We had a fantastic day with Lisa! She was very professional and kept everyone on track, despite challenges with the train schedule. She was helpful and answered all questions when we had them. Highly recommended!
Beautiful day by train to the Cinque Terre. The guide was very nice, and the schedule was really respected. A must-do without hesitation 😀
The Tour included our local guide, train tickets, valid till midnight, so we could stay after the conclusion of our tour and a limoncino tasting. We explored 3 of the 5 Terre and were given plenty of time, before meeting up again to travel as a group to the next station. Being shoulder season, the crowds weren't excessive, the weather was brilliant and made climbing stairs and exploring, easier. There were plenty of choices for dining and the relaxed atmosphere was delightful. Romina, our guide was so helpful and accomodating, showing us where to meet and sending us train tickets if we chose to stay longer. Highly recommend this tour.
Our guide, Romina, gave us plenty of time in these amazing towns. Visiting 3 out of the 5 Terre in this tour by train was a great way to appreciate their unique and beautiful terrain. Romina gave us the option to stay longer and utilise our tickets and explore the other 2 villages after our tour concluded. This region is a must see, as it is UNESCO listed, please be aware of the tickets that cover protections and restrictions for this incredible and beautiful area.
Off-Season very small group (3 + guide). Very thorough communication from company coordinating meeting. Text, then phone call to make sure we located our guide at the train station. Our guide, Lisa, was super friendly and energetic. Spoke great English and knew the Cinque Terra area very well. She had great insights. Lisa recommended an amazing place for lunch in Vernazza (get the stuffed muscles you will not be disappointed). We also took her dinner recommendation in La Spezia which was a super cool hidden (downstairs) gem. Lisa took pictures for us and was simply awesome. Tour was well paced, with plenty of time to see the villages and take it in! Climb the tower in Vernazza (if you’re able), the view is worth it! Off season, Monterosso was pretty much shuttered. Riomaggiore and Vernazza had more to offer (but Monterosso was a much larger geographic area to explore). Tour complete made it easy to see Cinque Terra Highly recommend.
We can always want to stay more considering the beauty of the place but we could not cajole so this solution was admirable! Big thank you to our guide!!
Very good visit to Cinque Terre with a beautiful guide!! Great kindness, empathy and interesting knowledge of the place. Quality interpreter who easily juggled English and for us French. Very very friendly exchanges with her!! I wish many tourists to have him as a guide! Thanks again to her!! Dominic and Francis
The places we toured are spectacular and the Romina guide was lovely, the time we had was enough to see the villages.
Excellent work of Lisa to whom we thank the kindness and explanations in all the journey, we have felt very wrapped up.
A unique and wonderful experience. Thank you to IGNA for your explanations and for showing us everything about Cinque Terre.
