A Dream Come True
It was a dream of mine to go to Consue Terre. This tour with our amazing guide, Marta was superb from the minute our group of 5 got in the beautiful and comfortable large three row van. Marta was so knowledgeable and eloquent as she described all of the sights along the route. Once in Cinque Terre we visited the first quintessential town of Riomaggiore with its stunning church that truly takes your breath away. Marta gave us the choice of taking the boat or train to the next two villages and we were ever so thrilled we chose the boat from which the views are astonishingly beautiful. Marta planned this so well we truly got to experience this UNESCO World Heritage Site in the most rewarding way. I can’t say enough about the assistance and cooperation we got from Diana at BellaItalia Tours . I pulled this together with two couples I met through the Cruise Critic Message Board for our ship and it all came together to make my dream come true.

Not what I expected- I would suggest better options
I just wanted to inform you that this excursion was more like a taxi service with pick up and drop off to the Pisa and Cinque Terre only with instructions on how to view sites. At the coat of $1200 for 5 people, we were dropped off at Pisa for 40 mins and then 1 spot in Cinque Terra were we had to pay for a train ride per 5 towns (Approx 32.50 per person). Our driver was a wonderful person but I feel I got ripped off for a taxi service. I wish I had a guide or train tickets included. This was honestly a tourist trap for a very high priced taxi service. In my opinion. I won't book thru Viator again. I rather book thru the cruise line or negotiate a private taxi.
Response from the operator: Hi Violetta, we are happy you found our driver a wonderful person and you received the tour as per the tour included. A tour called "Cinque Terre and Pisa independent private tour '' means you will be independent in Cinque Terre and Pisa and your driver will explain everything during the drive there isn't a guide with you in the villages. Price you are talking about Canadian dollars, which it is a different price, and for the train/boats, the price change based which it's your itinerary and if you want visit all the villages or just some of them but as the title, the tour is independence so just you can decide it. Otherwise we try to do the best everytime and increase our service.

Great tour of the Cinque Terre, Florence and Pisa
We started with tour of the Pucci residence in Florence followed by stops in Vernazza and Monterosso (both in the Cinque Terre). Originally we were going to take a boat to the Cinque Terre, but the sea was rough that day so we took the train from La Spezia. Our tour guide, Elisabetta Ferrero, was really great and she shared with us a lot of insider information as we traveled through Tuscany in our 7 passenger mini-van. The trip finished up with a visit to the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa and the world's most famous tower. I highly recommend taking a tour with Elisabetta and BellItalia!

Perfectly Planned Trip to Cinque Terre
We really enjoyed our tour today of Cinque Terre with Marta. She did a nice job of telling us what we were seeing, and keeping us informed about the tour logistics. We took a train to the first town, and then three boat rides to the other towns. The towns we saw were vibrant and fun. We’ve been in Italy for a week and this was our favorite tour.

Amazing Cinque Terre experience with a world-class guide!
After a lengthy, exhausting vacation, we had chosen to spend our final day in Cinque Terre. We knew it was going to be a lot of walking, but we didn't want to miss it. We scheduled this tour online and had great communication from the company prior to arrival. When we got there, we were greeted by Libera, who immediately connected with us. For the initial 90-minute drive, Libera shared a wealth of interesting facts about the area and got us excited about the upcoming experience. Her enthusiasm and love for what she does is very apparent, and she kept us laughing and on track at each point. She and our driver Stephano even surprised us at the end with a memory we will never forget. Experiencing Cinque Terre is amazing in itself; to have such a happy, enthusiastic, energetic and knowledgeable guide made it the best experience of our trip - by far! Thank you!!

+

+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

When is the best time to visit Livorno?
+

How many days do you need in Livorno?
+
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?
+
