Glad we booked this trip, our guide Gina gave clear instructions on where to meet, kept our group moving along the day showing the best vantage points of where to take photos, shop etc. She had a lovely personality Be prepared for a big day of walking, we took the train option, but there is still lots of steps and up and down hills and reclines Be prepared We opted for the lunch option offered by Walkabout, which I would recommend You have different options and the food was very good. The village where lunch is allocated is very small and has v limited alternative options. Toilet stops are difficult, even though the ticket includes free toilet access in the stations of the National Park, when we tried to access them they were closed Recommend at the last stop you buy an overpriced drink at the bar or cafe to access a toilet, it’s a long trip home with no toilet stops, we had people on our bus who were caught short. Overall this is a perfect way to access and explore the CinqueTerre region
