We had a very beautiful day with Captain Giacomo and Rosalia; they gave us a very warm welcome and we received little thoughtful gestures throughout the excursion. We were with our 6-year-old son and he loved it.
The trip was a great experience! Everything was well organized, and we had a wonderful time. A special thank you to Giacomo and Rosella, who were extremely responsible, helpful, and attentive throughout the trip. Their professionalism made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Very good experience. The outing was nice and we had a lot of fun. I recommend it to anyone wishing to take a beautiful sea trip in the Cinque Terre.
We had an amazing day with Giacomo and Rosella. They were professional, friendly and so much fun to be with. The day was filled with laughter, dancing and positive energy, making it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend them to anyone for a fantastic day
The whole boat trip was amazing! We had a great day. The boat is nice and well maintained, the ride was smooth. The group was small, 9 in total, which was perfect. We met lovely people. GIACOMO & ROSELLLA were very welcoming and attentionate. I enjoyed the swimming spots, the music, the fun on-board and the whole experience.
Excellent boat tour. Loved the food prosecco and craic
The tour we had originally booked was, due to slight waves (max. 3 BF) was canceled at very short notice; we were offered another, much smaller tour for almost the same price (though no longer via TripAdvisor and without a detailed itinerary). At the pier before departure, there were lengthy discussions about the fact that there were too many people. Finally, we set off significantly later (11:20 instead of 10:00). Our fears and objections that there were far too few shaded spots for the 20 people, despite there being two boats, were unfortunately confirmed. After a fairly short boat trip, the stopover in Porto Venere—a village in the immediate vicinity of La Spezia—lasted a good 1½ hours. We didn't see anything of the Cinque Terre. The so-called "lunch" at 4:30 PM! turned out to be nothing more than tiny snacks. Each of the 10 participants on our boat received a single slice of tomato, a slice of pesto roll, and two small pieces of cheese as well as two thin slices of ham (no additional mozzarella, tomato bruschetta, or pasta, as pictured on the website); in other words: more of a modest, very small aperitif! In our opinion, this excursion was a total rip-off!
Caro signore, nessuno l ha obbligata a fare il tour, visto che aveva diritto al rimborso completo, lei e stato noioso fin da subito, tanto che ci siamo chiesti del perche avesse aderito al tour, il mare era 1,50 di onda per andare alle 5 terre, ma sicuramente lei e' anche un esperto marinaio. il tour era ad un prezzo completamente piu basso 120 euro contro i 169, per 6 ore, per favore dica meno bugie, buona serata
Our 8-hour tour with Marco and Daniella was perfect from start to finish. We sailed past the individual fishing villages and bays with a total of 10 guests on the "Perla," a vintage teak boat, with Skipper Marco providing some information each time, while we were provided with beer, prosecco, juice, etc., as well as fresh fruit and treats like "Occhi di Bue" cookies or focaccia with homemade pesto Genovese by Daniella. After a jump into the cool water, there was "Trofie al Pesto" pasta prepared in the galley, tomato-mozzarella, baguette, and cheese cubes on board. Shortly before anchoring, there was fresh fruit salad, ciambellone lemon cake, and limoncello to finish - an incredibly great, relaxing day!
We had a great day on the water as a family. There were many drinks and refreshments offered! The pasta lunch was delicious and plentiful! Our guides/ hosts Giacomo and Rosella were professional and welcoming. We loved the tour and would recommend! An easy way to see the Cinque Terre towns without the crowds!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience, Captain Giacomo was excellent, stoped at beautiful places to swim and relax, and provided very cool and interesting tips and history about the region. The food was superb , freshly made, with plenty of flavor and drink options, cap wife “La Jefa” was very sweet and treated us like family. We had the must amazing experience, highly recommended 🤩
