Truly our favorite experience of our 16-day Italy vacation
From the moment Sara greeted us the experience was 5 stars. She was extremely friendly and attentive throughout our trip, offering local insights while also plenty of quiet time for us to just take everything in. We stopped a couple times to get into the water and swim in the beautiful Ligurian Sea in a depth of roughly 30 meters yet you could easily see to the bottom. Groups of fish swam around us making for a fun experience. We're in Italy for 16 days and this is undoubtedly our favorite experience. Kudos to Sara, too. She was a phenomenal captain!

Sign up for this tour!!!
This was one of our favorite nights during our trip to Italy! The crew were friendly and they made the most delicious dinner with several courses including dessert and drinks. We were also able to swim and snorkel. It was a beautiful, delicious, and relaxing night on the water. I would recommend this specific boat tour to anyone!

Absolutely Recommend!
We booked this tour for our honeymoon trip to Cinque Terre and we could not be happier! To our surprise when we arrived we found out we were the only people who booked the tour. Our boat for 15 comfortably fit the two of us and the crew :) It was magical! The food was beyond belief with focaccia upon arrival and 4 courses when we sat down to lunch. The captain was extremely knowledgeable of all of the areas having grown up in Vernazza and the first mate was excellent as well swimming with us and bartending. It is well worth the money, it is the best way to see all the towns, and it was a gorgeous boat day with options to swim/lounge/learn.

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!

Perfection!
This experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Not only was the scenery incredible, but our guide was kind, knowledgeable, interesting, and patient with our 3 kids (5,7, and 9 years). The snacks were delicious, and having a bathroom in a boat with little ones is worth it.

This was a highlight on...
This was a highlight on our trip!! Denise easily showed my family of novice riders how to control each horse based on their personality. The ride was peaceful and the views were stunning. She kept our group together and shared much of her life and experiences with us. We could not have had a better time!! Thanks Denise!!

Perfect day in Cinque Terre
My partner and I were exploring Italy on our honeymoon and decided to take a day trip to Cinque Terre to view the picturesque seaside community. The agency expertly handled booking our train tickets from Milan to Monterosso (and back), and Laura, our guide, was truly fantastic. She was fluent in English, Italian, Spanish, and French (very easy to understand), and most importantly, she knew every detail of the towns we were visiting, from which stairways and trails to take, to the best shops for local food and art, to the best places for photographs. She was able to speak of the history and culture of the towns expertly, and to give us an appreciation for how the land has influenced agriculture, architecture, infrastructure, and tourism over the centuries. We were able to visit 4 of the 5 towns (via the train and the ferry), all except Corniglia (which would have required quite a climb and extra time). Laura truly helped us to maximize the value of our limited time in Cinque Terre (the weather was also perfect) and left us wanting to come back to experience more. Three cheers for our wonderful guide--this experience was worth the cost.

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.
