Our trip was excellent. Great guide, very informative and the agenda and transportation was excellent. Had plenty of time at each location we visited. Great value for the experience. We did take public transportation, however it was very well organized so again great value. Tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and well worth the amount paid.

I was really surprised at a few things…no free tickets to enter the cathedral in Pisa were reserved - when we arrived the first available was over a hour after we had left. Also surprised with 72mm of rain forecasted the tour would go on. I realize you can’t control the weather but we continued on even though the tour company knew the businesses would be closed due to weather warnings. The guide was excellent in trying to keep us informed by letting us know to buy lunch in Pisa and also checking on the weather reports. We were able to get the pictures and see the scenery but not really experience the towns and their specialties - fried fish or focaccia.

It was a great way to get to see a little of 3 of the 5 towns with all the transportation set up. Jean Francois did a great job at keeping everyone together and organized. Would love to come back to swim when the weather permits. Thank you Jean Francois!
