Beautiful coastal towns, great your guide and driver. The trip included a tour bus, trains and boat ride.

The tour operator, Star...

Barry_P, Aug 2025

The tour operator, Star Europe, Tours, never showed or communicated with us about that. We arrived at the departure site early with specific instructions and checked with the other tour operators who were there. Our names were not on their list. I had the Viator representative on the phone, but they were not able to add us to the other tour operators lists because they were full. We did receive a refund. It was our last day of vacation and the experience was very disappointing.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We are truly sorry for the disappointment on your last day in Florence. After checking our system, we did not receive your booking through our API, which unfortunately caused the issue. By the time it came to us, the tour was already fully booked. We understand how frustrating this must have been and regret that we could not accommodate you. A refund has already been issued, and we will review the process with Viator to prevent such situations in the future.
