We chose the transfer-only option, and it was quite pleasant. The guide explained all the details about each villa along the way, and it was very informative even though we weren't part of the tour. In the end, we had no trouble finding the meeting point and were able to return to Florence on the same bus.

In my opinion its not worth the money. With a little research and by buying train tickets to La Spezia and to the other towns online you'll be able to get the same experience for much less the price. You could also skip the lunch option as it was too simple and not enough.Overall the experience was good, had no problem with the meeting points, set by the tour guide, which was really kind and understanding.
