Perfect for families with young children!
This three hour boat tour was exactly what our family needed to see the five towns from the water. Our 8 year old loved when we jumped off the boat to swim and our aperitivo onboard. The captain was so kind and location was easy to find. He gave us history lessons on the area and how it has changed. What a beautiful evening!

Great tour for family with teens
This trip is not for people who have difficulty walking or who tire easily. The drive is comfortable and Andrea the tour guide was excellent! He told us about all the little towns we passed on our way there and the history of the area. Cinque Terre is beautiful. Lots of good photo opportunities. Probably didn’t need 50 minutes in Pisa.

This was great and I am...
This was great and I am so glad we did it. It really is amazing to experience Cinque Terra by the water and see and learn about the villages. We are all so glad we did it!!!! Sunset made it extra special, but any time would be good. The pit stop to swim was so fun!!! Our captain l, Diego, was fun and engaging.

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.

Highly recommend
What an amazing day. Veronica was great, informative, and so helpful. This was so much better than trying to see everything on our own. She helped us navigate the trains and the ferry. We were a small group of 12 to 15 people. She kept us all together and directed us where we needed to be. Myself and one of the members of our party have food allergies. She pointed us in the right direction for a nice lunch where they accommodated our issues.

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.

Cinque Terra private boat tour with Simone
Stunning landscapes viewed from the Sea, narrated by an excellent, informative and entertaining captain. Simone was warm and polite from the start, he provided lots of information and helped make a very memorable experience. He brought along delicious focaccia bread and fresh, and outstanding homemade pesto made by his mother - it was fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the sea with Simone and would certainly recommend this tour. Grazie mille, Simone.

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.
