From Florence: Cinque Terre Day Trip

Nothing- we arrived with 5 minutes to spare. We were told to wait to be checked in & then told that we were too late & had missed our tour. Company took no responsibility and insisted there was a 'no cancellation policy'. We didn't cancel. We did as instructed and waited!!! Refund of only 20% and only credit with the agency- not cash!! A total scam. We are furious! Will never use or recommend this company!! Appalling 😠😖

In my opinion its not worth the money. With a little research and by buying train tickets to La Spezia and to the other towns online you'll be able to get the same experience for much less the price. You could also skip the lunch option as it was too simple and not enough.Overall the experience was good, had no problem with the meeting points, set by the tour guide, which was really kind and understanding.

The trip and timing were very well organized between bus, train and villages. Our guide Cecily was very attentive and interesting, translating into English and Spanish for the whole group. On the other hand, the heat was very hot and tiring, and walking was difficult because of the hilltop villages, so all we did was go up and down in the sun. Remember to wear good shoes, protect yourself from the sun and take flip-flops for swimming, as the beach is full of sharp-edged pebbles. To be done over 2 days for less fatigue and real enjoyment!

If you have the time for a day trip from Florence - please do consider this.. Italy is awesome and we are so glad we did this trip as it was a great insights to the costal towns of Italy in this region. The tour is very well paced.. Yes you get up early.. but then you can catch up the nap on your bus journey which is very comfortable. Our guide was just awesome ensuring that we have a clear view of how the day is going to look like.. and she helped us with all the onboarding and offboarding of the trains.. its a super fun activity as you visit great small towns.. use all the modes of transport except flight and there is help all along the way. Very professional.. very dependable.. This tour has been the highlight among all the day trips we took.. Cant recommend enough!!

Our tour guide Martha was great. She made us feel welcome and relaxed whilst being very clear about timings and meeting points. The only minor points where that you advertised that the bus has WiFi. Although my phone picked up the bus WiFi address, when the driver was asked for the password we were told it was out of order? Whilst I appreciate that I couldn't expect 5 star cuisine for the lunch it could have been a little more imaginative. Overall a very pleasant day in a stunningly beautiful part of the world.
