January 17, 2022 Tonie Szymanski

You'll find rugged beauty and a slow pace in the Cinque Terre. Named for the five towns of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, this portion of the Italian Riviera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cars aren't allowed, so take local trains or ferries to go from town to town—or walk one of the spectacular trails that connect them.

The day was good however a couple of constructive feedback points for you 1) when I first looked at the trip the meeting point was at the end of the road the hotel was on, however your e-ticket and website made us go to the main bus station 20 mins tram ride away and the tour guide commented as I hadn’t checked in a Julian’s Bar, as everyone else had. 2) the second point is to do with the final leg of the trip in Siena, when it was pouring with rain and we were about to head back to the bus and the tour guides boss had come up with another great idea for the small cost of €3 everyone could get the trenino back to the bus, half the clients didn’t want to do this and we were made to stand in the rain getting wet whilst the main tour guide waited for the trenino to arrive before the walkers were allowed to set off on foot back to the bus. Had I not stepped up and asked for the walkers to be allowed to walk with a guide without waiting, we would of been soaked!

At the first village you will stop, it seems to go back in time!

Our family used this wonderful company for a day trip from the port. From the driver, Simone, waiting for us (with a smile) at the port terminal as we exited the cruise boat to telling our group of seven all about Tuscany (as we drove towards Florence), this adventure was outstanding. Simone (being born and raised in Pisa), was well versed on past and current happenings of this beautiful area. His recommendation for a place for lunch could not have been more spot on. It turned out to be the highlight of our 12 day holiday. Simone comes with our highest recommendation and we look forward to using your company services in the near future. Thank you again!

During the day there are several excursions, in search of distant and forgotten worlds, discovering hidden corners of Liguria, and the thousand colors that the sun creates inside the sea caves. We will provide snorkeling masks so that you can fully enjoy this experience. We will see the gulf of the Cinque Terre, and in particular we will pass in front of the beautiful village of Vernazza, which we can admire from the sea in all its splendor. We will dive into the splendid waters of the Marine Protected Area in the 5 Terre Park, accompanied by the grazing flight of seagulls and, with a little luck, by sightings of large cetaceans and dolphins which, like crazy brushes of an equally mad painter, with their games draw surreal figures on an infinite fantasy canvas. For more information and for any discounts you can contact us by searching our website, RosaDeiVentiBoatTours, thank you.

The tour was really great - super interesting stories about Cinque Terre - amazing views and great spots for snorkeling! Really the only thing I would recommend is bring your own water - there was only one half liter bottle for each participant which was ok for our tour since it wasn't too hot, but otherwise it wouldn't have been enough. I definitly can recommend booking this tour - the boat is super clean and the crew extremely friendly! Thanks for this great trip!

Christian helped make our Florence experience memorable! My husband and I traveled throughout Italy with our two young children ( 8 and 5 years old) and they were so excited for their Fiat tour. They were the only kids on the tour but Christian made sure it fun and educational for them. The whole group was inviting and it was great to get to meet people from all around the world! My kids can not wait to travel more and still talk about how awesome the tour was. I highly recommend this tour with or without kids. We were taken to scenic views throughout Tuscany and even had to maneuver through the streets of Florence in a super fun classic Fiat. Everywhere we drove people would stop and wave because of the group of Fiats brought joy to everyone! This was the best tour we took in Italy and when we come back for a visit we are definitely doing it again! (Our tour was pre-covid)

We did a private wine country tour with Francesco in October 2019 (it has taken me entirely too long to write this review). We had a great time with Francesco. He is so personable and was so much fun to spend the day with. Ask him to tell you the story of why there are black roosters on Chianti Classico wine bottles. Francesco is very professional, was able to accommodate a change in plans based on our preferences, and delivered top-notch service throughout the day. If (when) we go back to Florence, we will be giving Francesco a call!
