It was a wonderful experience with many cultural and historical insights and stories from our skipper.
The first stop in a bay where we could jump from the boat into the sea, swim, and dive was fantastic! The second stop in Portovenere was incredibly beautiful, worth seeing, enjoyable, colorful, and vibrant!
A highly recommended tour!!

A very friendly and well-organized tour. We were on board with our children and two dogs. We felt very comfortable, and the dogs were also helped getting on and off the boat.

It was a really lovely experience to drive so close to the coast and admire the houses and rock formations up close. The boatman was extremely friendly and was able to tell us a lot about the origins and history. Simply great!
