We booked this trip for 7...

We booked this trip for 7 people but were disappointed that we never got to see Portofino, due to weather. The barge was not running that brings you from the mainland to Portofino. Small buses also did not work. Our tour operator did not have a contingency plan in place for 20 people. It was not acceptable because we are from the US.
