Great tour and amazing experience - Luigi (driver) and Mario (guide) were excellent. Mario knows very well the place and its complexity. He managed a group of 40 people by bus, train, and boat safely. Provided great information and key facts about the places we visited. Walked with us calmly and showed us around as if he was a true local. Definitely recommend taking the tour with this company and Definitely with Mario.

A beautiful day in Cinque Terre - It was a beautiful day and we fully enjoyed our time in Cinque Terre. The bus did stop both ways for coffee and bathroom breaks. Unfortunately the guide's microphone did not work, but he managed to gather us together and explained the story of Cinque Terre. The boat ride was very enjoyable.

Excellent day out - On time, good guide, good cruise, perhaps more commentary would be useful. The walks were good, maybe more time to take photos, but everyone in the group were ontime. Restaurant for lunch was excellent, Il Casello.

Despite the bad morning... - Despite the bad morning weather, trip was great and we got to see the areas we were supposed to see. Mario, the guide, was great. We had him for the Portofino trip also and he is very informative and was able to control the group well.

The tour guide on bus... - The tour guide on bus ride over is very loud on bus speakers talking the whole time in multiple languages. Bring earphones if this bothers you. She was very knowledgeable and the towns were spectacular. I wish we had more time in each spot.

Awesome tour! - Alessandro was a good tour guide and made things fun. The tour was very entertaining and of course, my favorite was Lake Como. Nothing compares to that. Go local. Try the street food instead of the sponsored restaurant.

It is too far from Milan.... - It is too far from Milan. Most of the time are sitting on the bus n hop on the boat. Time spend on the land very little.

Great Tour, but Veronica -Tour Guide HORRIBLE!!! - First of all, I have been to over 33 countries, have used Viator and various tour companies globally, so I know how tours should operate. Here's the deal on this BAD experience. 1. I have never been so disrespected. There was an issue with the booking. My confirmation and booking numbers indicated a tour for 2 people. Veronica, the horrible guide, said she only had a reservation for 1. There was a line to board the bus and I wanted to put my bag down in my seat on the bus temporarily until we sorted this tech issue out. She was YELLING at me not to get on the bus. I told her I was just going to put my bag down and come right out to figure out the discrepancy. She created drama and an embarrassing scene. I. as well as the other folks on the tour, couldn't believe how unprofessional she was. I went to the ATM and paid for the other ticket and I will contact Viator about this as well. The main issue was how poorly Veronica handled the situation. 2. Terrible Tour Guide!!! She did not give much history, she didn't wait for anyone! We couldn't find her umbrella a few times, a woman had problems with her knee-she dismissed her-totally not compassionate. At the end of the day-she needs to be fired. 3. The trip is 3 Hours. Going, you have a reasonable 15 minute bathroom break. On the way back, it is NON STOP! For many women, this is not doable. I asked Veronica what happens if there is an emergency situation, and she ignored my question and just kept telling me to go before I boarded the bus! She just didn't care! The company should indicate that there are no stops on the return in the description to manage expectations! 4. I always tip! NO ONE tipped Veronica and the majority of the group said she was the worst tour guide ever. Someone commented that the company gives GREAT tours-but that Veronica was a bad apple. This company better take heed of who they hire!
