With limited time in Italy, it’s sometimes hard to decide how much time to have at each place, but I am very thankful that I decided to take a day away from Florence to visit Cinque Terre and Pisa with LET’S ANDIAMO TOURS !
Our driver Eduardo made the experience, seamless! We loved exploring the different lands, and not having to figure out all the “ins and outs” of the transfers.
We enjoyed a lovely lunch in Vernazza while taking in the beauty of the sea. Since we were here in the off-season, we were able to walk along the pathways without fighting crowds, and we had a perfect sunny day to enjoy it. The lands are hilly and some with many stairs so make sure you are prepared with good walking shoes and energy.
Eduardo would walk us to where we needed to be, give us information, handle the train ticket purchases when necessary and let us know where to meet him next. He was so lovely to chat with and was an excellent driver. The van was comfortable and clean, so comfortable at some point I believe someone was having a nap! ;)
At the next stop Pisa, he pulled up right on the street along the backside of where the leaning tower was and let us go off on our own once again. He said to go enjoy and when we were finished he would be in the same spot waiting.
We had decided in the beginning that we would spend a little extra time in the lands and reserve only a small stop in Pisa for some photos and a coffee. It worked out perfectly and we felt like we accomplished everything with perfect time, and our day was a success.
In the end, we were dropped back off at the hotel doorstep. Having Eduardo saved us lots of extra walking and time trying to figure things out on our own. So while we had him for the local knowledge, we were able to enjoy each land on our own and have our own personal experience.
I HIGHLY recommend using Let’s Andiamo Tours for your Italian travels.
