Great day exploring Cinque Terre!
we loved our guide Stefano! He is so knowledgeable about the area and we learned so much! He had great suggestions for restaurants and shopping. He guided us to all of the villages of Cinque Terrre by walking from one village to another as well as the train and the ferry. We loved experiencing all aspects and made it an adventure! Highly recommend!

This was great and I am...
This was great and I am so glad we did it. It really is amazing to experience Cinque Terra by the water and see and learn about the villages. We are all so glad we did it!!!! Sunset made it extra special, but any time would be good. The pit stop to swim was so fun!!! Our captain l, Diego, was fun and engaging.

Awesome tour, awesome tour guide!
The trip was fantastic, and we were able to see three beautiful villages. Jonathan was a superb tour guide and got us to each location early, which helped us avoid the crowds and make the most of our time. It is a long day with quite a bit of travel and relatively short stops at each destination, but we felt there was enough time to enjoy each one. I would have loved an extra hour in Monterosso swimming in the Mediterranean, and Jonathan said that was an option, but we chose to see all of the villages instead. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and Jonathan’s organization and local knowledge made the day run smoothly.

This was a wonderful...
This was a wonderful excursion. The boat was not crowded (there were 12 of us) and we had plenty room, the snacks and wine were lovely and more than we could eat. Loved listening to the stores of the area and enjoying a very relaxing time on the water. Plus the sunset...it was stunning.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful tour with amazing pesto!
The private boat tour was a highlight of our stay in Manarola. They were extremely accommodating to meet us in Manarola during the train strike. Our guide was so personable and friendly. He gave us so much great information and history about each town. The pesto was some of the best we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!!

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.
