Amazing trip in a private vehicle that was perfect for our family with kids aged 10 and 13. We were picked up on time with some great information all along the trip about the history and sights. We had a fantastic lunch where we had a reservation placed for us and a wonderful visit to Pisa on the return. I would highly recommend families consider this option vs doing it yourself. Really good value for money and the owner of the company was the guide which was a nice touch.

Andrea, our guide (and owner of the tour co.) was phenomenal, weaving us in and out of each town with ease. We had a 8 seat van for the four of us, with Andrea and his driver Mario in the front, and our family of four in the back two rows. Cinque Terre was amazing, we had plenty of time in 3 towns, ate at a Michelin star restaurant in Monterosso, and checked out some unique walkways that only a guide or local would know. We took pics in a sea side cave, took a boat ferry from Manorola to Monterosso, and had no stress trying to figure anything out bc our guide had it covered. Andrea even took all our pictures, so we didn’t have to hand our phones to anyone we didn’t know. Lots of history was explained, of the Cinque Terre area, Pisa, Florence, and more. This was one of our favorite days in a 18 day trip across Italy. The leaning tower was interesting, but glad most of our time was budgeted for Cinque Terre. This was so much better than big bud tour to Pompei we took earlier!

We enjoyed the trip and although the weather was questionable at times we were able to see quite a bit. Our driver was very accommodating with our schedule. There were 3 of us and we picked up our tour guide along the way. Please be advised cars in Italy are small and 3 of us in the backseat was rather tight. To be fair our driver did ask if it was fine for all of us to be in the car and I did not think it would be a issue so we managed. Our driver was also very accommodating with our pick up location as we were staying outside of Florence and appreciated being picked up at our hotel. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and kept us on track so we could fit everything into our tour. He navigated the train for us so that we did not have to stand in long lines nor stand on the train. He also would ask us what parts we would like to see the most and how much walking we wanted to do. I would recommend this tour to others.
