"As you know our guide was Elizabeth Ferro. She waited for us outside the terminal and we walked to the train station. Elizabeth was great with detailed explanations of the 3 villages and the reasons for where they were. Elizabeth was kind and patient with each of us. We had the best guide we could have dreamed of."
"Margherita was a wealth of information on La Spezia and the coastal villages. Her years of experience and her passion for the country and agriculture are very apparent. Margherita was an excellent guide and I highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed. "

Lovely day in Cinque Terre!
"We had a wonderful day in Cinque Terre. Valeria was very warm, welcoming, enthusiastic and passionate about Cinque Terre and La Spezia. With that same spirit she showed us around, let us taste good food, told us stories about various places we visited and matched the whole experience to our interests and preferences we discussed in advance. Even when we had a slight change of plans last moment which required some flexibility regarding logistics and timing, she is the one who made sure it would be the best experience. And it was! I can recommend making a booking with her! "

Amazing food amd tour guide
"We absolutely loved our tour with Valeria. She took us to local spots with amazing food and vibe. The pesto dish we tried was one of the best pesto’s I’ve ever had. Valeria was friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be around. We hope to see her again when we return to La Spezia. Book her, you won’t be disappointed. "
"We travel often and do private/semi-private tours exclusively and sometimes it feels like we've seen them all in terms of the different styles of guides.
Maggie was absolutely incredible and is hands down the best tour guide we've ever had. She was full of insights about the area that only true locals would know, she did a great job of pacing things, and she was a delight to tour with.
If we could bring Maggie along to be our guide everywhere we travel, we absolutely would!
Thank you so much for the fantastic tour Maggie...you are appreciated!
-Evan and MacKenzie"

Perfect day!
"We loved our tour! We learned so much and saw so much. I highly recommend this tour at the beginning of your stay in the Cinque Terre."
"Had a wonderful and delicious food tour through La Spezia. Valeria was so friendly and knowledgeable about the best places to eat. Enjoyed trying the different regional dishes. Be sure to pay extra for the wine so your tasting experience is complete. We were a group of six and everyone gives Valeria five stars!! And we were all very full after the tour ended. "
"My husband and I did an 11 day Mediterranean cruise, and this tour was the highlight of the entire trip! Not only did we love the absolute charm of Cinque Terre, but Valeria was so knowledgeable and very kind. She was easy talk to, and took us all of the local spots to try the best focaccia, bruschetta, cheeses, wine, and gelato. We would have never known to go these places, without her. It was an absolutely perfect day, and worth every penny!"
