Booking via Viator website ok. Viator subs out to local tour company Eurolink Wordwide. Problems getting train tickets Rome/Florence/Pisa. Communication with Viator just passes off to Eurolink. Communication with Eurolink poor and stressful. Local tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly though. Wouldn't recommend this tour-not enough time for all in this booking and stress generated by communication issues not desirable. You can do better elsewhere... (and disregard the standard boilerplate response from Viator/Eurolink sure to follow-just pass on this- trust me )
