Challenging Hike - We did the tour on July 10. The 3 tour guides were excellent: knowledgeable , professional and very friendly. The walk is a bit more than challenging: its very steep, irregular terrain, and the summer heat can really take its toll on the participants. You should have good cardiovascular condition, and no injuries on lower extremities. Carry plenty of water, wear adequate hiking shoes and clothing. The towns are pretty but packed with tourists, so be aware that it’s going to be crowded and noisy. Its worth it, but be patient. 😉

Tour with the best water view - We loved all the amazing views, the lunch view, the bar stop along the 1.8 mile hike, the beaches and the water was so gorgeous! Our guide Stefano, and Tony were absolutely fantastic, they went above and beyond. One of you family members had a nose bleed and they help out with the situation. Once we arrived at our destination and were on our own for a bit, the tour company walkabout called to check how my sister was doing. Stefano and Tony always made sure we were well informed on the meeting point and the time to meet. They were absolutely amazing and were recommended this tour with these two guys to everyone ❤️

Incredible Day! - This was an amazing way to see Cinque Terre! Our guides Anna, Giancarlo, and Davide were fantastic! We went on Sunday when the trains were on strike and they navigated everything beautifully- we only had one train that caused a slight problem and they figured it out quickly. The lunch was great with a choice of starter (fish, meat, or salad), and pasta with a choice of sauce. Wine/beer were extra. The hike is a hike… a lot of up and down and uneven terrain. It isn’t dangerous, but you should be in decent shape and your knees should be able to handle the many flights of stairs (my app counted 80). There is an option to skip the hike, so you can opt out if you get to the 3rd town and don’t feel up for it. Really impressed at how they kept everyone together between the bus, trains, and exploring! Well done!

A fun, rigorous day exploring enchanting seaside towns. - A thoughtfully constructed day taking travelers to charming seaside towns teeming with local flavor. Tour guides Gina, Ado and Naomi were excellent with details on what to expect on each stop, what to sample and where, and had even scouted spectacular views for photos. The optional hike is for real - an hour plus walking/climbing from one town to the next. My group of three enjoyed the experience and amazing verandas it provided. The alternative ride provided is an important option for those less interested in the physical aspect of the day.

Stunning day trip to Cinque Terre - Wow! We had an incredible day full of adventure in Cinque Terre. Our tour guide, Giancarlo, was incredible! He made the day a huge success and was very knowledgeable about the history of each town. Ana and David were wonderful guides as well. The hike was absolutely beautiful and worth the trek. We also enjoyed our lunch and having free time in each town. We made unforgettable memories and this tour has been a highlight of our trip. 10/10 recommend exploring Cinque Terre with Walkabout Tours!

Terrific! (sensitive knees note) - Fantastic! Ginevra was our guide and she was knowledgeable, helpful and fun all day. I enjoyed it thoroughly and highly recommend it. For those with temperamental knees…after lunch we had the choice of an hour long hike or taking the train. I chose train and am glad I did after talking with my friend. If you choose the hike, my friend said it has tall steps at times, more than a foot vertical difference and there’s not always a guardrail. With that in mind, it’s similar to walking on the uneven stone streets in Florence with some vertical since all the towns are built into hillsides. I was fine with everything I did. All in all, a wonderful gorgeous day! And even taking the train, I got plenty of exercise. Well worth the time and money. Thank you, Ginevra, Aldo, and Naomi!
