We had the best local tour guide who expertly guided us on and off the trains so we could visit 3 of the 5 villages. We had a wonderful “taste” of limoncello and a great recommendation for lunch! This area is just stunning!!
Excellent.

We saw three villages - as advertised - and these were all quite different. There was time to spend exploring each village - and have refreshments as needed. Obviously you have the chance top then go back to see more. Our guide Lisa was a good communicator. We only had a small group so that made things easier - not sure what the case would be with 20 or so in the group.
Wonderful experience of Chique Terre

The day started and ended with perfect weather! As we walked through the Center City with Beatrice, our lovely and informative tour guide, we learned about the upcoming Villages we were about to tour and also learned about the history of the area. Each of the 3 Villages we toured were special and unique in their own way. The limoncino was the best we had tasted during our full stay in Italy. We bought 3 liters to take back to the US …it was that good! Young Beatrice did an outstanding job leading and guiding us through Cinque Terre. This tour is highly recommended! Ciao!
