We had Nicola as our driver and Sarah was our guide once we got to cinque Terre. They were both excellent! We were on a Disney cruise and Livorno was our last stop. We have 4 teens and thought they would appreciate a break from touring cities, buildings and museums. It was a great choice! The day was very relaxing and the villages couldn’t have been more perfect. We opted to only walk through 2 villages since we had limited time. We started in Manarola and spent a good amount of time there. It was absolutely beautiful and a highlight of our trip. We then took the ferry to Monterosso al mare. This enabled us to view the villages from the water. Once in Monterosso al mare, we had just enough time to sit and eat lunch. After lunch we took the train (very easy and clean and safe) back to our driver. Sarah stayed with us the entire time until we were back with our driver, who then drove us back to the ship in Livorno. It was seamless. We never had to worry about where we were going or stress about the time. Nicola and Sarah did that for us. Pisa was not necessary a part of our tour, but Nicola took a different route back to the shop up ensure we were able to see the leaning tower! He was also great about making sure we had plenty of bathroom stops. It was a great day!
