Beautiful Experience - Veronica was terrific in making suggestions for meals and sights. She showed us 3 villages and we took a boat and saw Corniglia en route. We sampled Limoncino on the tour, she told us where to go on our own in the last village (Riomaggiore), and which train to take back to the port. We had trouble finding her in time for the meet up after getting off the ship but navigated the train station on our own and she found us in the first visit to Manarola. If you do the excursion as part of your cruise, just allow time on each end to meet up with her at the start in La Spezia and train delays getting back to La Spezia from any of the villages. Cinque Terre was one of the highlights of our Mediterranean cruise. The sights, history, people, food - all so very special!

A nice day seeing Cinque Terre. - We got to see some beautiful villages along the coast of Cinque Terre with our guide, Veronica. Veronica was a great guide. She spoke English well. She was adaptable to the desires of the group. We used the train and took one ferry ride. The train/national park pass and the ferry ride were not included in the tour price. I thought our tour was going to be a private tour for our group of 5, but it was a small group of about 10-12. There were other people from our cruise ship in the group. I thought the price was a little high for the tour. But I didn't find a better option. I'm glad we did the tour.

Great small group experience. - Our guide was knowledgeable of the area. She knew her way around the ferry and train systems which made for relaxing experience. She knew the back alleys of the towns and left us plenty of free time to explore. Flexible itinerary. Great experience.

Cinque terre - Be careful to read the details of the excursion as you will have to pay in addition the train & boat transport around 40€ Beautiful discovery our Guide introduces us to 3 villages and takes us to the most beautiful viewpoints. Thank you for this beautiful visit Veronica:)

Cinque Terre tour by train - We were 15 minutes late because we couldn’t get a cab from the cruise terminal (no one could we were all stuck!) and she left without us. We found out later she was still at the train station at the same time we got there, but never reached out to us. Poor communications… it took us 2hrs to meet up with the tour. It was an exasperating day!
