Wonderful day in cinque terre
Loredana was a wonderful guide and ensured the tour was optimised for my wife and I. It is a long day given 3hr train trip each way from Milan, but definitely worth it.
Having a personal guide compared to group tours is a much better way to see these beautiful towns and small streets. Insight knowledge, accommodating your interests, etc... certainly made the day extra special.
Thank you again Loredana for making this such a special day.

Great tour highly recommended
Simone was great! A wonderful and cheerful guide. He provided his mom’s (Laura) pesto which is the best we ever had!
I would highly recommend this tour. We had unfortunate weather that hindered our ability to go out of the port of poets. Communication about the conditions was timely, accurate and honest.

The Best Views
This was a fantastic experience and we enjoyed every minute of it. Mateo and William were excellent navigators and guides. The weather turned a bit early while we were out and they went above and beyond to keep us safe and to keep the boat as controlled as possible. The lunch and wine was also excellent. Would recommend this for anyone in the area.

Beautiful day with unforgettable memories!
Veronica made this day the perfect balance of carefree, relaxing, and fun. She took the worry out of traveling in a foreign country and it was like having a friend with you that was an expert. She provided interesting information about the beautiful Cirque Terre towns, excellent recommendations to eat, and free time to explore. It was a lovely day! Thank you so much Veronica!

Cinque Terre - great day trip!
Tour was exactly as advertised - no surprises. The guide was professional, personable, and helpful. Everything went very smoothly. We enjoyed our day in this beautiful area. Very relaxing - much easier than when we did it on our own a few years ago! Highly recommend!!

Really great, relaxing...
Really great, relaxing ride. We were running late and texted the group via Viator. It turned out the boat was also a bit behind (only 10 minutes), but the fact they were responsive was reassuring. Matteo is great tour guide, captain and just a nice welcoming human. He has several facts for every town and really tries to engage each individual (if they're open to it). The boat is also quite spacious and well kept. Don't forget to bring a swimsuit + towel since they take you to a nice cove with super clear water (I forgot or didn't read), especially nice on a hot day as the tour gets started. They bring plenty of beverages and platters of different breads, focaccias which were delicious. After you hit each town, the sunset ride back to Monterosso is quite romantic. Our group had great camaraderie and it's totally family friendly (there was a 2 year old on board with us). There are a lot of boat tours you can sign up for, I would come back to this one.

Friendly and easy. Highly Recommended
This was the best way to see all 5 villages in a relaxed and comfortable setting. The staff were fantastic, the drinks were very welcome and the boat was easy and comfortable. Remember your bathers as you get the chance to have a swim as well. Highly recommended!

Many excursions center around the Mediterranean and include time on the water, whether by private boat, paddleboard, or kayak. On land, you can hike the scenic trails that connect the villages, enjoy local food and wine tastings, or join a small-group walking tour to learn about the region’s history.
