Bus & Train to Cinque Terra & Pisa

4.00The experience was very nice . Loved Cinque Terra and Pisa. The guide Nathan was knowledgeable but was a little cheesy. Instead of so many jokes it would have been better to give more history of the area or about the little towns we passed. Viator should better describe how we were arriving to Cinque Terra. e.g. I wasn't aware that we were going there by train.
The tour was informative...

1.00Total waste! All CityTours did was have someone near the entrance to give us our tickets. We still waited in line for 25 minutes. Never saw the City Tours person after she put us in line. Paid 130 euros for 64 euro tickets. Do not book this!
The art of a master.
