Guide was good but it was constant on and off trains and little time spent at each town / village . Very busy multilingual trip obviously very popular but too big a group . Would have been better if the group was smaller . Pretty place though and the guide was very helpful

Viator added nothing to this tour, if you can call it that. Our "guide" offered no commentary on the way there. His "guidance" at each stop was minimal if any and inaccurate many times. We could have done this on our own for less.

I specifically booked this tour for my 18-year-old as it was an accompanied tour and the description was clear about the guide accompanying the group and giving precise instructions on the bus trip. My daughter and six others were basically abandoned at the train station midway through the trip. I can’t imagine what she would’ve done if she hadn’t been with adults who were also left behind because the tour guide failed to give proper instructions. While my youngster is shy. The other adults in the group were not and told the guide in no uncertain terms that he had not only stressed out, but had failed to follow the basic protocols of keeping the group together. Instead, he failed to tell everyone that they were getting off of the third stop so half of the group in one car of the train got off and the other half of the group ended up at the last station three stops down the line because they were not given clear instructions. The fact that seven people ended up somewhere completely different than the rest of the group tells you it wasn’t one person that misunderstood instructions. It was three couples and my daughter. I specifically chose a guided tour so that my youngster would feel at ease. When she called me in a panic halfway through the morning, it’s stressed the entire family out . I would not recommend “Ciao Italy” for any tours
