We had a great time on our tour. It was quite a long day, but we’re happy we got to see both Pisa and 3 of the 5 famous towns in Cinque Terre. In Pisa, we also opted to get 10 am tickets to climb the tower, and that was definitely worth it for us. The view was spectacular, and it was such a unique experience to climb a building like that. Unfortunately the weather stopped cooperating one we got to Cinque Terre (steady light rain with off and on periods of heavier rain). It was also the slow season, so quite a few place were closed. But neither of those things were our guide’s fault. Kristine was fantastic and made sure everyone in the group knew exactly how much time we had, where to meet, and what trains to get on. Our only disappointment (other than the weather) was that a lot of the tour felt a bit rushed. It might’ve been nicer to go to a single Cinque Terre town so we had longer to spend there, but at the same time, we knew what we were signing up for with a trip that encompassed so much!
