What To Expect
Monterosso al Mare
The northernmost village of the Cinque Terre is Monterosso, which is divided into two sides: the historic center and the “new” side called Fegina, with a pedestrian tunnel that connects the two. Monterosso is larger than the other towns and is the only one that offers beach services, making it the most visited of the Cinque Terre.
Vernazza
Vernazza the smallest of the Cinque Terre, and commonly known as the most fascinating with a beautiful marina and the Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia which stands right on the water. Here you will also see the Torre del Belforte which sits right on the harbor as a protective lighthouse for the small village.

5.00Simone was great! A wonderful and cheerful guide. He provided his mom’s (Laura) pesto which is the best we ever had! I would highly recommend this tour. We had unfortunate weather that hindered our ability to go out of the port of poets. Communication about the conditions was timely, accurate and honest.
Exceptional Experience

5.00Our tour with Sara was exceptional. She was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide, and being able to see all 5 villages from the comfort of the boat. Swimming in secluded spots and viewing the marine life with snorkels was a perfect addition to our trip.
Amazing day on the water!

5.00Amazing day on the water! We signed up for the cinque terre boat cruise but the sea was too rough so they took us to the gulf of poets and got to explore portovenere. I’m so glad we went here instead! Great company and our captain Tom was so kind!
Best excursion in Italy… highly recommend Simone as your captain/tour guide!

5.00Simone, the captain was wonderful! Since a local, well versed on the cities, and much more. Also very patient and kind. Answered any random questions we had. Perfect amount of time at each city getting spectacular water views. His mother made our homemade pesto, yummy! His boat is very comfortable too. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Simone as your captain/tour guide!
Great tour & great host!

5.00We booked our tour for leaving out of monterosso. However, due the weather we received a message saying that they could offer to take us out on the gulf of La Spezia instead, let us to walk around one of the towns, and still go swimming, plus add an extra hour free of charge or a full refund if we wanted. We decided to still do the tour and we loved it! Tom was our boat driver, and tour guide and he did an amazing job and made it a very fun 3 hours on the water! We had lots of laughs and memories made.
