Troy_S, Jul 2026

Great day on the water

Originally scheduled a 12 pm trip. The company called two weeks ahead of trip to notify us of a mandatory change to 2 pm due to military operations in the bay. The dock is 5 minutes from the cruise terminal (may change after port repairs) and afforded us a tour of La Spezia. We departed with Niko as captain. He was cordial and provided commentary on each of the villages along the route. We stopped for a swim before staying an hour in the last village. Sea was calm and the trip was great. Good communication ahead of time and from Niko during the trip. We had 3 kids and another separate group with us.

Great honeymoon experience

The boat and tour were absolutely beautiful. This was a great way to see a unique view of every village and learn some history. The pier and docking point was a little difficult to find but we ended up in the right place and the tour made the initial anxiety worth it!

La Spezia: Pasta & Tiramisu Class in a Local Home by Cesarine

Renee_S, Jul 2026

Amazing experience!

This is the excursion you brag about to your friends. The one where you’re in the beautiful home of a local Italian family, learning their grandparents recipes, meeting their pets, sample fruit from their trees. The one where you ask yourself “why don’t we make gnocchi as a family every Sunday?” and reconnect with a calm way of life. Elisa was wonderful. Her home is exactly what you’d imagine. Her family was warm and welcoming. The conversation was diverse and rich, and the language barrier made it all the more fun and interesting. And of course, the food was incredible. If you are cruising, I recommend arranging transportation at the port. The taxi situation is a bit hectic.

We loved this tour. The staff , Mateo and Matia , were very friendly and informative. The food and drinks were excellent. They took us to all the 5 towns and gave us some great insights and answered our questions . We loved the place where we could get in the water and snorkel. They communicated the instructions clearly on where to get on the boat even made recommendations on travel to the town where we embarked and disembarked since we came from Genoa.

Florence/Pisa

Our guide Sharif was excellent , informative and very cordial. He had great local knowledge for this trip. Just be aware there is alot of walking, we did over 6 miles..as well as bus seat time, roughly 4.5 to 5 hours in the bus. Bus was comfortable but, no bathroom and whomever the bus company was arrange for a bus the didn't have enough seats ..therefore, our guide Sharif , was sitting on the floor all the time.. All in all a great trip to wonderful city..Unfortunately, not enough time in each city to truly explore..a reason to return

We had the pleasure of...

We had the pleasure of having Raphale spend the day with our family for a second time, this time showing us the beautiful coastal Cinque Terre towns. What an absolutely beautiful place made even more special by Raphale telling us about the history and giving us the highlights. After two trips in one week with Raphale, he was like part of our family. I highly recommend using him for any activities to see the beautiful country of Italy and learning about the history and culture. Thank you Raphale!!!

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.

Great Tour of Cinque Terre in April

Lorenzo and William were great! We were a family of 8 and had plenty of room. They were knowledgeable and gave us the history of the area. Having a bathroom was key with our group of 8 with 2 kids. Our tour was on 4/19 so it was to chilly to jump in but the weather was great! They told us about Porto Venere so we went there the next day.
