Kissfromitaly Recognized as the Leading Operator for Private Tours in Cinque Terre
Kissfromitaly, a boutique travel company with headquarters in Boston and an operations office in Florence, Italy, has been officially recognized as the leading provider of private tours in Cinque Terre. Specializing exclusively in private travel experiences across Italy, the company has earned Viator’s prestigious Badge of Excellence along with more than 200 five-star reviews across major travel platforms. For American travelers seeking a deeper, more meaningful way to explore Italy, Kissfromitaly has become the go-to expert.
A Mission to Protect Cinque Terre & Elevate the Travel Experience
“We are extremely proud of this accomplishment,” said Andrea Barsotti, Founder of Kissfromitaly. “Our focus on private tours is very intentional — it allows us to offer authentic, personal experiences while helping protect the fragile environment of Cinque Terre. Large group tourism has brought overtourism challenges, harming local communities and diminishing the quality of the visitor experience. We believe there’s a better way to travel.”
What Makes Kissfromitaly’s Cinque Terre Tours Exceptional
Kissfromitaly stands out for its exceptional local guides, warm and deeply knowledgeable experts who bring each village to life. Travelers enjoy flexible, stress-free itineraries, complete with arranged train and boat tickets, plus the highlight of an unforgettable coastal boat ride. With itineraries tailored for couples, families, small groups, cruise guests, and day-trippers, the experience is designed to be the most effortless and personalized way for U.S. travelers to discover Cinque Terre.
The Team Behind the Success
Barsotti credits the company’s growth to its outstanding guides. “Our private guides are the heart of what we do,” he said. “Their passion for Cinque Terre, their deep local knowledge, and their kindness create the kind of personal connections travelers remember for life. Our Travel Leader and coordinator, Loredana, embodies this spirit perfectly — I am deeply grateful for her dedication and the hard work of our entire team.”
