Dates & Prices

Riviera holidays are always good and this trip was no exception. Tony the guide was absolutely great. Always there to help and guide but not intrusive. The hotels were good, the one at Santa Margherita excellent with helpful attentive staff. The excursions were excellent, we were lucky enough to to go to the Cinque Terre by boat on a cloudless blue skied day! Been on three holidays so far with Riviera with no 4 booked for next year. Excellent value for money.
