Book it! - We had a great trip with Luca and Chiara as our hosts. Visited all five villages and traveled with only two other couples (totaling 6 guests + the 2 hosts on the boat). They provided tasty drinks, snacks & lunch. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience with exceptional service - A highly recommended experience.
Well organized, Chiara picked us up and directed us to the boat that captained Luca exceptionally.
A pleasant walk that, under the explanations and the exquisite and attentive service of Chiara allowed us to know the coast of the Cinque Terre. A single stop in Vernazza of just 30 minutes. Some other stop was missed.
Throughout the trip Chiara offered us all kinds of drinks and snacks (chips, focaccia with pesto, grapes, cheeses...). The food, simple but sufficient (tomato and buffalo salad, grapes with cheese, pasta al pesto, cold cuts...).
A highly recommended experience.

A wonderful day, on top! - The best way to visit the 5 Lands is by boat with a great crew. Many thanks to Luca and Daniela for making us spend a wonderful day, both for their kindness and helpfulness. The meal was fresh and excellent, beer, prosseco and limoncello to accompany everything from start to finish. Nothing to say, everything was perfect!

Our best two days in Cinque Terre - a must do! - What a wonderful experience. We really can’t say enough about this tour. Captain Lucca handled the boat expertly and knows a lot about the area. He gives a concise talk about the lore of the area as well as historic buildings and villages you see. He also just lets you drink in the incredible beauty of the surroundings when it is appropriate. Our hostess was Vivien. She genuinely smiled while she worked, and nothing was too much trouble for her. She kept up a constant flow of food, drink and good cheer (and manned the boat for a while). Pic of Lucca and Vivien attached – those smiles are the real thing! They were both so accommodating that they made you comfortable the minute you stepped on the boat. (Thank you both for the amazing days!) This trip provides far and away the best views of the villages of Cinque Terre you will find. You see everything so much better than on land. The boat has a bathroom, freshwater shower and plenty of sun or shade as you like. The boat stops 6 to 8 times to allow you to swim and they serve a delicious Mediterranean style lunch. The water in the Ligurian Sea is an amazing shade of sapphire and when you get in, it feels like silk on your skin. The experience is more like being out on a friend’s boat in one of the world’s most beautiful places than a typical boat tour. We enjoyed it so much; we went back the next day to enjoy it all over again (and Vivien even changed he work schedule so that she could be there on our second day)! If you only do one thing in Cinque Terre this is the thing to do.

Dream Come true For Us ! - This excursion was the best of our trip so far!
Lucca the very experienced, knowledgeable and local Captain of the boat was fabulous !
And Daniela his first mate was a wonderful hostess and so very sweet!
Lucca gave us a running commentary on all the sights and what to expect ahead.
Daniela kept the water and drinks coming and also prepared us plenty of snacks and a beautiful lunch.
We stopped at least five times along the way so we could swim in the sea. The water was beautiful and in a few places we could see to the bottom.
We could also see all the towns of Cinque Terra from the boat, but were unable to stop on shore due to the crowds and shortage of smaller boat to ferry us in.
The crowds at the docks and the very hot day made us very thankful that we stayed on the boat.
We enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend it.

unfortunate trip for us - We weren't too sure what to expect when we booked our trip. The boat was smaller than I thought it would be they did save it was 10m. It was an old timber boat very cozy and slow, hence why its 8 hour trip. For me the speed of 13kmh wasn't ideal with the swell. The boat would sway every which way making us sick. We couldn't get past that and we needed to get off at one of the ports. The staff where excellent, the called a local to pick us up and we were on land in 5 minute. So for us we did enjoy our trip so can't really comment.

FIASCO TOTAL - What a disappointment!
Tour cancelled 2 hours before Check-out at 10:00.
Wake up early + transfer planned because we were 40 minutes away! All for nothing. A beautiful day in perspective that aborts 😂.
A professional worthy of the name must plan B whatever happens.
No postponement possible in the coming days.
So called "a boat breakdown".
I find it very hard to believe the favorable comments, as if it were all a scam.
It's up to you to see if you're a gambler, at the risk of losing a day's vacation.
