    Great walking holiday around the trekking routes on the Lugerian coast/villages especially Portifino peninsula and Cinque Terre. Nico our guide is wonderful! Accommodations at Moneglia as our home base is very strategic and very good!

    We were extremely happy with the entire trip and our guide Adrian, who was very knowledgeable, professional and supportive. We found having walking poles very useful

    What an unforgettable experience! I won’t lie—it was physically challenging, but the reward was more than worth it. The views were absolutely breathtaking! Our guide, Agustine, was incredibly kind and patient (especially when I fell behind the group a few times). He was always calm and encouraging, truly embodying a “Buddha state of mind.” Nothing seemed to faze him—such an amazing person! My friend and I stayed at The Bediere Chalet, and all I can say is—wow. The location was stunning, and the chalet itself felt like a dream home for the week, with the most spectacular views. Our hosts, Sandro and Violetta, were just fantastic—so full of life, warmth, and humor. Their delicious cooking and cheerful, cheeky spirits made every day even more special. If you asked me right now, “Would you do this tour again?” — my answer would be a resounding yes. I walked away with such clarity of mind, a refreshed perspective on my priorities, and truly some of the best memories. If you're someone like me—often buried in work and in need of a change of pace—this experience is exactly what you need
