Enjoy the amazing views of the Cinque Terre coastline by land and sea.
We really enjoyed our tour of three villages located in the gorgeous Cinque Terre region of Italy. Our tour guide, Veronica was quite knowledgeable and also kind. We discovered and learned about the history highlights of Monterosso, Vernazza and Manarola.

Beautiful Cinque Terra but strenuous walking
Wonderful day with our guide (David) Turi. He shared his knowledge and recommendations with us and constantly checked if we needed anything. Small group with one other couple made this experience very personal. Cinque Terra is beautiful and breathtaking. However a word of caution, take the ’moderate’ physical level seriously it’s all hills and not kind on tender knees, hips and backs. Be aware of uneven surfaces and lots of uneven stairs. That being said we highly recommend this tour.

Cinque Terre Day Trip from Florence
We had a wonderful day long tour with Yardis! He was extremely relaxed, knowledgeable, and thorough. He made sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of during this multiple stop tour. There was a perfect balance on tour/information, and free time to explore.

Wonderful day in cinque terre
Loredana was a wonderful guide and ensured the tour was optimised for my wife and I. It is a long day given 3hr train trip each way from Milan, but definitely worth it.
Having a personal guide compared to group tours is a much better way to see these beautiful towns and small streets. Insight knowledge, accommodating your interests, etc... certainly made the day extra special.
Thank you again Loredana for making this such a special day.

Great tour highly recommended
Simone was great! A wonderful and cheerful guide. He provided his mom’s (Laura) pesto which is the best we ever had!
I would highly recommend this tour. We had unfortunate weather that hindered our ability to go out of the port of poets. Communication about the conditions was timely, accurate and honest.

Amazing location - great experience
This was an amazing experience. Our guide Veronica was exceptional, providing the history of the region and all the separate villages. Nothing was too much trouble for her and made the experience so easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Veronica and this experience.

The Best Views
This was a fantastic experience and we enjoyed every minute of it. Mateo and William were excellent navigators and guides. The weather turned a bit early while we were out and they went above and beyond to keep us safe and to keep the boat as controlled as possible. The lunch and wine was also excellent. Would recommend this for anyone in the area.

Really great, relaxing...
Really great, relaxing ride. We were running late and texted the group via Viator. It turned out the boat was also a bit behind (only 10 minutes), but the fact they were responsive was reassuring. Matteo is great tour guide, captain and just a nice welcoming human. He has several facts for every town and really tries to engage each individual (if they're open to it). The boat is also quite spacious and well kept. Don't forget to bring a swimsuit + towel since they take you to a nice cove with super clear water (I forgot or didn't read), especially nice on a hot day as the tour gets started. They bring plenty of beverages and platters of different breads, focaccias which were delicious. After you hit each town, the sunset ride back to Monterosso is quite romantic. Our group had great camaraderie and it's totally family friendly (there was a 2 year old on board with us). There are a lot of boat tours you can sign up for, I would come back to this one.

This tour was just my...
This tour was just my husband and I and another couple which made it more relaxing. The veiws from the water is worth it! Our guide was pretty chill and let us do our thing, but was also very knowledgeable when we asked questions. There is an option to swim, none of us did as we all just wanted to relax and have a few drinks. Highly recommend if you want to see all 5 villages from the water and the sunset is unmatched!
