Cinque Terre by Ferry - This was our second time visiting the villages but our first time coming by ferry. We loved it! Our guide was a sweetheart in making sure our 88 year old dad could manage each village we visited. She made great suggestions for unique foods to sample including her favorite gelato shop and flavor. She shared fun stories about each area and things to do from a locals perspective. What a great day!

A highlight of our vacation - Cinque Terre was beautiful! Our guide, Luigi, was the best! His English was very good, he was informed on all the villages, and shared his personal recommendations or experiences. Our driver got us there and back safely, handed out water bottles, and was friendly (I regret not remembering his name). We went in November, and did not have to deal with the crowds; however, many shops were closed. We were still able to enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the restaurants that was still open in off-season. I would recommend this tour, specifically with this duo, to anyone!

Cinque Terra - Private tour luxury - Private driver and tour guide for full day trip from the cruise ship docked in Livorno to Cinque Terre (4 passengers). What a great day - exactly as planned. Our driver Massimo was waiting for us on the wharf. Massimo was very friendly and a fountain of knowledge. We picked up our tour guide Romina along the way and were dropped off in the first town along the Cinque Terre coast. We spent the day travelling by ferry from town to town. Romina was fantastic - she handled all the ferry ticketing, filled us in on the local knowledge and gave us plenty of free time to immerse ourselves into the local culture. We were met in the last town by our driver Massimo who returned us back to our a ship. A private tour is definitely the way to go. Thanks to Massimo, Romina and all BellaItaliatour staff for helping plan our tour and ensuring we had a fantastic day. Keep up the good work.

Professional Tour Company, great to work with. - We had a wonderful day with our driver Stefano, and our guide Luca. We found the booking process to be easy and efficient and they were always responsive to my emails. Stefano was waiting in the port o time to pick us up. He did a great job driving approximately 90 minutes to Cinque Terre. He was so friendly and easy to talk to. Luca was waiting on our arrival and did a super job guiding us through 4 of the 5 villages - a lot for one day! He knew the hidden spots and best photo spots. He knew many people in the villages and there were lots of friendly greetings along the way. He managed our train and boat tickets with ease which made it so much easier for us to move about. This is especially important for people who are not confident to do this themselves. We really appreciated a good use of the time to help us see the most that we could in one day. When our time at the villages ended, Stefano was waiting for us to make the drive back to the ship. He even had water bottles waiting in our seats. We are so happy with the whole experience and would definitely recommend BellaItalia for your tours. Grazie!

Cinque Terre Towns by Ferry! - It wasn’t the greatest weather day, but we had a wonderful visit at 4 of the Cinque Terre towns by ferry. We travelled from Livorno in a comfortable mini van. Timing was always spot on and Luigi made sure we were front of the line on the ferries. It is a very busy tour, but even though it was my 3rd time visiting the towns, so worth it!!! Luigi and his trainee and driver did a fabulous job. Remember to check their “Small Group” shore excursions menu if you’re just a couple. Thank you BellaItalia!

Cinque Terre plus Pisa private tour - We were on the Norwegian Epic & stopped in Livorno. We were a group of 14, ranging in age from 16 to 80. Emilia & Luigi were our private guides for the day. We had two comfortable minivans. We first went to Pisa to see the tower, and then went to Cinque Terre. It was amazing - well-organized & fun. Emilia handled 5 teenagers with ease! The drivers were great as well. I loved being able to customize it to exactly what we wanted, with their input. The office staff was great as well. We really enjoyed our tour.

Breathtaking views - Elizabeta gave us a magical day touring the towns of Cinque Terre. Stefano drove us safely from the port up into the mountains. The views were absolutely amazing! We will go back & visit with her every time we find ourselves in Italy!

Cinque Terre Tour - We pre booked this tour with another 2 couples for our 1 day in Liverno from our Mediterranean Cruise. Our driver Danielle & our guide Rosella were waiting upon our arrival. Rosella was really great. Very friendly, knowledgeable & accommodating. She took care of getting all our train/ferry tickets and showing us the main attractions & pointing us in the direction to explore some on our own. Would definitely recommend this to maximize you time & see the main attractions.
