Exceptional day
We could not have asked for a better guide than Diana. She guided us with great ease, offering knowledge of a local, and also allowed for ample free time to explore. Cinque Terre in particular was incredible to see, and it was helpful to not have to worry how to get from island to island.

Cinque terre Sun swim and sea
A very pleasant experience to view Cinque terre from the sea. This boat had a maximum capacity of 14 comfortably.
We were around 10.
Lovely crew guys who were sweet and friendly.
They’ve done this 100 times and they do it with care.
It’s about a three hour cruise with a gentle commentary as needed. We stopped for a good snorkel and beautiful waters in the cove.
Then continued with some snacks and wine, beer and Prosecco.
Stopped for a spectacular sunset that will make the hardest feel a teensy bit romantic.

A Day We Won't Forget
Our tour guide, Sonia, was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have asked for anyone better to take us around Cinque Terre. Because that is her hometown we felt like we got an extra special experience. She knew all of the ins and outs of the five towns and was constantly being greeted by locals as we walked around. Everything she recommended (restaurants, wine, gelato, shopping) were 10/10. This was the highlight of our European vacation!

Highly Recommended. Veronica very knowledgeable with Cinque Terre
Very satisfied with our Cinque Terre tour experience. Our guide, Veronica, knows Cinque Terre very well. She is fully capable to agreeably tailor-make (adjust) the tour if weather or other circumstances arise. She assisted with train ticket purchase. Veronica gave narrative of each town and allowed time for self strolling / shopping. The tour pace was sufficient. She led the tour to areas (views) we would not have found touring on our own. Veronica gave very good restaurant and shop recommendations.

Awesome tour, awesome tour guide!
The trip was fantastic, and we were able to see three beautiful villages. Jonathan was a superb tour guide and got us to each location early, which helped us avoid the crowds and make the most of our time. It is a long day with quite a bit of travel and relatively short stops at each destination, but we felt there was enough time to enjoy each one. I would have loved an extra hour in Monterosso swimming in the Mediterranean, and Jonathan said that was an option, but we chose to see all of the villages instead. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and Jonathan’s organization and local knowledge made the day run smoothly.

This tour was the highlight of our entire trip!
This is a must do! My husband and I travel extensively and this was one of the most amazing experiences. Seeing Cinque Terre from the water was magical. Our captain made the experience wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the area and explained the UNESCO designation along with some great history. We got to take fantastic pictures and even swim. We had delicious prosecco and on the way back we played music and our captain joined in to sing. Overall a perfect experience. Don't hesitate to book. So pleased.

Enjoy the amazing views of the Cinque Terre coastline by land and sea.
We really enjoyed our tour of three villages located in the gorgeous Cinque Terre region of Italy. Our tour guide, Veronica was quite knowledgeable and also kind. We discovered and learned about the history highlights of Monterosso, Vernazza and Manarola.

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.
