Our private boat tour with Hellocinqueterre was the best day of our entire Italy trip! We booked the boat for our anniversary and having it for just the two of us was so special! Nicola was captain and Alexander was first mate- making sure to give us info about the coastline as we passed special things and also making sure the champagne was flowing! It was just the right amount of balance between thoughtful service and leisurely privacy. This was such a beautiful and special experience- getting a unique view of these special towns and insider tips from locals! Would highly recommend this boat tour! Special photos and even more special memories to last a lifetime!

We had an amazing afternoon on the boat tour of Cinque Terra with Nicola and Alessandro. The boat and crew were truly first class. My mom has difficulty getting around, and they made it really easy for her to get on and off the boat. On top of that, they also provided wine, beer, water and focaccia. The weather was perfect, and we were able to see all 5 Terras. On top of that, we also stopped to swim for about 20 minutes. I can't recommend this enough, and I would book them again without hesitation on my next trip to Cinque Terra.

The boat tour was fantastic! Maria was a perfect host and Nicola was a wonderful captain! Maris was so thoughtful in helping us ‘‘em bark, disembark and move around the boat. The views were amazing! The swimming was fabulous-Maria had noodles and goggles and a shower hose to wash off the salt water when we were done. The Prosecco and foccacia bread were delicious. Maria had great information to share about each of the villages. It was an absolutely perfect day! If you are taking a boat tour, it should be with Maria and Nicola!

Maria and Nichola are amazing - excellent and helpful communications before our trip. The 6 hour private tour with them was simply amazing - tour of all five of the Cinque Terre's, swimming, fun, and Maria taught us about the area. This was a very very special and fun day for our family.

While staying in Sestri Levante, my family (group of 6) departed from the marina in Manarola. The tour was beautiful and our hosts were extremely pleasant and knowledgeable regarding the area’s history. We were able to swim in a few gorgeous coves and then enjoyed a lovely lunch on board. The tour provided coastal views of all 5 cinque terre towns. We had a wonderful time.

The best hosts ever. A very comfortable vessel. Beautiful scenery. Warm sea waters. Prosecco and focaccia from the Gods. What more to say. Nicolas and Maria have your best interests and safety in mind when they take you on this glorious tour of the Cinque Terre! They were very accommodating and even helped us navigate to the dock. What a wonderful way to start a vacation. HIGHLY recommended. A must do if coming here. Grazie Mille Nicolas e Maria.

I would give Maria and Nicola 6 stars if I could! Our family of 4 with our 2 adult children had the most wonderful afternoon on their beautiful boat. It is absolutely the best way to see Cinque Terre. They were such gracious hosts and Maria gave us so much interesting information about the villages and the area. The boat trip allows one to take spectacular photos of the villages and coastline while soaking up the Mediterranean sun and sea air and the Prosecco and focaccia were a delicious treat. It was definitely the highlight of our trip so far!

HelloCinqueTerra was the absolute highlight of our trip … cruising with Maria and Nicola was like spending the day with friends! Their warmth and absolute love of what they do was apparent from the moment we set foot on their absolutely pristine boat — Cinque Terra from the sea is an amazing / relaxing way to take in the beauty of this incredible place ( not to mention it is a great break from the crowds in the villages ). Maria is a wealth of information about the area and provided us so much history on the area but also useful information on restaurants, hikes, etc… She helped plan the rest of our trip! Nicola was completely flexible with our schedule and customized our itinerary to create an incredible day. They are a great couple running a great business in a truly special place — I would highly recommend this!!

This was the highlight of our trip! Crew went above & beyond for us to enjoy our evening cruise. The perfect balance of engaging history & space to enjoy the moment to ourselves. The Prosecco and incredible aperitifs were just icing on top of the cake. This is a must-do for an evening in Monterosso!
