Amazing customer service! We booked a family trip to Cinque Terre with Tomasso and had a great time. Tomasso was professional, very flexible and extremely knowledgeable. We have seen and learned a lot and had a great time!

This was an awesome experience! We thought we were getting a private van driver to Cinque Terre but got a personal tour guide as well! Raphael was so personal & knowledgeable!! He recommended a great place for lunch & we asked him to join us. Then at the end we stopped for some limoncello spritz & beer. Would definitely recommend asking for Raphael!!
Our guide Tommaso was the greatest! He provided a fabulous commentary during our ride, took us to several beautiful lookout stops, and guided us through Cinque Terre. He was extremely professional and friendly, with the right combination of the two. Tommaso gave us choices of places to see and to eat lunch, and did not rush us. We did this as a private tour off a cruise and it was a most wonderful day!
We had the pleasure of having Raphale spend the day with our family for a second time, this time showing us the beautiful coastal Cinque Terre towns. What an absolutely beautiful place made even more special by Raphale telling us about the history and giving us the highlights. After two trips in one week with Raphale, he was like part of our family. I highly recommend using him for any activities to see the beautiful country of Italy and learning about the history and culture. Thank you Raphale!!!
Raffaele was the best tour guide! He made the day in Cinque Terra so special. We hope to see you again when we come to visit in Lucca!
Rafaelle was punctual with a smile. Easy driver with a clean car. Very patient with my hurting knees. He came with a great option. Thank you for the consideration. Enjoyed your knowleadge and enthusiasm. I will keep on enjoying the Prosecco! Cheers!
Our guide Federico contacted us a day prior introducing himself and assuring us we would have a great experience. Federico was punctual at our meeting point with a welcome smile. Was glad to see this because our trip was from Lucca to Cinque Terre, not next door. We went to Manarola first and we opted for lunch early. Both my knees were hurting at this point (only 64). Federico saw and understood the situation and came with a better alternative for us. We are grateful to him. Yes, we did read the advise prior to booking but underestimated the fisical effort this trip requiered. Federico made us feel comfortable, he explained and showed us important sites/points. The van was clean and the temperature just fine. We had a great day!
Tomasso was excellent. Very knowledgeable and good company. He gave us a wonderful and enjoyable day. Thank you.
Raffaele is a very good tour guide!! He showed us all the best spots and history of Cinque Terre!!! Best tour we had in Italy!!
There were 16 of us from ages 6 to 75 so a variety of interests and agility levels but they arranged everything to fit our needs and interests for a magnificent day to Cinque Terre. I can’t say enough about how knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating Tomazo and Rafael (not sure I’ve spelled those right) were. Don’t hesitate to contact them to arrange for one of their tours, ours was one we will never forget!
Thomas was our guide for the day! He was very personable and took the time to learn about our families interest for the day! He was very knowledgeable about the Italian history and our area. Thomas gave us the flexibility to decide how our day would go after he gave us his expert opinion. He also helped us navigate the best restaurant to choose for a delicious lunch. We had a fantastic day!
Marco is very nice and is a great driver. He really explains how the transportation works in the Cinque Terre. However, this is basically just transportation to and from the Cinque Terre. He does not tour with the group which we were expecting based on the Viator Experience post. I thought it was a bit expensive for just transportation.
Raffaele took very good care of us for a picture perfect tour of Cinque Terre! His informative, relaxed and accommodating pace was the very best way to close out our last excursion in Italy! I would most definitely recommend him!
Great tour. Very informative along the way. Accommodating and courteous. Told us to make this tour our own. Very “Chill” day. Loved the easy drive.
Our guide, Raffaele, was awesome. A fountain of knowledge from a historical, architectural, geological and commercial viewpoint. A very kind and enthusiastic guide. He accompanied us throughout our trip. Highly recommend this tour group provider.
Cinque Terre was the cherry on top of our trip to Italy. Our tour guide Raffaele was amazing. He took us on multiple tours throughout Tuscany and the knowledge and passion he displayed made for a fantastic experience.
Very happy with the service. It is a transport service, the driver doesn't go with you into the town but he does provide insight of what to see/do. Asking the driver for ideas and options is worth while.
Marco collected us from a few metres walk from our hotel in a comfortable, spacious shuttle. He then drove us directly to the first town of the 5 of the Cinque Terre cluster- Manarola. About an hour and a half’s drive. He drove carefully and chatted with us the whole way there also providing lots of knowledge about the local area and pointing out many interesting spots that we passed along the way. There was a lot of free leisure time in the Cinque Terre, where we had more than enough time to see all of them at our own pace comfortably and Marcos instructions on how to travel to the next villages on the local train there were spot on. We had time to see all of the villages but chose to only see Manarola, Vernazza and Monterosso. All of these have quite steep hilly walks so keep that in mind if you’re not an able walker. It is accessible though with ramps and lifts, mostly. We managed fine with a toddler in a stroller but it is quite pebbly/rocky on paths. Marco met us later on in the last village and then drove us straight back to our hotel. A very comfortable and enjoyable day trip from Pisa. Thank you Marco, it was very nice to meet you! :)
Despite high winds and rain, we had a memorable experience visiting Cinque Terre. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the trip interesting and enjoyable.
Our tour with Raffaelle was awesome and he is an incredible guide! He picked us up right on time at 9am around the Pisa area and drove the approximately 90 minutes to Manarola. Along the way, he gave us the region history, pointed out interesting facts about various industrial for the area, and answered any questions we had. We were a little hesitant before the trip because we were only visiting two of the five Cinque Terre towns, and thought we might be getting a little short-change. However, that turned out to be the perfect quantity for what we wanted while keeping a relaxed schedule. We were doing a day trip to the area and was able to visit the most well-known towns and most accessible by vehicle. You will do uphill and downhill walking so wear appropriate shoes. Back to Raffaelle. He gave us great instructions and found the right amount of being with us and letting us explore. He showed up at the right time and helped guide us to the best picture locations. We requested a lunch reservation and he came through with flying colors. The restaurant he chose was nice, open-air, and the food was delicious! He brought us to a point outside of Cinque Terre that one could not get to if you were taking the train (unless you hiked up a very long road). Raffaelle had us back in the time we requested. The price for the tour was very reasonable, and even more so if you have other couples with you to split the cost. Will definitely look up this tour group and request Raffaelle the next time we're in the area for a tour (note they do other tours including that of the famous marble quarries/foundries in the area).
Our tour guides Tommaso and Raffaele were friendly, personable, prompt, and professional. Tommaso communicated with me frequently leading up to the tour and answered all my questions in advance. On the day of the tour, they arrived promptly with two beautiful, air-conditioned vans for our group of 11 people. On the way to Cinque Terre, they shared lots of interesting information about the area, and when we arrived at our destination, they knew exactly how to navigate the towns so we got the best experience we could’ve hoped for. These guys are wonderful! Highly recommend.
Our group had a wonderful experience with Raffaele. Made our trip to Cinque Terre relaxed and enjoyable. He had heaps of knowledge to impart upon us and time went so fast! Couldn’t recommend it highly enough
My friend and I went to Cinque Terre with Tomasso and it was a perfect day. By the end, we were friends! He knew how to answer all our questions. He took us to Manarola and after walking this gorgeous village, we had an amazing lunch at a restaurant he booked. We then went to Porto Venetian where we strolled and shopped and enjoyed the waterfront. Tommaso never hurried us and let us set the pace. I cannot recommend him highly enough! Grazie Tommaso!!
Tommaso was the most gracious, informative guide we could have asked for to take us on a tour of Cinque Terre from Lucca. We went to Manarola and Porto Venero...the towns were magical and the day absolutely delightful. Grazie, Tommaso!
Marco was the best!! Very patient and considerate… knowledgeable and passionate about showing us Italy and Cinque Terre… tour was amazing!
If we could give 10 stars we would! From the beginning it was a great experience. Right after booking, I heard from Tommasso with his phone number, a few details and some rhings to think about. Day of: Raffaele was the best tour guide. Super attentive and lots of information. He had such a world of knowledge. He let us go on our own at times but was always around to help guide us. The spots he suggested were beautiful. We enjoyed having lunch at Trattoria Da'Billy and he was gracious enough to join us and help us order all great food. The weather was beautiful and we just couldnt ask for more. Just prepare to walk if you want to see all the great things they have in store!
Thomas was an excellent guide, very informative, friendly, flexible and fun! We had a great day with him.
Rafaele was such a personable and accommodating guide. He is a treasure trove of knowledge and loves sharing it with you. He allowed us to see things at our own pace and we never felt like we were on a time line. I recommend this tour to everyone.
Excellent Service. Great guide, extreme punctuality and great availability. The experience offered is absolutely to be recommended.
