5.00We had great weather conditions which allowed us to hit all planned swimming and snorkeling stops. Andrea was great! Very knowledgeable, he gave us great insight about the area and it's history. He served us a local pesto and local bread that were to die for! I highly recommend this tour.
So good

5.00We had the best day. We did the morning cruise and only had 8 people on our boat. So so good. Andrea was amazing and made it such a relaxed trip. Great way to see the 5 villages. Highly recommend
Amazing. Don’t think about it- book it.

5.00If you’re debating doing this trip - do it. Highlight of La spezia/cinque terre trip! We initially had booked the early time slot but due to poor ocean conditions we had to switch to the sunset cruise, honestly, glad that happened. The sunset was beautiful. Highly recommend. Great value. Prosecco throughout and some good snacks. The guide is very knowledgeable of the area and we learned a lot. We went to a cool swimming spot and got to use the snorkel and swim with fish. Awesome experience, would do it again!
A must-do!

5.00LOVED this experience, especially in the hot summer!! Andrea speaks great English & gave us so much insight on the towns we were seeing. We got to hop out & swim a couple of times in the VERY clear blue water!! It’s a small boat though so no bathroom just FYI ;) But seeing Cinque Terre by boat is the BEST way because the coast is beautiful!!!
