This was absolutely amazing. The tour was so perfect because your train tickets were taken care of so you could skip the long line, you knew where to get on and off, and when you did get off you heard a small history of the town and certain buildings then you had ample time to explore the villages on your own. My tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and so sweet and helpful, I loved her. You could tell she loved her job. And the limonccino tasting was great because it’s a unique experience.

If you are familiar with public transportation, you probably don't need this tour, as the train system is very simple and efficient. Despite that, we do not regret taking this tour. Sonia was patient and gave us good information about the different cities. The Limoncino tasting is unnecessary in my opinion. We had an hour in Riomaggiore, 2 hours in Monterosso and an hour in Vernazza and I thought it was plenty of time to explore, takes some photos and grab some food.

The excursion was amazing, we did the both (because we enjoy so much the first that we decided to retake the one for sunset) It was amazing, the capitain his so cool !!! Absolutely stunning

Lara was our tour guide and shared more info on each stop and the best places to go and get the best photos. Enough time at each stop. Great value than a cruise guided excursion.

Awesome trip! Wish we had more time in the first city.
