    This was one of the best parts of our 8 day vacation. It was breathtaking. The views were amazing, and the tour guide was INCREDIBLE. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We had one other family in our group and she was flexible with the schedule based on what we wanted to do. It was a tough hike, so wear good shoes! Would recommend this if you're active and want to explore Cinque Terre on a time crunch (we did this as a shore excursion from our cruise).

    Actually, route had a hiking tour canceled because they said the guy was sick but we suspect that the origin of people who signed up. Actually turned out just fine because they asked if they could switch us to the Limoncini tour that visited three out of the five villages in the Cinque Terre. Because if the switch we had to return earlier than the rest of our group, and they arranged for us to meet up with another target that actually was on our ship. All in all, we found the guides to be helpful, knowledgeable, and very resilient. We are Visited Riomaggiore, Monterosso in Vernazza. The one thing we would suggest is that if you have difficulty walking a mile, this is not the tour for you as you walk about 30 minutes from where the shuttle in the port dropped you off to the train station and there is still quite a bit of walking on the tour. This is perfect for us, but we noticed others who are older, not quite as fit, struggling a bit.

    We originally booked the hiking tour, but it was cancelled and we were offered this tour. The group was too large, 24 people. Largest she had ever had! It impacted the train and reduced the allotted time in each village. Some of the people were very slow walkers and group was combined with Spanish and English. The tour guide was excellent though,informative, knowledgeable, patient and managed to speak to the group in both languages. This often delayed the group in free time as we had to wait for the talking points of interest to be completed before exploring. We had less than 30 mins in the first village as we arrived too late due to waiting on group to arrive. Overall, I would recommend but these villages are extremely busy with tourists and it would be best to have a few days to explore them.

    a very dangerous activity hiking vertically 400 m in elevation in 35 degree heat. No detail or effort rating given on website to determine fitness suitability. Don’t waster your time. Catch the train from town to town, you will be better off
