Dear Kim, thank you for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure having you as guests.
The tour to Cinque Terre was beautiful. Our tour guide, Emilia was excellent. She contacted us a couple of days before our tour to confirm our appointment at the hotel. As we were staying in La Spezia for a couple of nights, she recommended us to visit Porto Venere and sent us train and ferry schedules. She is very knowledgeable and scheduled the tour in a way to avoid the big crowds. She took us to a restaurant which we all enjoy it very much and the time together flew by fast.
