Cinque Terre Perfection
My husband, 20 year-old son, and I did the Cinque Terre tour with Lorenzo. We had a fabulous day. Lorenzo went out of his way to make our trip special. He modified our itinerary to customize our trip (this included trying lemon juice, adding an extra walk by the ocean, and focusing on pesto for lunch!). We walked at a comfortable pace and he was always checking in to make sure we were happy. This tour was such a wonderful way to see a new place on our own schedule. I highly recommend this tour company and would absolutely book another trip with them.
Response from the operator: You are the best!!! Thank you very very much! Your words are so incredible for us. We are so happy to have incredible guests like you! Lorenzo is a star, a fantastic guide! Thank you so much and see you again for more Out of the Box Florence adventures!

All fun! No stress!
Best decision booking our trip to Cinque Terre with Stefano! He met us in Florence early AM and drove our family of five to/from in a comfortable van. His narrative along the way gave us the history of what we were passing and going to see. All the ferry tickets were handled and lunch at an incredible restaurant with amazing food and view was reserved ahead of time. What would have been a very stressful day navigating (there was a train strike!) turned into a fantastic adventure that our teenagers said was a favorite party of our trip! Would highly recommend and book again!
Response from the operator: Fantastic!!!! We are so proud to hear this! Meltin gold for us!!! Our guides are navigated professionists with years of experiences and they know how to handle stressful situation! Your support to a local small business is incredible!!!! Thank you thank you Thank you. We love you!

Stefano is an outstanding guide for custom private tours in Tuscany.
We spent 2 days with Stefano - one in Cinque Terra and another in Chianti for wine tasting and lunch. He is very charismatic and engaging. He listens to what you would like to do, makes some suggestions and then you both decide. He cares about the culture and history of the region and is eager to share it. He loves to talk and laugh. It’s a lot of fun to be with him! He’s an avid runner and bicyclist and is also a certified wine sommelier. He drives a very nice 7 passenger van - very comfortable, and he’s an excellent driver!! We hope to spend more time with him in the future!
Response from the operator: WOOOW!!! Thank you so much for your words and your incredible support to OUT OF THE BOX FLORENCE our little company!!! We work so hard to deliver holidays that everyone dreams! Thank you so much and come back soon! OUT OF THE BOX FLORENCE

An Unforgettably Brilliant Day
Yesterday was a day I'd been dreaming of for literally decades and actively planning for 9 months. I'm fairly well travelled and not normally a tour taker, but I wanted to treat my adult children, one girlfriend and my boyfriend to a special day where everything was taken care of for us. I would normally balk at the expense and just figure out how to do it myself, but I'm so glad I pulled the trigger on this tour. It was one of those rare days where my high expectations were dramatically exceeded. Communication with our guide leading up to the tour was seamless. Stefano was prompt in responding and willing to make changes to the trip if necessary to accommodate various needs. He was ready and waiting with an immaculate van on our tour date and adeptly navigated extra traffic due to Tour de France preparation. He was friendly and chatty along the way, pointing out various sights and feeding our curiosity about all we passed. The tour itself was nothing short of magnificent, but certainly not for the faint of heart. It was physically demanding, but we had been well prepared for exactly how long and how difficult in terms of elevation gained and lost. The stairs are no joke, but with that said, every step is worth the effort with the views given in return. Each village has its own unique charm and the well worn path in between is equally enchanting. Our guide shared just the right amount of information along the way, giving us time to rest but keeping us on schedule without pressure. The highlight of the day was a lunch at a family owned restaurant featuring fish caught that morning and a rotating menu determined by the catch. The setting was rustic and ethereal, the service warm and impeccable and the food was nothing short of remarkable. We were a party of 5 and each of us felt it was one of the top 3 meals in our life just based on the food. In combination with the setting, the effort in getting there and the overall experience, it was the best meal of our lives. With healthy carbs coursing through our veins, the rest of the hike was entirely manageable and we blazed easily to Vernazza for a perfectly refreshing and well deserved dip in the Mediterranean. This was like swimming in a coffee table photo book, but better. Colorful boats, frolicking children, clear deep teal water, bright buoys, throngs of happy tourists, lively village and ancient structures to gaze at from the cool clean water. Pure heaven. We grabbed gelato before boarding the boat to return us to our starting point. Every penny spent was worth it. All we had to do was show up. Everything else was taken care of and we were in our own beautiful bubble all day. Our guide felt like a member of our family by the end of the day. We loved watching him greet vendors and friends throughout the day, a clear sign of his knowledge and love for the area. He spoke of the many people he has trained along the route and I'd trust anyone under his tutelage. This tour was a slam dunk day we will never forget - one of the top 5 experiences of my 54 years on the planet.
Response from the operator: OMG!!! WE LOVE YOU!!! YOUR WORDS ARE MELTING GOLD FOR US!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! We are working so hard to make things happening and when someone like you noticed this, give us the energy to continue and deliver more and more EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! It was out total pleasure !!!! thank you

Unique, Genuine, Unforgettable Experiences
We had 2 private customized tours in April2024 and both days proved to be once in a life time experiences! Our first trip was to Cinque Terre with our amazing local tour guide who handled all the transportation logistics, including our hike from Vernazza to Corniglia with a stop for lunch at a restaurant with an unforgettable view and fresh grilled seafood! Unforgettable! Our second tour was off the beaten path through the countryside for private wine tasting and honey producer tours, followed by a trip to Vallombrosa for some trekking and exploring the monastery and forest. We were surrounded by beautiful landscapes on our drive , and then greeted by such gracious wine and honey hosts. Truly wonderful experiences as they each shared their insight with great love and pride in their work. That’s what made it so special. The views and scenery on both tours were so breathtaking, and was made extra special thanks to our phenomenal tour guide. Thank you for sharing so many stories and history as learned a lot and laughed just as much. Your genuine passion for love of nature of this precious Tuscan land is obvious and infectious. So to Out of the Box, THANK YOU AGAIN for creating such special unique memories, and showing your love of Italy to us. We will be back and would love to have you guide us for a third tour someday!!
Response from the operator: Thank you !!!!!!!! What wonderful words to hear. And what adventures we had! We here at Out of the Box Florence cannot wait to have you back for a third tour, you have to leave to come back!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Guided Hiking Cinque Terre Day From Florence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Private Guided Hiking Cinque Terre Day From Florence cost?
+
Prices start at $400 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 Private Guided Hiking Cinque Terre Day From Florence take?
+
Plan for about 10.5 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 Private Guided Hiking Cinque Terre Day From Florence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Private Guided Hiking Cinque Terre Day From Florence?
+
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 Private Guided Hiking Cinque Terre Day From Florence suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Guided Hiking Cinque Terre Day From Florence?
+
Around 2 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 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Guided Hiking Cinque Terre Day From Florence 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.
