Surprise private tour!! - My girlfriend and I booked this tour a few months in advance of our Italy trip in April, and we were very surprised when we showed up and we were the only ones for the tour! Thankfully they still let us do the tour with everything still included - some history of the Cinque Terre towns, prosecco, snacks, and a wonderful view of the sunset. We even saw some dolphins on the way there!
The guides willingly offered to take pictures along the way and even had windbreakers at the ready for when it got a bit chillier as the sun went down. Great tour with great tour guides, would definitely recommend.

A great way to enjoy Cinque Terre - So much fun! We cruised by each of the Cinque Terre villages and Ale shared interesting details about each one. We enjoyed prosecco and beer at the start, with tasty tapas served mid-way during the tour. We had two stops for swims and swim noodles were provided. The boat was small yet fairly roomy -- we had 12 people on our tour and never felt crowded. The boat tour was a highlight of our stay in Monterosso.

It's got everything! Sea, wind, animals, food and good vibe! - Thank you very much for the boat tour of 5 terre! It was a really fun experience, we created a nice group and Alessio, the captain's right-hand man, was lovely. He gave us an explanation of each small town we were passing, entertained us with typical piqueos of the region and a delicious champagne. We even interact with a seagull while sailing and swimming surrounded by fish! They lent us scuba gear and towels.
It was a dream ride, Service highly recommended, thank you Captain Ale!

Ale Terre 5 Boat Tour - Don't miss this tour Friendly and personable - Magda, Alessandro, Alessio thank you for such a friendly open welcome on board your beautiful boat. From my 1st communication with you, you kept me updated via Whats app of my upcoming tour. I really felt I was amoungst friends. The information you gave us about the history along the stunning coastline with historical buildings, terraced vines, aqua clear waters, towering cliff faces, the swims with rocks bathed in corals and little fish to watch when snorkelling. The local produce aperitifs were 1st class, beautifully presented and so tasty. The pesto and cheese were my favourite but every plate was enjoyed by everyone on board. I certainly will boast your company to anyone I meet coming to this region. I feel very lucky to have chosen your tour group. Well done 👏 Bravo.
Im disappointed not to add photos. My photos size too large

Best way to see CT! - I cannot think of a better way to experience seeing Cinque Terre! The captain and the guide are friends and they made us feel so welcome. Two parents and 5 kids 23-15 years of age from New York. Hard to believe that the food was incredible, but it was!! We had planned to walk through a couple of the towns afterwards, but wale all agreed seeing CT from the sea was the very best way to experience it. The swims in the sea were memorable and all of us can’t recommend it enough. Loved every second, no regrets.
