Cinque Terre 2026 Calendar of Events

Excellent boat tour with information on each village! In addition, there was a nice stop for swimming and snorkeling which was lovely! We enjoyed our afternoon with Ivan!

The captain Johnny and Natiana were fun and so attentive. The boat was very comfortable and snacks and drinks were great. The length of time was just right. Swimming in the beautiful water was special.

This was the best- informative, fun, delicious!! I never thought I would like pesto but so different fresh. Great wine and cheeses too.

Amazing experience with Tatiana and Johnny.

Wonderful experience! Would absolutely recommend and would do again! Our guide, Alessandro, was very kind and knowledgeable about the region. We had delicious wine, limoncello, lemon jam, focaccia, and lemon cookies. There was about a half mile hike up to where the wine tour took place. The view was absolutely spectacular, we could have sat there all day!

Great experience. Beautiful views of towns. Alessio was great, helped adjust seats and explained the bike controls, so easy to use. We enjoyed the morning ride and weather was perfect.

A friend recommended we do a cooking class while in Italy… and I’m so glad she did! The environment was welcoming. The pacing and guidance were perfect. Midday was a great time to do this, while the town was busy and we were tucked away making and having an Italian lunch with a local who clearly loves and knows her pesto! So fun! And delicious!

My wife and I had an excellent experience with Ivan on our “Honeymoon” sunset tour! Ivan contacted us prior to our planned tour to notify us that he would be picking us up at 5 because with a 2 and a half hour tour and the shorter September days, we would have the perfect sunset to enjoy. Ivan was very accommodating as he took us around the islands of Palmaria and Tino. He played our kind of mood setting music while he filled us in on the local history and explained to us what we were seeing. After a while, he anchored us in a calm little cove on the North shore of the Isola del Tino where we could enjoy some music, snorkeling, local focaccia bread/pizza and a bottle of prosecco while the sun dropped to meet the horizon. It was an amazingly colorful Ligurian sunset as we made our way back to our departure point. The views were amazing. Madonna Bianca stood as a warning on the “Devils Rock” to warn sailors of the dangers of the shallow waters. Grotta dei Colombi di Isola Palmaria was a nice little grotto to see and even the goats on the cliff faces were there to enjoy the sunset. To end it all, Doria Castle was something to see against the brilliantly colored fiery sky. All in all, a perfect tour with an excellent guide and an unforgettable sunset. Thank you Ivan!

After a short trek back up the trail, it was the perfect way to relax at the end of an adventurous day and to take in the spectacular Vernazza. Alessandro was such a nice person and took personally our experience. We did this at the end of a day that we did the hike from Monterosso to Vernazza, so we were a little tired, but the Lemoncino and Lemon Jam made us forget it. I recommend this tour to better understand an important part of the local culture.

Beautiful views of Cinque Terre from up high in the mountains. Passing vineyards and little groups of houses. Seeing a quiet peaceful side of the area. The roads are at times steep and curving but ebike made it doable

Seeing all five of the Cinque Terre villages from the sea bathed in the warm glow of the sun is an unforgettable experience. That being said, what makes this tour outstanding is the humor and personality of Bepi, the cruise captain. He was warm and personable in sharing his knowledge and love for the area, having grown up in Vernazza. You will truly enjoy this magical evening.

We had a great tour with Bepi as our captain! He was very knowledgeable, having grown up in the region and was entertaining. We felt safe and well cared for the whole time. It was amazing to see the villages from the sea. The swim stop was “perfetto”. So glad we did this. Thanks to Bepi and Yuri for your care and attention!

Our host at our AirBNB referred us to Diego and his company. I didn't expect to be able to book them because it was truly a last minute decision to try to tour Cinque Terra by boat. We were family of 4 with 1 friend. We had a private tour that was about 7 hrs. long. We were able to swim off the boat in the blue water of Mediterrainian and sip wine and plenty of water. The lunch was such a surprise - so many options of great Italian food! And on journey back - a huge fruit tray was served as well! The captain and first mate were full of history and information and made us all feel very comfortable! I'd recommend to anyone wanting to see the area by boat. You do stop at one of the towns with plenty of shopping time!

Alessio was very kind and did a great job getting us comfortable with the bikes and educating us on the different stops throughout the tour. The difficulty level was pretty low because of how much the E bikes helped. Amazing sights to see throughout the mountains, and it was overall a very memorable experience!

This tour was an amazing hidden gem in Vernazza! The views were breathtaking and the olive oil and wine were so fresh and delicious. Alessandro was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend!!

We had a fantastic time, the focaccia was excellent and the service perfect. Great wine selection.
