Highly recommend! Great experience.

The best tour ever! Tommaso was knowledgeable and fun. Lucca was the type of town we wanted to see while in Italy and it didn’t disappoint. The wine tasting and light lunch was top notch, we actually sat in the vineyard. Could not have asked for a better day.

Lyn_S, Mar 2026

Great experience!

My family and I spent a week in various parts of Italy, and Daniela’s cooking class was definitely one of our favorite activities. She has a great personality; we learned a lot; and she worked very hard serving us a sit-down meal following our cooking. We loved the privilege of being in her home, and it was a joy to to spend an evening with her!

Wendy_P, Nov 2025

Great way to see Florence and Pisa

We packed a lot into the time we had in Florence and Pisa. Daniela our tour guide was very knowledgeable but very soft spoken. I would suggest maybe headsets for the guests. If you don’t enjoy to walk this is not the tour for you. Fortunately we all knew this before the tour the others on the tour were not prepared for this. Overall an excellent experience

We had a fabulous experience on our boat tour. The young men were awesome hosts! Their sincerity proved that they loved their country and they were very proud to share their knowledge as we toured the incredible coastline of The Cinque Terre villages. Italy truly is a country easy to love and we look forward to returning some day. Ciao!

Cinque Terre by boat.

Spent a wonderful morning on a boat tour with the Sea Breeze crew, William and Matteo. They did a lovely job of making everyone comfortable and offering insight into the unique characteristics of each town in Cinque Terre. Unfortunately the waters were a little too rough to take a dip, but the day was quite enjoyable. We had focaccia breads and wine on the ride back with music. A great day!

Cinque Terre Private Boat Tour

David_F, Sept 2025

The only way to see the Cinque Terre!

What an incredible experience! My wife and I decided we were too old and out of shape for the Cinque Terre hike. We decided to take a boat tour to see the Five Lands from the sea and couldn't be happier. Dimitri, our guide, was fabulous. He spent time speaking about the five lands. We had our own private tour, we were offered food and drink and a chance to snorkel, Honestly, I think this is the only way to see all five villages (lands). I can't recommend it enough!

Classic Cinque Terre

Sheila_H, Sept 2025

Beautiful day with unforgettable memories!

Veronica made this day the perfect balance of carefree, relaxing, and fun. She took the worry out of traveling in a foreign country and it was like having a friend with you that was an expert. She provided interesting information about the beautiful Cirque Terre towns, excellent recommendations to eat, and free time to explore. It was a lovely day! Thank you so much Veronica!

A La Spezia Must Do!!!

My family and were here for a cruise and had an incredible day with Marco and Laura. The team was highly accommodating (ensuring we would make it back to our ship on time), extremely knowledgeable and unbelievably kind. The lunch we had was delicious and spending the day on the water with great company was nothing short of incredible. In addition to our lunch, we had morning snacks, mid-afternoon bites and even a dessert! Not to mention the Italian wine was flowing. What a great day—thank you to the team and especially Marco and Laura!

Boat Tour of the 3 Islands & Portovenere

Clodagh_C, Aug 2025

Fun on the water - great way to cool off on a hot day

This was a memorable trip on a RIB with our friendly and knowledgeable guide Nick. As well as a tour around the islands and outside caves, there was time for a swim off the boat for 10 minutes. Despite what other reviews have said, it was so easy to find the meet up on the promenade. Portovenere was great though could have done with more time as an hour was too short by the time you get your bearings. Time enough for drink or ice cream there but not food. Such fun on a hot day.

This was a really unique...

This was a really unique way to see the five towns from a speedboat. Our guide was very knowledgeable it was good that the excursion was only four hours The boat tour gives you unique view of the coastline that you would miss if you were taking a train. Be prepared for a bumpy ride as the waves were rolling in the times you can feel dizzy
