Very Long day not worth time

2.00The tour company and guide was extremely good. We rated it low because of the total experience. We left the meeting place before 7am , got back at about 930pm and only stopped at one of the towns for about 2 hrs. We took the ferry both ways and not the train as advertised. There was a train strike in Italy for that day, but the local trains were still running so not sure why we didn't take it and stop at the second town. The sights from the water was pretty, but the ferry ride was extremely long going to the Town because we stopped at almost every port to let people on and off. The water was rough, so that was an experience. The ferry back from Monterosso only made one stop , which was much quicker . Overall we didn't think being in one town for 2 hours and seeing the other towns from the water was worth a 14+ hour long day. Again tour guide was very good and company did a good job.
Well organised tour....

5.00Well organised tour. Mario the tour guide was very knowledgeable and amiable. Pablo the bus driver was a very good and safe driver. We had 2 hours in Monterosso which gave us plenty of time to explore. We enjoyed the walk down the hill to Manarola to catch the train. Very interesting tour.
Highly recommend!

5.00You get to see two village towns, monterroso and manarolo. The boat is contingent on weather in which case you will transfer by train. The coach was comfortable and well air conditioned.
Great tour well worth time
