What are people saying about Portofino

David_B, Jun 2026

Top tier private boat tour

Emanuele was an exceptional host and made our day exploring the Ligurian coast truly memorable. He picked my partner and I up in Santa Margherita Ligure before taking us to Portofino, San Fruttuoso, and Rapallo, finishing with a convenient drop-off back in Santa Margherita. What really set this experience apart was Emanuele’s extensive knowledge of the local area. His insights into the history and culture of each destination added so much depth to the tour and made every stop even more enjoyable. We had an incredible day from start to finish and couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. If you’re considering exploring the coast by boat, this experience is absolutely worth it.

An amazing opportunity to...

An amazing opportunity to see the trendy Portofino but then find yourself in the beautiful clear blue waters! Absolutely loved the entire experience learning about the history and exploring portofino, but the best part was definitely being in the water!

Awesome local private guide!

Gabriel was so great. This was the best tour of our vacation - he knew all of the locals, and shared so much interesting history. We noticed other people around us listening to him as he clearly knew what he was talking about. I did t realize he would be teaching us the pesto making, that was amazing too. I would do this again for sure!

Favlio was an excellent guide. He was very personable and informative. He was observant of people in our group that walked slowly. He purchased our ferry tickets and made sure we had plenty of time for the things we wanted to see and do. I would highly recommend Favlio.

What a wonderful day we had on the boat with Lorenzo. He was a wealth of knowledge of history, and he completed our trip with his endless commentary.

Tamar_S, May 2026

Beautiful Portofino

We arrived in Santa margherita with a cruise ship and our guide, Francesco, met us right where the tender boats docked. We immediately took a ferry to Portofino, where he gave us a nice introduction to the town, and then gave us a quick tour around the island before we stopped for lunch and some free time for shopping. Upon return to Santa Margherita, he gave us a quick intro to this town too before we stopped for a tasting of local specialties and a beverage. We had a great time with our guide and thoroughly enjoyed our day!

Guglielmo was fantastic!

What an amazing experience! Guglielmo was our guide and he was fantastic! He took us on a great tour starting in Rapallo. He was very knowledgeable about the history of all the villages and made it very interesting for all of us! He stopped in a beautiful cove that our three boys were able to swim at and then ended the tour by dropping us in Portofino so we could tour the town and have lunch. We would highly recommend this tour!

Fun kayaking!

We really enjoyed this tour. It was a bit of a walk from the port, uphill, but not too bad. Just give yourselves plenty of time. I would say 20 minutes if you are a fast walker. Andrea was a great guide. We are not experienced kayakers, same with the other family on the tour. Andrea was great with making sure we were OK. Even our young teen kids did great! But it was a lot of hard work! It was one of our favorite tours of the trip.
