What are people saying about Cinque Terre

Cinque Terre and Pisa Tower Small-Group Day Trip from Florence

Blair_G, Oct 2026

Our tour was amazing!...

Our tour was amazing! David did a beautiful job at navigating between each stop and making sure we were all informed and taken care of. He gave us little tidbits about each location, but also allowed us time to explore on our own, and even gave us a special experience by calling ahead for a lunch reservation and had cold prosecco waiting in the car after a difficult hike up a massive hill! There were 6 people in our tour. There is a bit of walking needed in this tour, and lots of stairs, so just be informed about that if you have mobility concerns. Overall an absolutely lovely day!

Small Group Cinque Terre Day Tour from Florence

Connie_G, Oct 2026

WORTH every penny! Best tour ever!!!

Riccardo was phenomenal as our guide. He was so professional and knowledgeable and gave our group the best day ever. We had 8 (6 of us friends) and we explored Manorola, jumped on Ferry and then we were given a choice of a nice long delicious lunch so we all choose that and had a family style dinner with tons of laughter. So relaxing. He took several pictures for us. It was so amazing.

Fun Day Tour from Florence

Elizabeth and Gio did a great job with our tour today. Note that it is a LARGE group with a double decker bus. They were still available to give recs and help out. I actually had an allergy attack during lunch (not their fault, the lunch restaurant said no nuts in pesto, but it’s just have been cross contamination) and the guides helped us get to the pharmacy and get allergy medication even though it was technically closed today.

Anniversary sunset boat tour in cinque terre

We had an amazing time on the sunset boat tour through Cinque Terre! We cruised past all of the beautiful villages as the sun was setting, making for an absolutely gorgeous ride. Our captain and tour guide were both knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even better. We enjoyed some beer and wine, took in the incredible views, and had a great time with the group. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Cinque Terre!

Breathtaking views, wine, snacks, and friendly hosts

Wonderful tour! Matteo and William are excellent hosts. Plenty of tasty snacks (ours were even vegetarian) and free flowing wine and Prosecco. Beautiful views with a chance to swim in warm weather. Don't be alarmed if the boat arrives a few mins after the meet time, they're coming from Levanto. Sea Breeze has multiple boats as well. Thanks for a really memorable experience, we really enjoyed it!!

Lori_H, Sep 2026

Worth it!

Not knowing the area getting there was a little complicated. What’s app for some reason was showing message sent but not received by me. But once we were in contact with Barbara it was an awesome experience. We learned to make pasta and tiramisu. Both Barbara and Stephen were welcoming and so nice.

Cinque Terre Hybrid Boat Tour from Monterosso

Kerri_D, Sep 2026

Premium Experience

This has been my favorite tour in Italy so far. The boat is beautiful and very comfortable. The captain was great and the guide/hostess was absolutely lovely. We were never empty handed…always a beverage and/or food provided. We had two opportunities to swim, and of course the best views of the five villages. Lots of opportunities for stunning pictures. It was a perfect day and I think it is well worth the price for a premium experience.

Private Tour: Cinque Terre from La Spezia

Sean_H, Sep 2026

Superb Visit to Cinque Terre with awesome tour guide!

Superb tour of this lovely slice of Italy visiting Manarola, Riomaggiore, and Monterosso by boat having been collected at La Spezia. Very well organized and orchestrated tour using public transportation to inclue the train from La Spezia to then be shown and described the unique characteristics of each town. Unhurried and able to enjoy at a well timed pace. Inclement weather near the end and tour guide remained engaged, helpful and responsive to ensure we made it back to La Spezia! A must do and great experience.

Jenn_S, Sep 2026

relaxing and refreshing with great views

One of the best things I’ve done on this trip! Highly recommend if you like being in/on the water!! A super chill, relaxing boat trip to see all 5 cities from sea. Captain was a local and gave good history. Nice, long refreshing swim. Also snorkel but not much fish to see. Local snacks, focaccia… (not the usual bag if chips you get in US for a snack). So relaxing and refreshing with great views. Calm seas that day. Would do again!! Matt 1&2 were great!! Pickup at main harbor though don’t have a billboard sign. Look for blue boat. They respond to texts if lost/confused.

Rachael_E, Jun 2026

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!
