Don’t miss this tour - Such a memorable and fun day. Be prepared for a full itinerary. I added the hike and the lunch and am glad I did both. Our guides, Victoria and Ado were perfect. The five towns are very crowded, so be patient and don’t expect to linger. Highly recommended.

Wouldn't change a thing! - This was such a memorable day! The tour was so well organized, active, with breathtaking views and our guide Ginevra (Gini) was just phenomenal and added a lot to this beautiful experience! She pointed us to all the best photo and food spots, gave us numerous options and interesting info but also free time, all while being incredibly entertaining, funny and just effortlessly charming. You can tell she really loves her job, we actually got a bit teary eyed when saying goodbye to her. Thank you for the lovely memories!

Amazing time, thanks Ado!! - What an incredible experience!!!! We are sooo happy we did this tour. Ado was an amazing guide as we explored the towns of Cinque Terre. The local lunch included was delicious, the hike was challenging but had absolutely incredible views, the lemon slushie half way through the hike was sooo good, and we had the best gelato in Vernazza to cap off the hike! Highly highly recommend, such an amazing experience.

Great hike and experience - Our guides, Valentina and Claudia were excellent! There was so much to see that we were on the go all day. That may be my only complaint is that we weren’t able to spend enough time in any of the villages. However, we did get to see everything and do the hike!

No words to describe it. Awesome! - This was a very long day but worth all of the miles I put on my feet! Even if you don’t take the optional hike, there is a lot of walking involved. This is not for people who have problems with their feet or ankles. But the views are amazing and even the train rides between the fishing villages was fun to do. Valentina was not only knowledgeable about the area but very patient and never left people behind. She did an amazing job and I would suggest that if you can take this tour then make sure you take it!

Really fun day trip with amazing views - Great way to see the 5 villages. Our guide Victoria did a great job getting us from town to town and giving tips on what to do and see in the towns. The hike was amazing and the views were stunning. Do the hike if you can!

Cinque Terre - beautiful views but be prepared for crowds - Our guides Tony and John Luca were fantastic!!! The views were beautiful and absolutely breathtaking, even though the trains were late and we were packed in like sardines - they tried to make the best of it. They kept the tour fun and entertaining and made what might have been a frustrating time more bearable. We had a great time and would definitely do it again!

Not exactly what we had hoped for - Although we had fantastic guide Vittoria, travelling to the 5 Cinque Terre towns was far too rushed, not allowing sufficient time for a descent walkabout in each town. Additionally, if taking the free shuttle bus to the city centre, we were not informed of the probable lengthy wait (almost 1 hour). This shortened our prepaid lunch to 17 minutes! Clarity is a must! Also, if a visit to the bathroom is required, be prepared for another 40 minute wait time. Again, this limits any sightseeing to mere minutes, if any at all. This excursion would be best revised to visiting maybe 3 of the 5 towns and allowing for better quality tourist experiences. For 250 euros, our experience was significantly less than what we expected.

don't use WalkAbout Tours - Beautiful villages! But Not too happy with WalkAbout Tours! I've been a travel agent for 40 years and I've traveled the world. The meeting point was near Santa Maria Novella train station. After we all assembled there (30 people) we had to walk 1 mile to the bus. Claudia are so called guide-held up her pole with a flag and never looked back see if the group was with her. She crossed large intersections and was oblivious to her group. I think this tour operator needs to train their guides better and have the bus near the meeting point.
