Cinque Terre SHARED boat tour, Amazing Experience

Here is an updated version with the swimming included: We had a fantastic boat trip on the sea with spectacular views along the beautiful coast of the Cinque Terre. Experiencing the colorful villages from the sea side was quite special. One of the highlights of the trip was that we were able to swim in the crystal clear turquoise water. It was a wonderful experience and made the trip even more memorable. The combination of the beautiful nature, the clear sea and the relaxing atmosphere on board made this an experience we will soon forget.

Wow beautiful tour. We had a great time. Super organized. Reception, visit of villages and lunch on board great!!! Top boat. Congratulations guys we had a great time. I think it's the best tour of the Cinque Terre.

We absolutely LOVED this boat tour. We try to go on boat tours in every city we visit that has one, and this was one of our favorites! The crew was so kind and accommodating and took us to the most beautiful places! We will for sure book again when we are back.

By far the absolute highlight of our 10 day trip, this particular Cinque Terre Tour was everything we had hoped and more. Prior to booking, I had read about dozens of different tours. Some by train and ferry, some by dinghy, some did not stop in any ports but only offered the view of the cities by water. This tour allows for going ashore for two ports, so we enjoyed a day on the water as well as the charming villages and delicious food and wares. On this tour, you can book a shared boat or a private tour. We ended up going just the three of us, myself, my husband, and our adventurous 3-year-old daughter. The boat was perfect size for a group even much larger than ours. Luca was the perfect host and skipper, explaining to us about each place as we gracefully cruised the waterline. He brought us to two swimming spots where we found crystal clear waters, gorgeous sea life, and privacy. Luca and Valentina were the best. Their personalities and hospitality and kindness really made our day and we are so grateful. We are already planning to come back again next year and bring family and friends because this trip is not to be missed in a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and book this one, it is a sure bet! ✨

This was a very expensive tour. We had requested an English tour and didn’t get that. Our boat captain only gave us one half hour at Porte Venere. He only stopped at one village in Cinque Terre for one hour. He was more interested in stopping for his family to swim. We loved the scenery. But unfortunately did not get an explanation of anything. We took a bus the next day to Porte Venere. For the money we paid. Very disappointing. All our other Viator tours were great. Sorry I had to be honest.

This trip was one of the highlights of our travel in the region because the scenery was amazing and water just beautiful. Please note though that if you are on this "shared" trip and they do not get other people to fill the boat, they will tell you last minute they are going to charge you more or cancel the trip. We said no so they put us on a smaller boat (which was fine), but only after haggling and making us feel like we had our trip was getting cancelled at the last minute unless we paid more. The two gentlemen who operated our boat were extremely nice but did not speak any English, so there was no "guided tour" to speak of. We had a wonderful time but you need to go with the flow I guess when no one speaks the same language.

The water was so amazing and refreshing. The tour guides were so kind. Over all it was a amazing trip I would definitely book with them again.

We had such a wonderful time on the trip to Portovenere, 3 isole and Lerici. We decided against cinque terre and instead did this route and we are so glad we did! Absolutely a spectacular trip and the highlight of our entire one month visit to Italy. Alice and the Captain were friendly, accommodating and made the trip 5x more fun. Loved every minute, worth every penny and would recommend to everyone.

OMG! What an amazing tour! The boat is perfect. The view and visits are exactly what we wanted. Our captain and our host Alice were exceptional. We are recommending this to anyone that feels comfortable on a smaller boat. 🫶

Damiano picked us up in his beautiful boat and proceeded to treat us like royalty. He was knowledgeable about the area and more than eager to answer our questions. He shared his travel experiences and could not have been more accommodating. He surprised us by calling ahead to get us a reservation at the nicest restaurant in town! He made sure our day was memorable and we thank him and appreciate him. I would highly recommend this tour.
