Good tour. Poor organization.
The tour itself was satisfactory, but the total logistics around it were a disaster. Upon arrival at the designated meeting point ten minutes early, there were no tour guides in Orange jackets as advertised. There are several tours gathering at the location so lots of people everywhere. We went to every tour guide we could find asking for guidance. We finally found one young lady who offered to make a call on our behalf. Ultimately, she was able to send us to a tour guide already on a bus (with no orange jacket) who said we were indeed on her list but she didn’t understand why as her group were all 20ish and we were late 60’s. She said she didn’t think we would have a good day with her group so she talked to a man who had previously told us he had no idea where we belonged and we joined his group. Again, the tour was okay. We enjoyed ourselves. When part of his group was preparing to take a brief boat ride, he said that he didn’t have tickets for us because we hadn’t booked that tour. Ultimately, he got us on the boat. I have no idea what that was about. After the final train segment, the guide disappeared leaving about 15 passengers wondering where to go. Again, after 15 minutes or so, everyone got rounded up and headed for (home). Again, the tour itself was okay. We did enjoy ourselves. It was a lot more walking than we thought, but we are in decent shape so 15,000 steps didn’t kill us. Hopefully, the tour company will get their logistical problems worked out.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you ultimately enjoyed the tour. We’re very sorry to hear about the confusion at the meeting point. Our staff was present at the designated location and wearing orange Smart Trip shirts to help guests locate the group easily. However, we understand how overwhelming it can be at a busy gathering spot with several tour companies present. We’re grateful that you were eventually connected with one of our team members, and we appreciate your patience in that process. As for the group assignment, we’d like to clarify that Smart Trip is specifically designed for travelers aged 18–35, which is clearly stated in the tour description. When our team noticed that your preferences might not align with the typical group dynamic, they offered the opportunity to join the tour run by our parent company, Ciao Florence, which caters to a broader audience. This option was given to ensure your comfort and enjoyment, and ultimately, the decision to switch groups was entirely yours. I apologize for any confusion that may have occurred and hope that you enjoyed Cinque Terre nonetheless. Thank you again for your feedback!

Book this Cinque Terre tour!
This was our best day in Italy. Hands down. We are a family of 5 with three teens. We wanted to see Cinque Terre in one day without having to figure out travel. This trip made it easy. The bus ride was comfortable. And I cannot say enough about our tour guides, Emma and Ana. They were very enthusiastic and kept the whole group on moving from village to village on the trains. They had food and drink suggestions for each stop. Best part - jumping off the rocks into the harbor in Manarola. Monterosso had a great beach and highly recommend renting beach loungers. Also recommend the fried calamari cones, pesto focaccia and the drink buckets. I would recommend this trip for families with teens/college kids. And I would highly recommend Emma and Ava as best tour guides ever.
Response from the operator: Hi Mark! Thanks for booking with us and taking the time to leave a review! It is great to hear that you and your family enjoyed the trip and that Emma & Ava made your day even more unforgettable. Thanks again for booking with us, and we wish you a lovely rest of your vacation in Italy!

It was such a great trip, everything was planned perfectly, we were able to do more than expected and the guides were always helping us, giving us tips, and taking us to the best places. So grateful to experience this trip with my friends!

Exceptional day trip
All the towns are beautiful but Gabrielle made it much more with sharing the details of the area and sights to see. We had lunch and met people from several countries and enjoyed conversations. Took a swim with plenty of time. Must do trip.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cinque Terre Day Trips From Florence Sunshine and Discovery: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Cinque Terre Day Trips From Florence Sunshine and Discovery cost?
+
Prices start at $115 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cinque Terre Day Trips From Florence Sunshine and Discovery take?
+
Plan for about 12.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Cinque Terre Day Trips From Florence Sunshine and Discovery worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cinque Terre Day Trips From Florence Sunshine and Discovery?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cinque Terre Day Trips From Florence Sunshine and Discovery suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cinque Terre Day Trips From Florence Sunshine and Discovery?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 12.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cinque Terre Day Trips From Florence Sunshine and Discovery start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
