Great guide and great views - Sandri did a great job on our day trip to Cinque Terre! We had a large group with several languages, and he made sure to wait for everyone and say everything in all the languages. He was very friendly and very clear about where to meet after our free time and when. It was a very positive experience!

Excellent tour - Cinque Terre is a beautiful place to visit. A one-day tour was sufficient for a quick visit to 2-3 of the villages. Our tour guide, Malita, took great care of us, and the driver, Gionos, demonstrated excellent driving skills—quick and safe.
