Nice day with an excellent guide! - The ability to visit 2. sites was appreciated. La Spezia, which we saw quickly on arrival, Manarola and Monterosso. The boat trip added a few more from the sea. We have had a great day, even if it was a long excursion, and the weather helping with wonderful sunshine! Just a note: it is unfortunate that, besides the nice geography of these villages, all there is to see are restaurants and boutiques.

You don’t want to miss this! - Sara is a very knowledgeable guide, and she gave us lots of tips on where to eat and shop. The trip went very smoothly. I especially enjoyed her commentary while on the boat ride around Lake Como. Bellagio was a beautiful town as well!

Best way to enjoy Cinque Terre if you’re time short - Very well organised tour allowing you to enjoy the best of Cinque Terre by bus, train and boat. Free time is sufficient to absorb the atmosphere of the villages of Manarola and Monterosso.

2 Villages and great views - We enjoyed the trip very much - great variety in a fully packed day - bus, train and boat ride - time in 2 villages and a stop on the bus each way for comfort. Would recommend.

big problem on tour - My problems were with the local tour provider, Zaniviaggi. Twice, they failed to respond to my messages that dealt with 2 problems re. my tour. Directions from Viator was that you should send messages to local tour provider on the Viator app which I did. One of these problems was major & almost ended up with me missing in Monterosso the gathering spot to take the train back to bus pickup. Our tour guide had not given out her phone number so I could call her to get info about the correct spot. My only option was to contact the tour operator via the messaging application and they did not respond. Suggest that in the future, tour guide gives out her phone number so folks can contact her in case of a similar problem or Viator shares the phone number of the local tour guide provider company.

Cinque Terre - Sadly the weather out a major damper on the tour and day. You can’t help that and not Viator’s fault. I feel the communication with your tours needs to be better. This is in all aspects…before, during, after. Very often we have no idea what is going on

Cinque Terri. Zero fun - This was one of the worst tours I've ever taken. We were taken to tourist traps that were way overcrowded. The scenery was beautiful, but you had squeeze by like a NYC subway car. The tour guide was around but not very talkative. My recommendation is forget the tour and just go to LaSpezia on your own (by car or train). Not really worth the ferry than a train ride. When we got around to lunch was really the only time we heard tour guide. Not sure if he was getting commission on lunches or maybe even owned part of establishment. So to make the day a total loss we had to take a train to bus. The train was delayed about 20 min. And then when we walked Over to get bus it wasn't there. It broke down and we had to wait another 90 minutes for another bus. Luckily we took our all our stuff with us. Some people left their belongings on original bus. Another headache Listen stay way from this one. Not worth it
