I highly recommend seeing the Cinque Terre by boat! This was an amazing day and well worth it. You see so much more by ocean. Damiano and his crew were very professional and very accommodating. Very nice young man. We stopped to swim several times and you can snorkel too, visited two of the villages for an hour. Plenty of time for a snack and shopping. You can bring drinks and food on yourself and picnic. Bring towels and your suit and you are set for a great day! Highly recommend this trip.

Beautiful scenery

Pamela_C, Sep 2023

This was a very expensive tour. We had requested an English tour and didn’t get that. Our boat captain only gave us one half hour at Porte Venere. He only stopped at one village in Cinque Terre for one hour. He was more interested in stopping for his family to swim. We loved the scenery. But unfortunately did not get an explanation of anything. We took a bus the next day to Porte Venere. For the money we paid. Very disappointing. All our other Viator tours were great. Sorry I had to be honest.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear customer, you have booked a shared tour, which includes stops in the villages to visit the villages and stops in the bays for swimming and relaxation. There were other guests with you. To satisfy everyone, we respected all the needs of the people on board. If he wanted a personal tour with personalized stops, he had to book a private tour. She paid for a shared tour but wanted to decide the stops and the itinerary as if it were a private tour. I couldn't do this out of respect for the other guests, sorry.

Best day in Cinque Terre

Janice_M, May 2023

Damiano picked us up in his beautiful boat and proceeded to treat us like royalty. He was knowledgeable about the area and more than eager to answer our questions. He shared his travel experiences and could not have been more accommodating. He surprised us by calling ahead to get us a reservation at the nicest restaurant in town! He made sure our day was memorable and we thank him and appreciate him. I would highly recommend this tour.

Beautiful boat ride

Amy_L, Aug 2022

This beautiful boat ride was a perfect way to get a taste of Cinque Terre by sea and by land. We so enjoyed a beautiful day of boating, swimming, snorkeling and trekking in and around the stunning quaint towns of The Italian riviera. Luca was a great host and captain and Frederico manned the helm smoothly. We highly recommend this fun-filled tour l.

Cinque Terre by boat a must, highly recommend!

Book this tour NOW

Alex_G, Jun 2022

I booked 6 day trips and excursions throughout Europe and Italy during my 3 week vacation. This was by far the best thing we did. This company over-delivered in a big way. We thought it was a group tour, and instead we had the boat to ourselves since we got lucky that day. They were half the price of the comparable boat tours in the area, and they delivered a first class experience. The boat was absolutely beautiful, so clean you could eat off the floor. Damiano was incredible and so kind and sweet to us. Lastly, ignore the previous reviewer who stated that it was dangerous to get on and off the boat. This person must be an elderly reviewer who rarely leaves the house. Yes, there is a 1-2 foot gap between the boat and the dock and you have to take a leap of faith when you step on or off. That's the nature of boating. So if you're between 5 years old and 60 years old you'll be fine. If you live a sedentary life and are not comfortable with taking one big step on and off a boat because you're scared of the gap...then this tour, and possibly life, isn't for you. Book this tour now. It will exceed your expectations. A tremendous value and 5 star experience. Would do it again in a heartbeat

A real wonderful experience by sea!

Jesushoracio_R, Aug 2021

I couldn't recommend this tour more! My trip really came about as a last minute decision and I only had one day to visit Cinque Terre, therefore, I decided to do the tour by sea and it was the best decision ever. I had seen photos of Cinque Terre, and I knew it was going to be great, but my experience was simply beyond my greatest expectations. The scenery by itself was magical and getting the opportunity to swim and feel the delicious waters was another great perk. The captain was very nice but who really made my experience so nice and welcoming was the beautiful hostess Sofia. I'm so grateful to Sofia because even though I travelled solo, she made me feel like I was in company of a friend, and her taste in music is also wonderful. Thank you so much Sofia, Luca, and the whole team behind the tour!

Empresa informal , no tenían nuestra plaza guardada pero sí cobrada

Martha_G, Aug 2022

La compañía de la excursión nos informaron a última hora que no teníamos sitio en el barco que habíamos reservado ( y nos habían cobrado ya). Nuestras plazas se la dieron a otro grupo y a nosotros nos ofrecieron la misma excursión pero en una lancha ( una embarcación bastante peor ) sin descuento ni nada , no tuvimos otra opción de aceptar porque era nuestro último día y no teníamos tiempo para contratar otra excursión con las características que habíamos pagado. Una pena , porque el sitio es una preciosidad y el patrón que nos llevo ( Mateo) fue muy amable , pero la empresa fue informal y como éramos 3 nos dejaron fuera de nuestra reserva , para meter un grupo de 6.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Estimado cliente, hubo un error en la agenda electrónica. No es nuestra culpa que dos reservas se superpusieran en el mismo día. Te ofrecimos una alternativa para poder realizar la excursión o la posibilidad de cancelar y ser reembolsado íntegramente sin ningún problema. Todos tenemos reseña de 5 estrellas, la tuya es la única negativa, disculpa tu experiencia, fue un error del sistema electrónico. Nos disculpamos y lo invitamos como invitado en un próximo viaje. Gracias por la opinión sobre Matteo, nuestro patrón.
