What are people saying about La Spezia

Werner_T, Aug 2026

Beautiful, invigorating, welcoming

This is a beautiful boat trip on a smaller, but newer, and beautiful boat that takes some maximum of 12 passengers +2 crew members. For those prone to motion, sickness, this may not be the best choice, because the boat was rolling quite a bit in the waves. But I can be prompt motion sickness and were those sea bands on my wrists and did not have any problems. We also got a chance to jump into the blue water, which was really fun. Noodles for flirtation were provided. Although this trips leaves from Levanto, which means a short train ride from one of the Cinque Terra villages, I believe it’s a step above what you might get on most sunset cruises.

We had a fabulous morning...

We had a fabulous morning with Donata cooking a 3 course meal. Donata was friendly, funny and welcoming to my family and I and a wonderful host. She welcomed us into her home with warmth. We learnt about traditional liguarian meals and food. We made traditional fried bread, gnocchi and tiramisu and ate it for lunch with a glass of Prosecco and an incredible view of the mountains Donata took the time to show us her vegetable patch and chicken coop It did feel like for of a cooking experience than a class, but in the end that didn't matter as we had a such a great time in the hills of La Spezia Worth noting that you may need to get a taxi to get to Donata's home however she was very helpful in booking us a taxi to get back to our accommodation in the city centre

Cinque Terre from the sea; No better choice

Good communication from the company/tour guide, hence it was easy to find where the boat departed from. Easy to get there from Lerici/La Spezia or other nearby towns/cities. Fantastic boat driver/tour guide who gave funny and interesting facts during the whole tour. We stopped to swim many times, which of course was much appreciated. Lastly, Cinque Terre speaks for itself, and to see it from the sea, without the crowds, was our highlight of the entire trip.

Andy_A, Aug 2026

Great tour, great food, great guides

I have done a lot of travelling, and been on a lot of boat trips, but this was definitely up there as one of the best. Even though I the captain and team must have done this a thousand times it felt like he was telling the stories for the first time, really amazing team, and the food and drinks we're top notch. A sunset boat trip I'll never forget, definitely helped by the eclipse, but even without the light show I would recommend it!

Relaxed Tour of Cinque Terre

We had a great day on the water as a family. There were many drinks and refreshments offered! The pasta lunch was delicious and plentiful!

Can’t imagine a better way to see cinque terre

Wonderful!! Perfect amount of time to see the villages from the water and take a swim with snorkels. The guides were helpful and informative and the snacks and drinks were a perfect complement to the afternoon. The only negative was that it was difficult to find the correct boat in the port- luckily we saw the sea breeze tshirts on the skipper or otherwise we would have not been able to locate the boat (no sea breeze sign)

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.
