What are people saying about Cinque Terre

Andrea, Jul 2026

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.

Cinque Terre Sunset Cruise with Aperitif from Monterosso

Tracy_D, Jul 2026

The highlight of our trip to Cinque Terre!

Our sunset cruise was, without question, one of the most memorable experiences of our entire Italy trip. With only our family of five and one other family on board, the experience was intimate, relaxed, and never felt crowded. Our guide, Eleonora, shared the history, legends, and unique character of each of the five villages of Cinque Terre, along with recommendations for what to see and do in each one. She also went above and beyond by taking countless family photos for us, allowing us to simply enjoy the moment. Our captain, Gianni (I hope I'm spelling his name correctly!), was incredibly skilled and made us feel completely safe on the water. We own a boat at home, so my husband was thrilled when Gianni invited him to take the helm for a few minutes and shared some of the navigation rules unique to the Ligurian coast. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected highlight. Both Eleonora and Gianni spoke excellent English, were warm, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to enjoy sharing their beautiful coastline with us. The cruise included Prosecco, white wine, limoncello, water, soda, chips, delicious pesto focaccia, and cookies. We stopped twice for swimming, and they provided pool noodles and snorkeling goggles. My husband hadn't even packed a swimsuit, but after seeing how inviting the water was, Gianni happily loaned him a pair of swim trunks so he could join us. That small gesture perfectly captures how accommodating and generous they were throughout the experience. From the breathtaking scenery and swimming in the Ligurian Sea to the incredible hospitality, this was a 10/10 experience. If you're visiting Cinque Terre, don't hesitate—book this cruise. It was worth every euro and will be one of our favorite memories for years to come.

stress free experience in the cinque terre

stress free experience, totally beats taking transit or a large coach. you load up in the Mercedes van early in the morning and your guide handles the rest. once you arrive in the region its fairly self guided with the only caveat being a predetermined meet point and time. our guide, Giancarlo was wonderful and I would 100% recommend this to anyone who wants a stress free travel experience.

Katherine_S, Jul 2026

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)

The sunset boat ride through Cinque Terre was an unforgettable experience! Seeing all five towns from the water at sunset was absolutely breathtaking.

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!

From Florence: Cinque Terre & Pisa Day Trip

Melissa_G, Jun 2026

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.

Cinque Terre Sunset Tour by Boat

Bella_M, Jun 2026

An unforgettable sunset cruise

Everything about this experience was great. The initial communication, the personalized email message, and the meet-and-greet were all excellent. The information shared by our captain (I'm terrible with names, but I'm pretty sure it was Franco) made the trip even more enjoyable. He even dropped us off in Monterosso, where we were staying, which saved us a train ride back. The drinks were flowing throughout the cruise, and although it was a small group of only eight people, everyone was friendly, having a great time, and enjoying getting to know one another. I highly recommend this company and this experience. In my opinion, if you don't do a sunset cruise, you miss so much of what makes this beautiful part of the world so special. Thanks to everyone involved—we had a blast and took some amazing photos that will last a lifetime!

Great day exploring Cinque Terre!

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.
