My only recommendation would be to shorten the time in Siena - it seemed over long and made the day very long.”

“Ado and Luca were excellent guides. Ado knows so much about the history of the area and is very passionate about sharing his knowledge with the group. The bus was excellent, very new and comfortable and the driver was excellent; drove very safely. My daughter (21) and I did this tour. The day was packed full with moving from one village to the next, and was a little too busy to try going for a swim but the beauty is incredible and I couldn’t have negotiated trains and sightseeing on our own, so this was a great option! We got it all in!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,593 reviews · 12 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $60

Leave Florence at 7 a.m. for a 12.5-hour trip to Manarola, Monterosso, Vernazza, and Riomaggiore. Your tour leader manages the coach, trains, and optional boat, while you explore independently. Select the lunch option for local street food, and expect steep steps, crowds, and a fast pace.

“The organization and logistics are complicated but brilliantly executed in our case. If you are lucky, you’ll get a guide like John and a bus driver like Mario? Both exceptional professionals. At first stop I could”not hear the instructions, and asked John to repeat them at the next stop which he did from then on. Using his white board which we could photo helped immensely. The company needs to provide portable microphones for the guides, they are not expensive. This is essentially a “guided transportation tour”, not a guided tour. Do not expect any background or history about the stops. Expect crowds of tourists, gobs of restaurants and souvenirs shops,…”
