Leanne_D, Jul 2026

CT highlight

This was a highlight of our trip! The boat was clean and spacious with a full group of 10, everyone still had plenty of room to spread out. Ester was a wonderful captain. Rocco was fantastic, making sure drinks were full and graciously taking photos of each group at every town. The highlight was the two swimming stops and of course the magnificent sunset behind Monterosso. Don’t hesitate to book! This tour, boat and hospitality far exceeded the day trip with did with a different company! Bravo and grazie!

Great Tour, Lots if Walking

Diana was our tour guide and she was incredible. Diana made the tour so “tourist friendly.” Meeting points we easy to find. Diana also even suggested a lunch spot for us and we asked her if she wanted to eat with us. She even translated the menu and ordered for us to ease any stress. Be prepared, this is A LOT of walking both up and down hill. I cannot express - be prepared to walk.

Cinque Terre Sunset Boat Tour Experience

Vanessa_B, Jul 2026

Absolutely MAGIC 💖

Our trip to Italy came with a few unexpected challenges, and if I’m honest, I left some days feeling discouraged. But this boat ride was everything I didn’t know my heart needed. From the moment we stepped aboard, Mateo and his assistant were incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. The conversation was effortless, the vibes were perfect, and they truly cared about giving everyone the best experience possible. What meant the most was how they read the moment. Instead of rushing us, they let us stay in the water longer because they could see everyone was enjoying it. It never felt like they were watching the clock. It felt like they were creating memories. Then came the ride back. The sun slowly dipped below the horizon, the sea turned to gold, and our own music played in the background. It was one of the most magical sunsets I’ve ever experienced. I literally had tears in my eyes. Thank you, Mateo, for creating a memory my kids and I will carry with us forever. I truly cannot recommend this experience enough. Some moments become part of your story, and this was one of them. 🤍🇮🇹🌅

Highly recommended!!

This was an awesome tour! Just enough time to take a plunge in this incredible blue water, see some small fish, view all 5. terres and try some local snacks. Mattia and the captain could not have been more hospitable and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. So informative and fun. Very memorable.

Can’t imagine a better way to see cinque terre

Wonderful!! Perfect amount of time to see the villages from the water and take a swim with snorkels. The guides were helpful and informative and the snacks and drinks were a perfect complement to the afternoon. The only negative was that it was difficult to find the correct boat in the port- luckily we saw the sea breeze tshirts on the skipper or otherwise we would have not been able to locate the boat (no sea breeze sign)

Beautiful Cinque Terre

Fantastic trip around Cinque Terre with our hosts Daniela and captain Alberto. From the moment we stepped onboard we were thoroughly spoilt! Explanations given of each town visited was great, food and drinks were great and stopping for swims in crystal clear water was wonderful. Three hours went by so quickly. Would highly recommend this trip!

Beautiful Italian coastal towns

My daughter and I took this tour during a recent visit to Italy. It was well worth the time in order to see another beautiful part of Italy. We took a very comfortable bus ride and train ride to see Vernazza and Monterosso. We had time in each town to explore a little bit. On our way home we stopped in Pisa. Our tour guide, Tabata, was great! She explained everything, gave us history, was very personable and friendly, and genuinely seemed to enjoy her job. We had a great time and are glad for the experience.

Jacob was the best tour guide!

The second stop has the best beaches if you’re going to swim. You only have an hour though. It was a beautiful experience but very crowded. The tour was worth the money if you have a good tour guide who can explain the sites on the 2 1/2 hour drive to the first town.

He guided us to all of the villages of Cinque Terrre by walking from one village to another as well as the train and the ferry. We loved experiencing all aspects and made it an adventure! Highly recommend!

Best Way to Spend the Evening in 5terre!

Incredible views you can only see from the water. It was a long tour, but no surprises and it was worth the money. The boat wasn’t overcrowded, there was a nice selection of beverages, and pro tip: when you get the option to go swimming in the gorgeous turquoise water… say yes!

Pesto Class and Wine Tasting in Vernazza, Cinque Terre

Amanda_C, Jun 2026

Wine and Pesto - a great combination

Vernazza is such a quaint town. Cute shops. Going to the tasting/pesto making class at the end of the road is the perfect end to the visit. The wines paired well with the pesto. Learning how to make the pesto makes you truly appreciate what goes into having excellent pesto. The instructions were easy to understand and it was a fun afternoon with new friends and family.

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.
