Great trip enjoy Cinque Terre - An almost full bus arrived from Florence on time. We travelled to Levantine where we then boarded a train to Manarola. After spending time walking through the streets at our own pace, we reboarded the train to Monterosso. We time for lunch there, again cruising the streets of the old town, after which, we boarded a boat to Vernazza. We had sufficient time to look around the town, to take the wonderful architecture and scenery. Boarding the train again for a trip to Riomaggiore, the last town in the 5, but we didn’t visit the town of Cornelia. At Riomaggiore, we walked up,the streets to the wonderful church high above the railway station, giving marvellous views over the old town and coast. On the way down, we took a short cut back to the station by lift, sore legs from lots of wonderful scenery walking. The only thing we would have liked, was a longer trip on the boat, but otherwise, thoroughly enjoyed our trip, the tour leader and driver did their jobs very well. Thank you for a great day Viator.

An adventure of coaches, trains and a boat - When I was in this area, I knew I could not miss out on this trip, from the smooth booking online to the actual day, I was totally invested.
We had two guides one Spanish speaker the other English speaker and they where truly amazing, they where extremely thorough in their communication.
They guided a large group very effectively and had a great sense of humour
We had the lunch option which was of a very high standard - would highly recommend

Marvelous Cinque Terre. - Cinque Terre is a wonderful trip. You can expend a day in the five towns. Easy to go from Montecatini by train to La Spezia where you can a pass for transportation and the entrance to the National Park.

Exploring the different... - Exploring the different towns what’s the highlight. I have two complaints I was charged approximately $130 for the tour without lunch from Montecatiini. Another traveler was charged $100 with lunch from Florence. Why the difference? Also, something must be done with the long walk to get back to the bus after the tour.

Very disappointed - We were looking forward to this trip as part of our honeymoon. The bus was crowded and uncomfortable. We spent less than one hour in most of the pop towns. There was a significant amount of time spent waiting in the train stations vs seeing the sights. I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone.

BEWARE WHEN BOOKING FROM MONTECATINI TERME - The title of their tour is misleading. Nowhere in their description did they state that you can only be picked up in Montecatini Terme if it reached a certain minimum number of customers. They did not want to pick me up because they said I was the only one who booked in Montecatini Terme, and suggested I go to their pickup in Florence instead! I suggest that they put the disclaimer and have the customer contact them first before confirming payment. Or better yet, DON'T put the tour under Montecatini Terme. As it is, not only do I have the hassle of finding a last-minute replacement tour, even if I get a refund I am already penalized with the foreign exchange differential. I recommend to avoid this tour company when booking from Montecatini Terme.
