A truly wonderful trip to beautiful Cinque Terre.
May 2022
My two friends and I had an absolutely wonderful day in Cinque Terre. It was one of my favorite days of my trip to Italy. Freddie was our guide and he was wonderful! He knows so much about so many things--pointing out the edible plants, talking about each town and what made them special, giving good recommendations for lunch, etc. He was also very customer oriented--checking in to make sure we were doing well and getting what we wanted out of the trip. I really appreciated that because I had been concerned that we were in for a grueling day of hiking in the heat. But Freddie made it all very manageable. I highly recommend this trip and Freddie. Giovanni was our driver and he was also terrific. At the end of the day, Freddie and Giovanni went out of their way to drop off some of the tour group closer to their hotel so they didn't need to double back--great customer service.

Cinque Terre, beautiful by the eye, made even more so by our guide.
May 2022
My wife and I recently honeymooned in Florence and were blessed to have an experience in Cinque Terre. Our guide Freddy made it even more so, his knowledge was vast but his hospitality was exceptional, and in a way, we felt like a friend was guiding us. If you had a question, Freddy had answers, and not just pertaining to the Cinque Terre region, he recommended us to several excellent eateries in Florence and great places to hang out during our stay. If Freddy wasn't answering questions or giving facts, he was checking on everyone in our group which accounted for 6, us included. He inquired about how much time we wanted to spend in each town? If the walking was ok? We even had a bump trying to contact our bank and Freddy offered his phone to make the call. He made lunch reservations for us, recommended the local white wine (exceptional), and overall made the Cinque Terre experience that much more special. Julian, our driver was also very knowledgable as well and truly kind, Freddy and Julian made the best team. If we are ever able to experience Florence again we will definitely be looking into ANY tour that Freddy and Julian can be a part of.

Great day in Cinque Terre!
Great tour to Cinque Terre - Freddy was a great guide! He gave us interesting facts on all the cities along the way to Cinque Terre. He was knowledgeable, personable and extremely organized. He easily moved us from one town to the next with a good amount of free time too! On his recommendation, we had a wonderful lunch at a restaurant with a great view and fantastic food and wine! On the way back, he gave us recommendations for restaurants etc. based on our requests. He was the perfect guide! Also, a big shout out to Julian - our wonderful driver! Would definitely recommend this tour!

Beauty, good food, and the best tour guide we could ask for!
An amazing trip with so much beauty, good food and the best tour guide.
Freddy was very knowledgeable and passionate about both Cinque Terre and Florence. He shared loads of facts about the places we were passing through and was open to answering all of our questions. He helped us find the best food & gelato, and knows the best spots to catch the train & boat so we would get the best experience without other tours getting in the way of our own.
We highly recommend anyone considering this trip to go for it. The beauty of the towns alone should be convincing enough. But do it with a tour guide who knows what they’re doing and will help you have the best possible experience in those 10 hours that your there.

Cinque tierre excursion from Florence
May 2022 • Friends
Boat trip was good. The whole trip seemed a little rushed. Too long in Monterossa over 2 hours and no time at all in Vernazza. Would have preferred lunch in Vernazza. Most didn't get breakfast as early start so long morning without a break. Very knowledgeable guide. A little too much information at times.

Best guide in Florence

Freddie provided the best tour we’ve had thus far in Florence. He was clear, articulate, full of knowledge and a wonderful guide. He’s so much fun that we would love to have him on every tour as our guide and friend.

Perfect day trip- lovely small group tour!
May 2022 • Couples
Freddy was fantastic with so much knowledge and history of the area. Giovanni provided transportation in a lovely, clean and Fast! Van. The day was perfectly arranged with the best of the towns visited and time to shop eat and walk on the beach.

We had the best (freshest!) seared tuna we've ever had after taking Freddy's advise on where to eat. He was also right about the best gelato shop and convinced the owner to open early just for us!

Loved it!
Freddy was an amazing tour guide. He has great energy and an amazing backstory. He showed us multiple small towns on the way to Manarola, ensured we had at least 15-20 min of free time both there and Vernazza. He also introduced us to some incredible gelato flavors in Vernazza. We spent 2.5 hours in Monterosso that were perfect for a leisurely water-side lunch, time to dip our feet in the water and of course, time for souvenir shopping. We wanted to try the local olives and Freddy even pointed out places that previous guests of tours had enjoyed. Our driver Tomasso was fantastic as well; maneuvered through some crazy traffic. 100% take this tour. You won’t regret it! It shows you time in three of the major five lands and gives you a good amount of free time in the last one.

Best guided tour!
Mar 2022 • Couples
My friend had booked the tour for us, I was not too excited about it. But it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. The Cinque Terre were everything described in the ad, we loved the little town of Manarola Vernazza, and had a delicious lunch in Monterosso. But the best was our guide! Freddy was knowledgeable, fun, courteous and flexible.... He made the experience a memory to last for years to come.
Make sure you ask for him when you book the tour, he makes the day very special.
Thanks Freddy!
