Itinerary
Cinque Terre
The Cinque Terre are ancient fishing villages located along the rugged Italian coast. Each of these villages is characterized by colorful houses and vineyards clinging to the steep terraces created on the coast. The ports are crowded with fishing boats and in the typical trattorias it is possible to try seafood specialties, as well as the famous Ligurian seasoning: pesto. The Blue Path, a hiking path that stretches along the coast, connects the Cinque Terre with each other and offers splendid views of the sea.

Can’t miss cinque terre experience. Bring a swimsuit.
Perfect. Too beautiful. Wear a swimsuit in case there is time to swim. It is well worth it. You have time to indulge in the moment.

Amazing Guide and Gorgeous Ride
It was a casual boat ride. Be sure to dress in comfortable shoes. Also, there was an opportunity to swim so wear a suit and bring a towel if you wish to swim.

Great experience, the...
Great experience, the staff were very friendly . The boat ride was gorgeous and we got about a 20 min swim out in the ocean . There were drinks onboard . It’s a great way to see all five towns .

Not for serious photography
Upside: The two swimming stops were enjoyable, and Alex was a friendly, professional guide. Downside: The tour didn't live up to the expectations set by the promotional photos. I booked it specifically to photograph the villages from the water, but that wasn't really possible. If you're planning to bring a dedicated camera, I wouldn't recommend this tour. The boat moves quickly, there isn't much opportunity to compose shots, and it seems much better suited for snapping a few pictures with a cellphone. If photography is one of your main reasons for booking, you may want to choose a different tour.
Operator response
Dear Guest, thank you for the review, but you booked a group tour with a specific itinerary to follow. If you wanted to take professional photos ,and customize your experience and your boat tour ,than you should have booked a private tour, not a collective one. Thank you

Spectacular views
Take slip off shoes as you need to remove all footwear before stepping onto boat. Diego gave us a relaxing ride while narrating the history of each town. Endless prosecco, wine, lemon sodas and water

An unforgettable sunset cruise
Everything about this experience was great. The initial communication, the personalized email message, and the meet-and-greet were all excellent. The information shared by our captain (I'm terrible with names, but I'm pretty sure it was Franco) made the trip even more enjoyable. He even dropped us off in Monterosso, where we were staying, which saved us a train ride back. The drinks were flowing throughout the cruise, and although it was a small group of only eight people, everyone was friendly, having a great time, and enjoying getting to know one another. I highly recommend this company and this experience. In my opinion, if you don't do a sunset cruise, you miss so much of what makes this beautiful part of the world so special. Thanks to everyone involved—we had a blast and took some amazing photos that will last a lifetime!

This was great and I am so glad we did it. It really is amazing to experience Cinque Terra by the water and see and learn about the villages. We are all so glad we did it!!!! Sunset made it extra special, but any time would be good. The pit stop to swim was so fun!!! Our captain l, Diego, was fun and engaging.

See it all with one cruise!!
