was a quick stop to Pisa but felt we got to explore (and get gelato) to experience Pisa. Then it was a drive back to the cruise ship. A perfect day thanks to Ursula! We ALL highly recommend taking her guided tour of Cinque Terre and Pisa if you are in Italy.
The private tour went very smoothly with Victor as our guide and Roberto as our driver. Originally I had no ideas how to arrange time for different villages within only 8 hours tour, since it took around 90 min. driving to the area. Victor was very experienced and suggested we stopped two major villages and moved between villages by ship, so we also got chances to look at other villages from sea. Food he suggested was nice. Time control was perfect, and we also got chance to have a look at the Pisa tower on our way back. Victor told us many interesting things and knowledge about this area, and Roberto was so friendly and nice. We were back to Livorno at exactly 17:10 which Roberto predicted. (all aboard time is 18:00) Oh, not only the tour itself was nice. The lady Diana at reservation office was also very helpful and informative. Will surely recommend people to book excursion with Bellaitalia.
The tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide Malta (Marta?) was awesome! She provided a good mix between spending time with our guide who gave detailed information and having time to explore on our own. Our driver was awesome too. The vehicle was bery comforts also.
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 experience.
We contacted Bellaitalia tours as a last resort, after contacting many others, we were impressed by the details and felt very comfortable with Diana’s messages. We are so happy with all the tours we booked with them. Booking tours from Canada for our European holiday was difficult until we spoke to Diana. Thank you making our trip amazing .Romina and a driver picked us up from Le Spezia port and took us to Pisa, then to Cinque Terre, because I use a wheelchair Romina switch up the tour so I could get around easier. We did two towns and saw the remaining town by ferry. Romina was excellent, I would recommend this company without hesitation.
Marta was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. We were only going to do Cinque Terre and 2 days prior to tour the group wanted to go to Pisa. I contacted her and she made it happen.
Wonderful day, our guide and driver were great. We were able to visit 3 of the villages and had time to walk around, eat and shop. We had a fantastic time!
This was a great day excursion from our cruise ship in Livorno. Marta was our wonderful, knowledgable guide for the day. She picked us up right at the ship and then drove to Riomaggiore where we boarded the ferry to Vernazza. The ride on the ferry provided amazing views of the villages. We enjoyed a delicious lunch in Vernazza, based on Marta’s recommendation. We then took the train to Montarosso where we enjoyed the seaside walk and spent a couple hours exploring and shopping in the village. BellaItalia Tours was very helpful, with great communication and we truly enjoyed spending the day with Marta. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.
We enjoyed every moment of our tour. The drive was beautiful and many things were explained to us on our way. Thanks to Roberto for the comfortable ride. Costanza took us to three of the villages and told us of the best areas to see and eat. We then had time on our own to look around while she took care of the train tickets. She directed us to the train and helped us get from one village to another. This was so appreciated. It would have taken all our time just trying to figure things out but because of her help and direction we were able to just enjoy our time. We had a perfect day.
A delightful day visiting Pisa and Cinque Terra. Laura was a fun and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend this tour and seeing the quaint towns along the coast.
We had an amazing day. We booked through Bella Italia & we opted for an extra hour & a tour guide. They were prompt & picked us up & dropped us off at our cruise ship. Great communication beforehand & day of. We had 16 people in 2 vans. The vans stayed together the whole time. Emilia our driver was excellent, very knowledgeable & very nice. When we got to Riomaggiore she left us with our tour guide Laura. She was wonderful & took us to 3 of the villages & navigated the ferries for us. She kept our group of 16 together & gave us a wonderful tour. We then met up with Emilia & the other driver for our stop in Pisa. We had time to walk around & take pictures. They then returned us back to our cruise ship in plenty of time. Highly recommend Bella Italia & going to Cinque Terre. One of the most beautiful places I e been to.
This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our van was at the port to pick us up. It was almost brand new — comfortable and modern. We had been to Pisa before so we decided to focus only on Cinque Terre. We started with a drop-off at Rio Maggiore, and rode the ferry to Vernazza and then Monterosso. Our guide Marta was able to answer every question we had, and recommend a great seaside restaurant in Monterosso for lunch (though we had some snacks along the way!) She pointed out the sites to see in each village, but gave us time to explore them on our own. I would definitely say go with the ferries unless you have someone in your group who gets seasick. But the trains also looked fun and I may try those the next time I'm in the area. Also - Bella Italia's service by email is great. We had some last-minute questions about potentially adding some other guests (who didn't wind up coming), and we adjusted the start time a bit, and they were happy to help.
So much to see! Ursula and Roberto gave us the royal treatment and allowed us to experience the charm of three villages in Cinque Terre. And we topped it off with the obligatory visit to Pisa, which did not disappoint! Definitely the way to see the region!
Our guide Luigi and driver Roberto made sure we quickly were able to visit everything on the itinerary and tell us about many important points along the way.
This was a private family tour (kids aged 13 and 8). It was expensive, but it was totally worth it. Simona was our driver, and Laura was our tour guide. Both were fabulous. Simona gave us a lot of info on our long drive there, and she gave us time to rest on the long drive back. We paid extra to have a tour leader, and it was great to have more info and directions on what to do in the different cities. We also wanted the classic Pisa pictures, so Simona gave us suggestions on where to take the photos. We paid a lot for this to be private, which was also great to personalize it for our family's needs. Highly recommend this tour company!
Best day of our trip! Stefano was an excellent driver! We were able to see and do everything and did not feel rushed. We visiting 3 towns in the 5T, swam and a beach club in Monterossa and ate lunch. We also got to see Pisa on the way back to our ship.
Our group of 8 had the most wonderful tour of Cinque Terre and Pisa with our driver, Iuri, and local guide for Cinque Terre, Romina! From the minute we were picked up at our cruise terminal by Iuri, in a large and comfortable air-conditioned mini-bus, Iuri drove us to Cinque Terre, whilst giving us the history of the region and a deeper dive into the culture of this area of Italy. We arrived refreshed in Cinque Terre and met Romina, who escorted through a ferry ride and stops at three of the villages. She gave us some history and tips on unique places to see and food to eat in each place, which were all very special and on target!! After a lovely few hours and lunch we got back in the same vehicle with Iuri, who had cold waters waiting for us :) and he took us to Pisa, with a skip the line experience in the old city! As parking is non-existent and the crowds were large, we were so thankful that Iuri was able to do this for us! Pisa exceeded all of our expectations, and we had plenty of time to explore, as Iuri was following our lead. Then it was a drive up the Arno and the scenic route back to the ship. A perfect day thanks to the duo of Iuri and Romina ! We ALL highly recommend taking their guided tour of Cinque Terre and Pisa if you are in Italy. You won't be disappointed!
We just returned home from our 2 week vacation. I just wanted to say what a wonderful time we had with Luigi on our private tour of Cinque Terre from Livorno! Our party of 12 had and amazing time. I will recommend over and over again to our friends and family. Thank you for our memorable experience! We were able to explore three towns and a quick visit to Pisa. We came in on the Norwegian Viva at 6 and make sure you start early we booked for 715am . The minibus was new and very comfortable. You won’t want to miss out on this tour!
We really enjoyed our tour guides Ursula and Alessandro. They took care of us and shared the beautiful sites of Pisa and the Cinque Terra. Personable, passionate, and easy going. The beauty of the coast is not to be missed. Don't miss out on this one! Ciao!!
Our day was wonderful, we visited Cinque Terra and Pisa. Our guide Yuri made sure our day was organized and smooth from start to finish. My wife, two teenage kids and myself had an absolutely amazing time, thank you Yuri and thank you Bellaitalia Tours for a day we will never forget!
Constanza Best tour guide! She was friendly, thoughtful of our time and had many great stories. Roberto was our driver and he was great as well. Would highly recommend this tour!
This was an absolutely incredible and unforgettable day. Luigi and "Mario" were fantastic. So knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of my 72 yo mother in law. I could not recommend them more highly.
Our trip was amazing! Our driver Amelia was beyond fabulous, she made us feel at home and very comfortable. Our tour guide Romina was also wonderful showing us different spot in Cinque Terre. This trip is a must do!
Our trip began with Iuri picking us up in a private air conditioned van at the cruise port in Livorno. Iuri was very friendly and very knowledgeable about his surroundings and answered all of our questions during the very picturesque drive from Livorno to Cinque Terre National Park. Our first stop was Riomaggiore. Here Iuri introduced us to Laura, our tour guide for next few hours in Cinque Terre. Riomaggiore is a beautifully colorful little town in which Laura guided us to the best shops, places to grab a bite to eat and best picture spots for us to take pictures. She never hesitated to take a picture of all of us. She informed us of the history, culture and dishes that makes each town special. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and was very patient and kind with us. Laura not only was a great tour guide but she quickly became very good friends with us as well. We didn’t feel as if we were on a “guided” tour, but felt that we were actually on vacation with a friend. Laura stayed with us throughout the tour where she took us on a ferry ride into the next town of Vernazza and then my favorite, Monterosso where we ate and drank the local wine that we purchased at a local shop which, of course, was recommended by Laura. The owner was very kind and was very happy to see Laura and advised us on which was the best wine to taste. All in all our tour to Cinque Terre was very beautiful, fund a a great success which was made possible by the best drive, Iuri and most of all by Laura. I would highly recommend this tour especially if your tour guide is Laura.
This day trip was the highlight of our visit to Italy. Massimo was an incredible tour guide on the travel to/from the site as well as a quick visit to Pisa. Laura was amazing while we were in Cinque Terra and both were incredibly professional and engaging. They were also very flexible and accommodating with our family of 8 (adults, seniors, teens, toddlers) and their passion for their jobs and their home was evident. 6 stars out of 5
Fantastic tour- great way to see all of the villages. The weather was nice so we were able to travel between the villages by ferry. Our guide ( Elana) and driver ( Amelia) were great, very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended
Best tour of our 10-day cruise!!! Stefano, our driver, picked us up and told us the history of the area the whole way to Cinque Terre. Laura was our guide for Cinque Terre. She was FANTASTIC!!! Spoke very good English and projected her voice well. We want her for every tour we do. Knowledgeable, pleasant, energetic and a great country ambassador. Ask for Laura!
Our tour guide Elena was waiting for us at the port right when we got off our ship and was absolutely lovely all day! She chatted with us and showed us many interesting things on the drive to Cinque Terre. She was incredibly helpful with everything we needed, suggested many amazing things for us to try, booked all of our train/ferry tickets, and helped us get a spot at a restaurant. The towns were beautiful and even though it was a bit rainy we had the best day just exploring each one. On the way back to the ship the driver Leonardo, who was also great, stopped at Pisa and we got to see the plaza and leaning tower. We had a very busy few days on our Mediterranean cruise, and this was for sure one of our favorites! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to spend time in Cinque Terre and also visit Pisa!
This tour was amazing. The ride with Simona was comfortable. She is very funny and an excellent driver. We made our way to 3 of the 5 villages with ferry rides and lots of time to visit and walk around with good tips where to eat and do. Would recommend 100 percent. We were a group of 6.
Timely professional driver & guide. Costanza was easy understandable English tour of our requested Cinque Terra & Pisa sites. Exceptional knowledge of the history & terrain. Adriano was an excellent driver of a new immaculate comfortable van and went out of his way to help us by waiting for us to disembark from cruise ship & deliver us to our hotel. Helped with luggage and was so patient. Price was exceptional value.
We loved Porto Venere! We loved the boat ride past the five villages of Cinque Terre. Visiting the last two villages was nice; however, we felt like we were visiting all of our tour guide’s favorite places and had few options of our own. She also didn’t seem to want to go to Pisa. We did go and she and our driver were so kind to drive us to a special church our friend had wanted to photograph. All this being said, we very much enjoyed the day. We wish it had been less expensive! 😃
Luigi and our driver Naz were outstanding. There were 6 of us making this such an incredible experience with Luigi as our guide. He took great care of us, We saw more towns than we thought we would and enjoyed them all. We also got to Pisa in spite of the rain. Luigi is an expert in the area and so personable. Highly recommend him and the tour itself.
Really an amazing day Cinque Terra was on my bucket list Vito is a great guide it is expensive but worth it
