“Breathtaking views e-bike tour - We absolutely loved our bike adventure through Portofino and surrounding towns. Our guide was Andrea who gave us interesting insights on each of our stops and lots of history about the region. Despite the electric motor, the ride is challenging so make sure you are ready to have tired legs (and bottom!) at the end of the day. Our lunch stop in Santa Margherita was DELICIOUS and gave us the perfect burst of energy to finish the day. Thanks to Andrea for such a wonderful day!!” - Reviewed on 2024-07-14

“An incredible day with an incredible person! - Rocco was amazing! We had three generations (ages 13-73) of family on board Rocco’s boat. Our day started off with light rain but Rocco’s upbeat attitude and great tunes kept us going. He brought us to the most incredible places along the coast and told us the history behind a lot of the secret spots. He was open to adjusting the itinerary and was great about giving suggestions on what to see when we were in certain ports. Mid day, the sun finally broke through and we took a dip in the Mediterranean (bucket list item!!) Overall, such an incredible day with an amazing person! Grazie Rocco!! We hope to see you again!” - Reviewed on 2024-06-11
