Such an amazing way to celebrate our 10-year anniversary! ❤️ Our guide was fantastic, and we got to see so many beautiful areas of Cinque Terre, with several stops to swim in the gorgeous crystal-clear water. 🌊🇮🇹 Truly an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our anniversary trip. Highly recommend!
Gerry was such a joy to take us on our tour. Had the perfect snacks and drinks along with the amazing music and the beautiful spots for us to swim.
Gerardo was amazing and very patient waiting for us from the cruise port and very patient with our children.
Gerardo is a super good captain. Despite his inadequate English, he tried to take the wishes of his guests into account as much as possible. For example, we had no less than 5 swimming stops, one of which was in the open sea (further away from the rocks / land). Definitely recommended!
This excursion was fabulous! Beautiful views and peaceful day. Lots of time cruising in the boat, sightseeing and swimming! Food, wine and beer were plentiful. Jerry was very gracious pointed out the towns and answered my questions. Note: this is a sightseeing, relaxing excursion, this is not an informational tour. Also, leave plenty of time from cruise port as it is a 15 min walk to pick up spot on other side of marina.
This was a perfect trip in every way. Captain Gerardo knows what his passengers want from snacks to music to where to swim. We had a magical, unrushed day.
Excellent! Very attentive and kind guide!
We used ginger Gravol (basically ginger pills) prior to getting onto the boat for sea sickness and it worked well for us! The captain, Jerry, was extremely kind and helpful! He was good at pointing out all areas of interest with a bit of history. He was also very good at checking-in with everyone to make sure we were not feeling too sea-sick and offered a solution! Overall the trip was a blast with lots of swimming! My (new) wife and I were on our honeymoon and had mentioned several times that this would have been fun with a big group of friends/family! Highly recommend!!
Wonderful time. Great boat and food. Fun swimming locations. Plan time to get to the pick up location from a cruise ship. Jerry is a great host!
I had been to Cinque Terre before, but wanted to show my friends the area. We had a wonderful day on the sea, seeing the beautiful towns of Cinque Terre. Our captain was fun and informative and the others on board became great friends. Our stop in Monterosso was fantastic, as were the stops for swimming.
