Did not live up to expectations
The tour advertised a boat tour with wine and food…the boat tour was short and the guide not very engaging or informative. The food was non existent. The only part that saved this from being a total disaster was the charming wine maker…we spent a lot of time with him, climbing up to his vineyard, drinking many of his wines, hearing family stories.
Overall the tour was not as advertised but we are thankful the wine maker saved the day!
Operator response
Michelle,
Your review is disingenuous and rude.
Lets start with the fact that you arrived at the wrong town for the tour, and I waited 30 minutes for you to eventually arrive.
I'm a licensed tCinque Terre tour Guide and enjoy sharing cultural / historical information FOR GUESTS WHO ARE INTERESTED.
Your group of 4 were not iINTERESTED AT ALL .
Your say the 'The only part that saved this from being a total disaster was the charming wine maker’
I’m not sure if you understood the concept of the tour, but apart from the stunning boat trip, meeting the wine maker IS ACTUALLY THE EXPERIENCE OF THE TOUR THAT WE ORGANISE.
For any future guests that are thinking or booking I’m enclosing the two previous reviews which are very positive about the engagement and information I offer to guests .

Viator review: Cinque Terre Wine Tasting and Boat Trip
Highlight of our trip! Our guide, Gary, was very personable and knowledgable, feeding us tidbits of interesting history of Cinque Terre. The ride in our own personal boat was so enjoyable, and we found that you are missing out if you don't experience Cinque Terre from the sea...absolutely stunning.

<p>Amazing! I have to be honest, we were a little skeptical about taking this tour at first because it is new on the site and there was only one review at the time of booking. But I am so glad we took the leap anyway! Having a private tour in this area is really so special. We got to be on the boat privately, then stop in Vernazza for an EXCELLENT and private wine tasting with delicious snacks too. Gary was a very friendly and helpful guide, we were so lucky to spend the day with him. Overall perfect day!</p>

The ride in our own personal boat was so enjoyable, and we found that you are missing out if you don't experience Cinque Terre from the sea...absolutely stunning. The location of the wine tasting was in a fabulous location hidden high above the sea, ascending beautiful old stone steps to an open patio. The view will take your breath away, as does the whole experience with the sommelier and his chosen wines. We were a family with grown children. Would highly recommend!
