very dissatisfied
Our boat trip was canceled do go weather but it was sunny and perfect all day. We Arrived at the meeting place and waited an hour before the boat captain emailed me back saying the canceled the night before!
Operator response
We are sorry you were dissatisfied that you could not attend our tour.
Our boat trip was cancelled due to dangerous sea conditions of 2-3 meter waves (6-9 feet)
Would you really have preffered us to risk your safety ??
You were also advised the day before that the tour would be cancelled.
You were also refunded in full.
Not sure why for you have given us a very negative review of a tour you didn't attend .
Safety of guests is our priority.

So Beautiful!
We took the Viator tour to see Cinque Terre. The guides picked us up not far from our hotel in Lucca and drove the small group to La Spezia in a very comfortable van. From there we used ferries to get to three of the different towns. While we left fairly early from Lucca and returned about 6:30 in the evening, there wasn't too much time at each of the locations. Lunch at the last spot basically took the entire stay, however, it was well worth it... totally delicious with a view of the beach and sea. We did manage to get some fabulous pictures at each of the towns. It's as pretty as portrayed on the postcards!
