The best way to visit Cinque Terre - Do this trip! …This was without a doubt the best day of our 4 week tour and the perfect way to visit the Cinque Terre. The boat is beautiful, Lucca was the most wonderful captain and Valeria cooked up a storm and poured drinks all day.. We did with our 12 and 14 year old daughters and they loved iit…. We were worried that 8 hours was too long but it really wasn’t. Views, swimming, lunch, drinks… i can’t recommend this tour enough.

Book this trip! - Do yourself a favor and book this boat trip! It was just the best time ever! Starting from the crew (captain and assistant Vivian), we had a great time chatting, eating and swimming with other people from different countries!
We saw the 5 towns from the sea and enjoyed an amazing time on the beautiful Ligurian sea!

Great day, plenty of food and drink! - Amazing boat trip, relaxing especially if you don't fancy hiking around the national park and fancy swimming. Very generous with drink especially the Prosecco as well as the food which was very tasty.
The captain also arrange a lift for me to catch the train back to Pisa from the port.
Would recommend to those who want a nice relaxing day around Cinque Terre.

A Relaxing Boat Trip Experience - It resembles a boat trip more than a true guided tour. For us, though, it was just what we wanted, and swimming in the midst of the water was simply wonderful.

Peaceful and relaxing - Fantastic day for our family of four. Captain Lucia and his first mate provided a thoroughly safe and enjoyable tour. The tour includes plenty of snacks and drinks. We also had opportunities to drop anchor and swim.

Spectacular Day Filled with Amazing Views! - The overall experience and day were amazing! Our captain (Mossimo) and guide (Matilda) were very accommodating and helpful! The lunch and beverages were delicious! Matilda was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and villages. We were a little disappointed that we were unable to make a stop in Vernazza, however we spent extra time in the other locations.

Great trip to Cinque Terra. - Lovely trip. Beautiful sites. Excellent crew. The reason I would give a 4 and not a 5 is because of the difficult transfer into a row boat to get into Vernazza. And the area that was under cover when it rained, was insufficient for all passengers.

Not a good experience. - Let me start by finding the exact location was a nightmare. secondly we arrive on time and left 45 minutes late and stop for gas. we did not go to out to sea like the tour was suppose to. so Luka took us to a little town to walk for an hour. and drive the boat around the gulf. Unfortunately I would not recommend this trip for the bad experience that we had.
