Great day trip!

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a great tour! Tanya picked us up in Montecatini Terme right on time. We had a bit of a drive to meet up with others in Lucca. But on the way, Tanya pointed out some of the scenery we were passing, such as the Carrera Marble Quarry and Factory (they offer a tour to that as well, wish I'd known!). Anyway, we proceeded on to Cinque Terre, with more commentary in our van about the villages, the wine production, history, etc. When we got out of the van at the parking lot, Valerie was our tour guide. She led us up, down and all around three villages, on the boat, the train, and didn't lose anyone. She is a skilled cat-herder, as well as super knowledgeable about the history of the villages, restaurants, and how to get from point a to point b to point c and back again, despite the rough sea and the return boat being canceled because of that.

Neat little villages!

We took this tour from Montecatini Terme, and it was about 1.5 hours to get to the coast. Tanya picked up us and another couple in town, when and where she was supposed to. We then drove to Lucca to pick up more people for the tour. Tanya gave us a nice description of what we were passing while driving to CT (such as the Cararra Marble factory/quarry), and also a good history of the area when we got there. Valerie joined us in the parking lot with a van full of her own people, and she was our tour guide for the rest of the day. Valerie was wonderful. How she managed to keep 20 people together through walking the steep hills (up and down!), a boat ride, the train ride, bathroom breaks, lunch, shopping, is beyond me. She has the patience of a saint because some of those people were just ... well, I'll leave it at that! She gave great lunch recommendations too! If you are considering this trip, know that there are steep hills that you have to walk down, then back up. Some people on our tour seemed surprised at this, even though it is in the description. They don't rush you back up the hill at the end of the day, but you do have to be able to do it in a decent amount of time so we can all get back to our hotels/B&Bs. Even though it rained for the morning and was cloudy for the rest of the day, it was a really nice tour. Make sure you try the local white wine when you have lunch!

An amazing experience! Lots of walking & climbing (two thousand feet down and back up) but the scenery was awesome! Our guide Valery did an outstanding job describing every step of our journey with passion!

Our tour leader was so helpful and informative and her positive attitude meant that we got the most out of our trip to this ver

Brilliant day out to this very picturesque area. It's VERY busy so if you can go on a weekend that would be best because the cruise people apparently only visit on weekdays

A wonderful day visiting Cinque Terre

Our tour guide Valerie was fantastic! Have a local tour us around the beautiful villages with so much knowledge was wonderful. She also answered so many questions and gave excellent suggestions for places to eat and visit.
