What are people saying about Cinque Terre

Riomaggiore: Pasta & Tiramisu Class in a Local Home by Cesarine

Jacob_T, Oct 2026

The most amazing experience! Please book this if you are in Cinque Terre!

The most amazing experience. Barbara and Stefano were the sweetest couple ever and we are so grateful that they invited us into their home. We now have fantastic recipes that we will definitely be making once we get back home. We felt extremely welcomed and comfortable with them both. They contact you through WhatsApp so be sure to have that downloaded. I strongly recommended this place if you want to learn how to make typical Italian foods! I wish I could go back.

Cinque Terre and Pisa Tower Small-Group Day Trip from Florence

Evan_H, Oct 2026

Our guide, Giancarlo, was...

Our guide, Giancarlo, was extremely friendly and helpful throughout this entire day trip. He drove safely and would give us a quick background summary with restaurant/wine recommendations before we separated at each stop. We did ride in an 8 passenger van which was fine, but be aware in case you are prone to motion sickness in the back of a vehicle.

Awesome Experience

This was one of my favorite excursions in Italy. Our boat captain and his first mate were the best. Super intentive with everybody on board. The food was phenomenal. The drink was flowing, and it was the best being able to swim in the Mediterranean and snorkel around and see the fish. What a lovely experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat well worth it. Got to see an amazing sunset as well.

Cinque Terre Hybrid Boat Tour from Monterosso

PeterBlake, Oct 2026

Really Enjoyable Boat Trip along the Cinque Terre coastline

We had a really enjoyable time on the Cinque Terre Hybrid Boat Trip from Monterosso. The crew (Luca & Eleanor, I think) were excellent. Luca shared stories about the various villages when we stopped. Eleanor keep us supplied with drinks & took photos and generally made sure everyone as having a good time. The views from the boat are fantastic and the swim stop was fun too! Recommended !

Cinque Terre Course of Pesto and Wine Tasting in Vernazza

Cindy_H, Oct 2026

Yummy pesto

Fun activity to do with family. I make pesto at home but still learned alot about how it is made in the region and came away with some hints that I will use. Local wine and cheese was also nice addition to class. Would recommend class to anyone wanting to know more about region. You also do not have to know anything about cooking to have fun in the class.

Anniversary sunset boat tour in cinque terre

We had an amazing time on the sunset boat tour through Cinque Terre! We cruised past all of the beautiful villages as the sun was setting, making for an absolutely gorgeous ride. Our captain and tour guide were both knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even better. We enjoyed some beer and wine, took in the incredible views, and had a great time with the group. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Cinque Terre!

Cinque Terre Boat Tours Experience with Aperitivo and Swim

Inspiration825449, Sept 2026

spectacular view of the different villages

visiting the villages by train is an option, but taking the round trip from Levanto to Porto Venere with the shuttle gives a better view of the villages from the boat, and access to the various docks is quite easy. It is well worth the price of the ticket.

Classic Cinque Terre

Sue_P, Sept 2026

Stress free way to see Cinque Terre

Beautiful views. Be aware that walking is uneven and there are some steep inclines if you have any concerns with mobility. We loved that we got to experience the train and a boat as we went to the various destination’s. Our tour guide Veronica was knowledgeable about the area and we had just the right amount of time at each location to get a feel of the area and a little walking around on our own. Great way to see places if you don’t have more than a couple days in the area.

Lisa_L, Sept 2026

Best it could be under weather circumstances

Our guide Loradana did everything in her power to get us through the day with the horrific weather. Unfortunately we didn’t see much because if an orange alert but I must say she was amazing. We will definitely be back and will book this excursion. Hopefully we can have her again!

Day/Sunset tour in Cinque Terre on board a typical Ligurian gozzo boat

Katia_B, Aug 2026

Fantastic experience aboard a gozzo.

Due to the weather conditions on the day of the excursion, Yvan was able to suggest another visit to avoid canceling the planned itinerary. Thanks to him. Furthermore, he gave us explanations throughout the visit. He is really attentive. The gozzo boat ride was a first and it was really nice; this small vessel allows you to be in complete privacy and in peace. Very relaxing.

Best Way to Spend the Evening in 5terre!

Incredible views you can only see from the water. It was a long tour, but no surprises and it was worth the money. The boat wasn’t overcrowded, there was a nice selection of beverages, and pro tip: when you get the option to go swimming in the gorgeous turquoise water… say yes!
